Yeah, this was really a surprisingly decent show.  I wonder if it would have done any better given a clean summer run rather than going up against a series finale of some sort most weeks.

Fuck this band and that awful song that was in one out of five commercials.

Almost liked for hinting at excellent Mr. Show quote.

That was my thought too.  I bet it was, or at least was supposed to be, if they couldn't get the same actor.

Loved the final montage as the best Wire homage all season.

Mad Men, multiple times.

If that game did not have the Zelda brand it would have been lost by time and loved by no one, along with a slew of other fairly shitty games that look worse and worse with each generation.

Nah. I got quite a few more laughs out of that show than Extract.  I still think the idea of doing a KotH style show while skewering more liberal culture was a really solid idea.  ABC didn't really give them a great chance, and I don't think they knew how to handle an animated show.  I think if Fox gave it a chance it

The time travel stuff was all great.  Sawyer and Juliet in the '70s were fantastic.

Other than season one, which builds the intensity early with the cops assailing the towers in the 2nd episode, the other seasons are more of a slow burn than any show I can think of.  Season two and three need a fair amount of time to get going, but the last few hours are amazingly intense.  S2 is not my favorite, but

Liked, but also sad that this was not the firstie.

How dare you leave out Jane!  She would at least show some skin now and then.

Conrad is the big bad.  He's not going anywhere this year.  I think setting up a very uneasy Emily/Victoria alliance against him in S2 is way more likely.
