I for one really hope you'll keep them up. It's nice to revisit the show (even though I did that myself a few weeks ago) and I really like your perspective and analysis. I'd say yours are the only reviews worth reading now TvW has left (after filtering out shows I don't watch but still…)

He does say that he will never tell anyone the results of the test for Ellen. As for Tigh and Tyrol, not sure but after googling it seems that there were points when it would have made sense for him to have said something and didn't.

What else would they do? It's part of what's so depressing, not funny.

As messy as the fourth season is, and I really do dislike the big twist half way through, I absolutely love the effect it has on Dualla. The show got so dark in those few episodes. Fantastic. If only it wasn't so cheesy. I think the cylon copy thing got out of hand and the show could have been better with lots of

I thought that BSG did know when it was going to end, it just had network meddling in the third season which was why there were so many disconnected episodes that were pretty rubbish. Then the fact that the writers didn't know where they were going hit in the fourth season so it didn't matter they knew when they were

But Boardwalk just finished its best (very, very, oh so very good) season! It's building steam, not losing it! By the sounds of it most of the history is yet to come, Capone hasn't even risen to power yet!

If they are scrapping the show to start a spin off that can be free of Nucky and the burden of staying focused on Atlantic City (the show is called Boardwalk Empire after all) then I will be fully supportive. I think that Nucky's story is getting towards the end of its run now and despite being an ensemble, the show

Yup, one of the best since Dexter and Game of Thrones.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo. No way I'm going to be able to stand putting up with his face for two hours…

Eh, memories of the past lives. I see it like the classic sci fi trope where you build up enough of an idea of someone that you could bring back some (Avatar..?) of them and have them act similarly to the original. Raava lived with all the previous Avatars, she would know what they would think in a situation and all

Not through it. He obviously didn't pass through until it was opened. There is a connection between spiritual places and ability to pass through to the spirit world. For ease of explanation, I don't see why Unalaq couldn't have meditated in the Spirit portal woods, emerged in the spirit world at the Tree of Time and

The spirits talk to each other, how are they doing that without any bodies at all? The same way that humans are doing it.

Berr, he has made it his mission to learn about the spirit world. he learns he can cross over in areas that are strongly spiritual and finds the forest where the spirit portal is. He crosses over and meets Vaatu. How is that a stretch?

Disagree. Raava was attached to Korra's oversoul and was keeping the memories of all the Oversoul's lives. They were separated and Raava destroyed, the memories with her. Just because she regenerates doesn't mean the memories should be.

I definitely saw the connection to the cosmic chakra or whatever in what Tenzin was saying. He makes sense to me that if Korra is throwing off the shackles of being the Avatar that it might unlock the seventh chakra. Why it then has a different effect than it did with Aang I don't know (read: it is stupid). I did like

I agree with most of what you have said, but definitely not this: isn't it all to do with your chi? The energy that flows through your body that you can direct and allow to flow out to control an element? You need a body to have chi, not just the spirit upgrade or whatever that gives you bending. You can have chi

I suppose you're right, it isn't like McNulty was a good guy after all. You did have Bunk, Lester and Bunny to fall back on though, and they all were.

Which novel?

No. Brody was fantastic in season 1 when we didn't know his allegiance, then his motivation, then whether he would actually do what he intended. He should have concluded his arc then.
Season 2 should never have happened. Estes should have been sacked for being a twat, Saul brought in as acting director and season 3

Eh, it was plenty obvious enough. If they wanted it subtle they wouldn't have included that line.
