I like the rest of the series, for the most part. It's certainly more inconsistent as it goes but saying to ignore it because it doesn't live up to the first 25 episodes is doing viewers a disservice. Those 50 episodes are still some of the best space opera ever put on television.

Sometimes I think people say they like that storyline because they like the resolution to that storyline. I like the resolution, but the rest of the storyline is pretty weak in my opinion. Actually worse than a lot of the stuff that comes later that folks love to trash.

I love reading the discussion of the 100, normally, but man did that episode thread turn into an unreadable dumpster fire quickly.

I'm not sure its advantageous for them to crack down on it, as I believe (too lazy to fact check this right now) most studies have simply shown that people who do this wouldn't pay for the service if they weren't borrowing it. Companies would make very little extra profit and would provide a worse service for their

I mean, yes you are correct and for the first two seasons they really followed that thread line. Hell even after four season that ending would have been acceptable. But they pushed so hard in the later seasons to show us why Ted & Robin weren't together, why it was regression whenever they went back towards each other

It's two black swans.

Good question. On the one hand they've had something like two years since they wrote the pilot (is Head Six in the pilot I can't remember) to figure out the endgame with her. On the other, the Cylons spouted religious motivations so often it could have easily been a throwaway line at that point.

Oh man I super agree with this. All the religious stuff is baked in from the pilot, so having characters end up being angels is actually totally fine and the ending largely lines up with the series as a whole with some narrative leaps as far as piloting every bit of technology/medicine/etc into the sun (its dumb but I

Just wanted to drop in and say thanks for adding this show to regular coverage. It's a personal favorite and I love the deep dive into this particular corner of WWII history.

I agree with you. They are definitely a let down in their second appearance and while I'd say they are deployed effectively in the Pond finale that's more a story about the Ponds than a story about the angels. They'll never match that first episode, which is easily a top 2-3 of all the new Doctor Who.

Since I just finished up the final Pond episodes, its sort of hand-waved away that he can't travel to that location & time because of the damage the angels had done to the time line because of that hotel & something something.

I'd love to see WWZ does as some sort of anthology series. That book is great because it at least tries to look at how different cultures would react to a zombie outbreak, and then fight it, etc.

I'm sure this has been covered here before, but we just cut cable and our biggest gap now is apparently Jeopardy. I cannot find a way to watch it online legally - anyone got any tips?

This is essentially my exact recollection. I also remember being annoyed that they dropped 'and a Pizza Place' out of the title. I actually didn't even remember Fillon being in it until that picture above.

I don't as strongly dislike 6-7 as some people, still some really good episodes in there, but its tough to argue Buffy shouldn't have gone out after the S5 finale. Perfect, heart-breaking ending.

I think I mostly agree with this breakdown. Ultimately Buffy had higher highs and lower lows, but I'd put two Buffy episodes above anything in Angel this episode included (this and Smile Time would probably be my top two).

I'll bite - define outgrew? Was emotionally and educationally mature enough that the lessons the show was teaching no longer need to be taught to them?

In short, no. As the father of a just recent toddler I've been re-introduced to the world of PBS morning programming, and I'll take Sesame Street over anything else they air still.

I hated him, but I think you are supposed to mostly hate him so I'm not sure he counts. Yes, he introduces some challenging ideas but mostly he's just a creep.

This is a good point. I was madly, crazy in love with my girlfriend in college…. and then I broke up with her less than year after graduation. You grow up, and sometimes you just don't grow up the same direction.
