I don't get it… I tried watching this show on Netflix recently and, as far as I can see, it's basically just another show about a drug-dealing anti-hero…

Let me know when the era of Chuck Lorre sitcoms goes away - maybe I'll think about getting cable again then.

Has anyone ever tried to watch these shows at normal times of the night? "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" is on netflix and so I tried it recently. I remember thinking that the show was pretty fun when I would stumble across it at midnight… and it really isn't very good when watched at 8pm on streaming. I have a suspicion…

Arex - you have a point, but it's still part and parcel of being a human being to try to do something that is right as many times as it takes to get it right. And I just find it kinda nice to see that sliver of hope in a show like B5.

I mean, I like the acting and the writing seems well done. I am just not into the whole genre of "Drug maker as hero" thing and never have been…

Well, also, Jurasik can actually sell that type of scenery chewing. It's just that it strikes me as a less than ambassadorial thing to do is all.

That's my take… I think that the delivery hurts it to the point where I literally can feel the cheesiness of the line. I think part of it was Mira Furlans delivery - she's very good at delivering the longer monologues in the show but, honestly, she was never quite as good at letting loose with quicker stuff. It was…

Plus, looking at the history of the real world, the "League of nations" wasn't a huge success but it was just good enough to use to create the UN - and if the UN fails, we'll probably try again.

Possibly, but at the same time… "Babylon 2" doesn't have the same ring to it for a name of a TV show…

I actually always rather liked this episode, but there was one scene that always hit me as just bad writing. It was when Delenn felt the need to ask Sheridan why humans felt the need to state the obvious… I get that it was a joke and was kind of a meta commentary on the need to spout exposition, but it always felt out…

Meh… "Bewitched" was able to run on that gag for years too…

I feel the same way about some of the stuff I did as a kid… Looking back I know my parents were trying their best to keep up with me because, well kids change. And, honestly, my parents weren't able to keep up with where I was going.

Not once. Like I said earlier - I do have that reaction to something like the Van Wilder scene since that evokes a certain sense of horror in me. But when it comes to The Office, I might feel bad for the characters and everything, but I never physically recoil in horror or have to walk away from the screen…

I can explain the difference - to me, "Cringe Humor" would be the eclair eating scene in "Van Wilder". That induces me to recoil from the screen in horror while still laughing. "The Office" has nothing that does that to me.

You see, I just don't have the necessary physical response to qualify that as "Cringing"… I can mentally say "Gee, that is kinda sad and funny at the same time" but for me to "Cringe" I envision a physical reaction to something. And I certainly have never had that physical reaction watching "The Office" or any other…

You know, I never got the phrase "Cringe Humor"… I see nothing that makes me cringe in the humor of this show. I cringe when I see a spider near me or when I watch a horror movie and a zombie munches down… I do not cringe at jokes…

I just figured out how this show could end in a possibly unexpected way : Dexter realizes that Zach could become a "Dark Defender" and, in the last episode, achieves creating a second version of himself - an act that he then vows to repeat across the country…. With a quick fast forward of a couple years when there is…

You know how you fix a line of comics that isn't working? You make them work. You get writers and artists that like the character to work on them and you tell them "Go to it!" and stand back and watch all the gonzo stuff that goes on. You turn them loose in the attic of a 70 year history.

Regarding the Blues Brothers… for a group that was basically cobbled together from two actors and a TV backup band, it was okay. I don't know if I'd actually buy their stuff to listen to willingly, but it did make for some nice performances in the movie version…

The first season of Torchwood is crap. I have yet to watch it all the way through. The second season is a huge step up. The third is even better… and then the last season was not very good. So for roughly half the show it's quite good, 1/4 is average and the first season is unwatchable.
