Rick finally got some balls.

What was so satisfying about the Chuck finale? Sarah loses all her memory just before it. So they repeat the same story we had already seen throughout the show one last time, and then it's left with a "the story goes on after the audience tunes out".

So basically, Chuck never took itself seriously, so it's okay for it to have tripped up and stumble across the finishing line. Okay.

Don't get me wrong I love Chuck, but I find it interesting that it gets a semi-free pass from a lot of criticisms because it made you feel good. Well, so did LOST.

Hmm I didn't find it to be all that unbelievable. He knew that his meeting was rescheduled because of Raylan. And so the meeting he goes to ends up being a police set up - and Raylan is the police.

Great write up. LOST is still one of my favorite shows, despite its many flaws. While I do agree with people they dropped the ball with the island plot, I still loved the story front to back. It was an enjoyable ride, and one that I plan to revisit.

I'm really happy they are doing this. I'll admit, American Horror Story was a mess. But it was an enjoyable mess, and was good at doing what they did. The Walking Dead is a show that has all the critical and artistic check off boxes filled and yet, that show is pretty damn awful IMO. Not even the incredible makeup,

I missed this! Thanks. While I still don't think the complete happy ghost plot was earned, it goes down a lot easier knowing that story line is done.

Not like we could ever expect much from this show anyways, but I was a bit let down with this finale. Like Todd, I just find it truly weird how the Harmon's went from being this depressed and anguished family, to being really happy in the afterlife. I wouldn't have had this problem, if say, some of the other ghosts

We have a winner.

Thanks for clarifying. I always thought the original Hobbit was: "There  and Back Again". That's why I was a bit confused with where this title came from.

But Dexter has an incest plot where the sister walked in on him murdering. That's edgy.

Love the list. But am I the only one that thinks Parks & Recreations is the most awesomely overrated show? I mean, I love it. I really do. But at the same time, I didn't find this season anywhere as good as the last. Whereas, I thought Breaking Bad this season might have been its best (it certainly contained some of

Oh Dexter, lol. No award for best incest?

What's with this "An Unexpected Journey" non-sense…

I mean, at the very least they could have done a better job with explaining why Dexter is straying from the code. They kind of attempted to do this in season 4, where we saw he was tired from juggling his job and being a parent. And as a result he was slipping. Which, in hindsight is laughable. Because, shouldn't he

I haven't seen all of House. But I'm assuming they found out they were related after they had already started the relationship. My comment was just saying, if you met your biological sister that you never knew existed, and never found out that you were related, you would have no issue with it. But it's when you do

Well, I think the problem many have with it (what makes them cringe) is that they have lived together their entire lives with that brother-sister relationship. While the reason society stopped incestuous relationships was for genetic reasons, in recent times, it's more so the idea of that kind of relationship being

But…but, she's in LOVE!

Totally. When you really think about it, Dexter has made the department look REALLY bad. Every time a major case breaks, the killer always gets away (as far as they are concerned, as you pointed out).
