*Sighs*

And your friend that is not much older appreciates that!

You continue to be awesome. Good to know.

Yeah, Steve coming back after overstaying his welcome and dragging down season 3 pretty much kills the show for me. Frank not dying just added to the frustration and cemented for me the sense that the show will never outgrow Showtime's shadow, basically.

Yeah, I get you. It's the polar opposite of the largely consistent writing staff of Breaking Bad.

I wasn't referring to Manos. He just does first season development stuff, right? I meant the showrunner, Daniel Cerone, who left after season 2.

I'd say the two characters not dying in season 4 are more than sufficient for shark jumpage. The show needed to grow out of them and it will never reach its full potential if it can't cut them loose.

The original showrunner of Dexter said that he left after season 2 because they were forced to rewrite the season finale.

Mad Men without a question. The Americans is the closest to compete with it.

Her response to Bob Benson's proposal was one of her finest moments, and she had both that episode and A Day's Work.

The AT team makes the weirdest choices with their submissions sometimes. Skipping over season 4 entirely, and submitting Be More when Lemonhope, the season six premiere and Bad Timing were eligible.

The ten minute episodes are aired, counted and submitted individually.

The final season was only five episodes long, which is by the guidelines not long enough to qualify as a season. Same reason for Luther submitting as miniseries.

And the gun shot mixed in when he snaps his arm. Goddamn.

So everyone reprises their roles, right?

I need help reacting to something.

Just watch it right after Casino Royale all as one long movie and it's great.

Feh. Establishing the social unrest right off the bat was the right idea. It had already been brewing enough that it exploded almost immediately after she came. It's not like she immediately ran into Amon or something.

Hmm, that's understandable. Since the probending stuff would be over after And the Winner Is, I had thought that the season a whole would pull off that balancing act fine, but then of course the second half fucks that up further. So it does make sense that the first half doesn't quite hold up on rewatch, it's easier…
