Yeah, that was season four. I fail to see why that season was so initially acclaimed. At least this season has been deservedly divisive.

The first act was pretty bad, peaking in ridiculousness with Pete's car accident. After that there were a few great individual scenes, which is a fair summation of the season: a couple of nice moments with a lot of awkward dawdling surrounding them and without any real momentum. I really expected this season to be……

Season two is one of my favorite seasons of any broadcast drama post 2000. I'll give it that. 

I'm with you when it comes to The Americans. It's a good domestic drama, but its thrills are cheesy and cliche. Not quite mediocre, but I just don't see its supposed greatness. It's well executed decent-ness.

I think overall Person of Interest had a better season, but unless NBC toys around with it I expect Hannibal to become broadcast TV's best drama. And this was the best episode of any broadcast drama this season.

Yeah, that snowwoman definitely has a 90's Bjork vibe (The quirky facial expression, looks vaguely semi-Asian, the long dark hair with bangs). I don't even think about a swan dress when I think about her.

ugh.

You might be going for sarcasm, but screw it. I feel like ranting.

Neither version of him intrigues me. Both versions of him are whiny and off-putting. I just feel these are the show's final 20 episodes. Shouldn't me be narrowing the show's focus and getting down to the nitty-gritty?

I'm looking for great character moments, confrontations, revelations. These are things the show had no problem delivering in the past. I'm one of those people who liked season five (despite its many flaws), but this season has gone no where. It's not about plot. It's about the show treading water. This season hasn't…

Actually it has, at least in the first three seasons. I just don't give a damn about Ted. What about Peggy and Joan? Where are they? And the Pete-Bob thing is something that just popped up last week. Now it's supposed to have some power? I'm just not getting this season as a whole. It's tried way too hard to not be…

It's kinda frustrating how this show is refusing to go for the jugular. All the double talk and subtext and wasted scenes- it's just annoying at this point in the series and at this point in the season. This was a good episode. But I don't care enough about Ted and Don's friction. I only care about Bob as far as how…

Though not a classic, I do think this was better than the gist of A- and B+ episodes this season and was especially better than the season's only supposedly A episode. It was effectively unsettling. When Mad Men tries to show how the counterculture contradicts Madison Avenue it usually feels cliche and cheesy, and…

I think most people know this by now. But the perception was that there was more freedom and risk taking in single cameras (and there was and still is), so it's just the avenue producers started to go down. Arrested Development and The Office (both versions) felt so new and refreshing and free of restraints, and…

'Red Light' is one of the season's best. 'Road Trip', though I used to adore it, hasn't held up for me with repeated viewings. It is cute however. 

The thing is the good and ambitious TV comedy writers have more freedom with the single camera format and thus it's where the best sitcoms are. There haven't been a high quality multi-camera/laugh track sitcom in over a decade. Even TBBT at its best isn't a great example of the form at its peak. I would love for to…

It's a bag of gold and poop. The bag is worth having 'cause there's, you know, gold inside. But all the crap you have to wade through is pretty annoying.

First episode of the season I enjoyed thoroughly. There wasn't a subplot that didn't fit or a couple of scenes so awkward in their execution that they took me out of the episode. It wasn't great, but compared to what came before it felt like a miracle. It felt like real Mad Men: sexy, soapy, moody, clever, funny.

nah. Both are flawed, Traffic even more so. But it is more ambitious. OOS has a few too many cute moments. Both were one of my favorite movies of their respective years. Still, neither is truly great.

I somewhat agree. He hasn't made a full on masterpiece but he has come close: The Limey, Traffic, King of the Hill. He's also made a good deal of solid movies that have broad appeal: Out of Sight, Ocean's Eleven, Eric Brockovich. I don't consider him a master like some. And he does have more than a few clunkers on his…
