Not for nothin', but is this supposed to cover two episodes or what?  The whole article of "Larry's Agent" is repeated twice.

I'm just glad they left out the 1 Broke Cup…

Didn't know what to write - I was flabbergasted to see no one had posted yet, but I just hate the firsties thing and wanted to put something here to prevent yet another round of that pain-in-the-ass game.

Hey, Mitchell - word on the street's you're a jerk!

Nicely understated, Zack!
*Aquiel is Haliian, an alien race so different from humans that they have slight bumps on their foreheads.

Starsea from Replay
In Replay, the protagonist dies at his desk in 1988 and finds himself back in his 18 year-old body back in college, over and over. On one go-around, he finds something radically different - an early 70s movie called Starsea, a collaboration between pre-fame Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, with

Dangit - two errors in my own post. TTFAW (world, not planet), and tho they planned to electrocute The Carrot, they really burned him up with kerosene. Sorry

I've read that the writers on the original (TTFAP) couldn't figure out how the heroes would finally be able to kill the thing. A secretary said "A giant carrot? You'd cook it!" And that's how the electrocution thing was written.

I was getting tired of torture being the go-to method of interrogation in the 2nd and 3rd seasons, but when they demonized an ACLU/Amnesty International lawyer as deliberately trying to destroy the US, that show completely lost me.

How 'bout Grease? And 300!
I watched it a dozen times over the years, and really enjoyed it, and only then did it hit me - the happy ending doesn't require the guy stop posing and living based on his spot in an ephemeral gang. No - it means the perfectly decent girl has to remake herself as a slut!

Odd….
I watched and enjoyed SATC through most of its run, but those (accurate) episode synopses almost made me throw up…

Seconded - Kiln People is extremely good (though I found the ending a little over-the-top).

As a big Robert Sawyer fan, I was very eager to see Flashforward work. I'm with you all about how it never figured out what it wanted to do (apart from some terrific moments). What really, really pissed me off about it was that it would introduce a Big Bad, use that character a few episodes, then whip up a different

@Lindsay Thomas
You should definitely check out Replay by Ken Grimwood. There's some overlap with the adult/child issue that turned you off of TTTW, but I think it fully addresses the concerns you had about that. There's one section of the book that I find a bit disposable, but overall it's fascinating and really

Damn you, Bad Horse - I was just logging in to add that quote!!

Excuse me - about Excitable Boy
Um, doesn't "after ten long years they let him out of the home" mean that it's more than single day in the protagonist's life? Especially since THAT'S when he "dug up her grave, and built a cage with her bones".
