The Norman Bates thing was ridiculous. I wonder what they are going to copy off of next? Prison Break? X-Men 3? The Manchurian Candidate? Star Wars?

This episode was one of the worst hours of television I've ever seen assembled. "F" is a fucking gift because it actually gives the episode the legitimacy of being placed on a grading scale.

I'm not convinced that Bryan Fuller is anything decent. I say show me the money.

What's problematic is that in the same season that Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Dollhouse, maybe Chuck, and other halfway decent shows are cancelled before their time, this show gets renewed by NBC.

Aziz is definitely the MVP of the show so far. I also like the Bobby Knight-loving boss guy, although he didn't have much to do this episode. I like how they keep bringing up the violent history of the town too.

BOOBIES!
Is it just me or are Agent Freckles' boobs looking bigger (and nicer) each week? Now that she's back at HQ sans jacket and under flourescent lights you can see that her shirt is see-through and that she's wearing a dark bra underneath. They seem to employ a bunch of gratuitous scenes of her walking to and…

I'll just stick to watching it on my HD flatscreen tv, rather than doing some IT gymnastics just so I can get the episodes on my 12-inch mac screen, thanks.

"That's the bar we all go to after work in my dreams."
That bar was called "Finnigan's", and it was named after me!

Fringe is spectacular. Probably the best show on right now that isn't called Lost or Friday Night Lights, but yeah, other than that Fox sucks ass. The good news is that they're coming out with that reality show about fat people, so more high-quality arthouse programming is on the way.

Yeah, this show is flat out awesome. I liked it from the beginning, but over the last several episodes (maybe ever since we first met the observer) it has been creeping steadily up my favorite show (currently airing) meter and now rests prooudly in second place behind the untouchable Lost.

Ouch Dave G, Battlestar is currently rolling over in its grave.

Nope, it's definitely shit.

This show would have done fine if it was executed well. This is a failure of the writers, not the death knell for hour-long serials on network tv. Although I do prefer to see those types of shows on cable networks, so that they feel free to take more risks. Kings started off with a risky concept then decided with…

Damn these typos. I am literate, I swear. "Coap" opera? For the love of god I suck at typing.

When you take a concept that is highly original and try to turn it into something that Grey's Anatomy viewers would find interesting and appealing, you are bound to produce something sucky. something that does not know what it is or is trying to be. Hence the coap opera comparisons. I would think that the target…

Niko, you've nailed the republican response to every single argument ever. Kudos.

Gee, I know the story is based on the bible, what exactly are you getting at? The bible reads way more interesting than the bland presentation of this show. They simply do not do a good job with the material at hand. It should be more IMPORTANT. The episodes should focus on the more important and monumental…

I agree, I swear I was sitting there like "please make this an illusion where he caps the russian and danko pisses himslelf." But, alas, I was disappointed yet again. Parkman remains the least compelling and most hateable character on television. I almost threw up when he met his baby.

I'm not sure you fully understand sci-fi as a genre, despite your avatar. Any sort of alternative reality is by definition sci-fi. It doesn't have to be set in the future or feature spaceships.

Maybe that's why it's so bland and vanilla.
