When watching it as it aired, I thought 4 was far and away the best. I rewatched it all for the first time after these reviews started, though, and I think I now place it below 1, 3, and 5. As much as it has two of the high points of the series in The Constant & The Shape Of Things To Come, the rest of the arc didn't

Jenn, Max, Shirin, and Will for me, please.

Yeah, he'd be perfect. Throw in Aaron Paul as Eddie and I think they'd be onto a really good thing.

Really enjoyed this. Mostly because a complex slow burner set in the Arctic is pretty much my ideal TV show premise, but it had an excellent cast & I felt like it played the mystery just right - not overbearing, but enough to get me hooked and theorising.

Girls and Modern Family, but no Frasier or Futurama. Screw your list, AV Club, I'm making my own list. With blackjack. And hookers! In fact, forget the list.

Completely ignoring Frasier seems bizarre to me. The Innkeepers, The Ski Lodge, The Matchmaker, Ham Radio, and Merry Christmas, Mrs Moskowitz are all absolutely perfectly executed farces.

… Are we not doing phrasing anymore?

Person of Interest not on the best show of the year list? Come on!

Sawyer & Charlie both did it for good reasons - Sawyer genuinely thought he'd get hurt/killed. I love how protective Sawyer becomes of Hugo throughout Seasons 3-4. I've always thought that was the reason he jumped off the helicopter, he saw Hurley was feeling guilty about the weight and wanted to protect him.

This year's Baggs is phenomenal. "There's no I in team, but there are five in 'individual brilliance' " is his best quote thus far.

The British version is probably my favourite show of the kast couple of years. Completely unique and ridiculously entertaining.

I think Nick gets stupider every year.

That's probably true, actually. I do remember enjoying at the time. Maybe it's something that loses quite a bit on rewatch, the same way the cages seem more tolerable this time around.

I'm desperate for Person of Interest to snap him up. I don't care who he plays, I just want him to spar with Michael Emerson again.

I think that opening sequence is my favourite thing the show ever did. To resolve a cliffhanger as huge as that in such a satisfying way can't have been easy, but it really worked. And of course, it introduced the show's best character.

Yeah, I've just reached the start of season 3 in my rewatch (I was following along with these, but I just couldn't resist) and all the Others/cages stuff works much better in quick succession. I really enjoy everything with Juliet, at least. It's not Lost at its finest, but it's better than I remember.

Party Favors was the episode that really made me start taking Spartacus seriously as a show. I can't think of anything I've ever seen on TV that compares to its final scene, where I just kept alternating between feeling devastated for Spartacus & Varro but grinning my head off marveling at how well the whole thing had

It was always trending, from the tweets we're sending!

Did you see that ludicrous display last night?
