The Washington Post just made a post comparing the two shows (and the AvClub did the same thing like three years ago).

Hiei remains one of my favorite characters, although possibly because he is burned into my young brain as one of the first compelling anti-heroes I had ever seen.

I assumed that Hannibal was still feeling the effects of the tranquilizer and that was Mads' attempt to put that into the voice.

Still in shock, but I keep on thinking about that rule of no major drama making it past five seasons without killing off a main character.

At the end of the fifth episode Raylan confesses his part in the execution of Nicky Augustine (at the end of the fourth season) to Art. Art, seemingly out of misplaced loyalty, does not seem willing to give Raylan up to the proper authorities but is still angry that Raylan disobeyed his order at the end of the fourth…

I understand this, but the show has pointed it out before. My in-credulousness isn't at the ethical issues but the change in procedure for the show.

I thought the subtext was that the mean stewardess didn't actually do it, but that Robyn had come up with some flimsy evidence that cast some doubt on whether the two main suspects actually transported the drugs. The evidence was so circumstantial that Alicia got a big scolding from Victor Garber for even approaching…

This episode was a little bit of the same Will vs. Alicia, but it had lots of really amusing small details. Those two musicologists fighting in the middle of the courtroom, the random cuts to Lillard for his enthusiastic commentary, Peter Bogdanovich. Maybe this was our light amusing episode after last episode's…

Yes. 'Telling' would've been Cary or another character saying "Wow Alicia, you've sure gotten more brusque and vengeful lately." This was a very blunt and a little overdone 'showing,' but I still think it was 'showing.'

When Will acts for an asshole for a couple of episodes after being betrayed I'm willing to believe it's because he's wounded. The longer it goes though the more it looks like he's acting like an asshole simply because he's an asshole. And I like Will, so he should really start healing now.

I love Lillard's line that went something like "I don't understand a word of what you guys are saying, but this is awesome." A little meta joke about the show's viewers and how the show can jump down obscure confusing legal rabbit holes?

You stopped at "For sale, baby"? That's one hell of a cliffhanger.

This was my exact experience. Actually it was people here saying that season 7 had really stepped up that got me back into it, just in time to watch the last few episodes live.

Yay for 30 Rock. A final season that is completely emotionally satisfying and generally up to quality is a rare thing.

Actually I believe that whole plotline could be great if it wasn't in FNL. The whole "we actually got away with it and no one's ever going to find out but what about my soul" is an awesome question and take on a murder plotline and Plemons played it well. But it was not a plotline that made sense in FNL.

What? People make fun of that scene? I thought everyone says it because we mask our pain of Wallace's death by making jabs at one of the best and most memorable scenes of the first season?

I think they're obviously referring to the season 5 match-up between the Lions and the Panthers, although I'm not sure why? The climactic match-up happened in season 4 and that's the last we see of JD McCoy.

Lots of AV Clubbers had the same theory going while the show was going too IIRC. There's just something about a character who's always nice that gets people suspicious I guess.

The creators of MtG had no idea how big their game would eventually become, and, as a result, did not put much effort into balance. The Lotus is often considered their biggest mistake, a card that is free to play and provides a temporary boost in resources. A card some years later, Lotus Petal, was made to be a…

Did anyone else instantly test this out?
