What was everyone's favorite season? I feel like I'm in the minority, in that 2 was my favorite, with 3 being a close second.

Not just a singer, but the female lead of the show, Katey Sagal.

And that montages are the only way to tell a story.

Yep. I did too.

Alright, season 2 of The Wire: good, or bad?
Personally, I think its arguably the shows best season. Season 4 is my favorite, and OK the best, but I wouldn't be hard to sway me to season 2. The character switch is a bit jarring at first, but once you accept it, Frank and Nick are easily 2 if the shows best characters.

Frank Sobotka is one of the shows best characters.

4>2>3>1>5
I think we can agree that 4 is the best, 5 is the worst, and the order of 1-3 is irrelevant.

I hated Andy so much in season 9. Like to the point where i almost stopped watching simply because of how insufferable he was.

I dont hate Ed Helms, but there are few characters that I've hated as much as Andy. I actually kinda sorta like season 9 of the Office, but mainly because of that long stretch of episodes were Andy was gone.

Earth A
Fire A
Change A
Air A-
Spirits B
Water B-

Random character reminding us that Jax is a good person.

Alright, bet time. How long will the finale be? My guess is 3 fucking hours. Excluding commercials of course.

And Gemma's gonna have to go get Abel so they can have the murder suicide.

I'll be more surprised of he doesn't rip it off then if he does. Who's gonna kill themselves and whose gonna end up with the immunity deal?

I agree with you completely. Season 1 still ranks among some of my favorite TV ever, but the back end of 2 was just awful. Even those fantastic first 5 episodes had some dumb things in them. Brody having to escort the bomb maker. what!? But i really enjoyed the last 4 episodes of season 3, which was enough to push it

This season, good or bad?
I'm enjoying it, in like a 24 kinda way, but its not exceptional by any means.
Still better than season 2. I really really hated season 2. Honestly, i like season 3 more then season 2. Although, I am in the minority that I actually kinda like season 3.

They gave 2 episodes of the X-files an A+

Well the premiere is shortly before the winter solstice, and then at one point they say Sozin's Comet comes around the end of Summer, so less than a year.

Yeah, Im going to start it tomorrow, i just wanted to hear a couple opinions on how it stacks up to the original. Thanks!

Alright, thanks!
