We're getting a reference to Heroic Origins in episode 4.

I've been here for about a year.

So does this movie have any story ties to the other four movies?

It's not so much that she stopped having a crush on Jeff as much as she admitted that she never really had a crush on Jeff; it was just a fantasy that she liked to play in her head, and she played the same fantasy in her head with Troy and other guys. We learned this in the Dreamatorium episode.

Well that's fair then. The show was clearly building to them as a couple in Seasons 2 and 3, but if that never came across as believable to you, then I completely understand not buying them as a couple in Season 4.

That episode only showed that he was immature, not that he was stupid. And we know that, next to maybe Annie, Troy is the most innocent member of the group, so him not knowing about sex swings, etc. made sense.

IMO, 6 episodes of the season fall in the "okay" range, 5 episodes fall into the "good" range, and the remaining 2 episodes were bad. Definitely watch Cooperative Escapism in Familial Relations, Economics of Marine Biology, and Herstory of Dance. Those are the best of the season (though many will tell you Basic Human…

I thought the Britta/Troy thing was handled just fine until the episode they broke up. There were no issues whatsoever until they decided to break up, and that only happened over the course of one episode.

I disagree on Jeff. I just finished a rewatch of Seasons 3 and 4, and his characterization in those two seasons was exactly the same except that he had a bunch of random outbursts about how much he hated his dad in Season 3 that didn't appear in Season 4. (I was surprised at just how often these outbursts happened in…

Season 3 did a lot of great things, but the characters weren't one of them. On the other hand, Season 4 did a lot of things poorly, but the characters is one of the things it managed to get right.

To be fair, Mixology was one of the show's weaker episodes from a character and humor standpoint, and RHM/RCT weren't all that dark except for the very end of the episode and Troy's timeline, respectively (though I do agree that both of those were done well).

It's more good than bad. The first 2 or 3 episodes are kind of rough, but by the time it hits episode 5, the show feels almost like itself again. Or at the very least, it redeems most of the characters after what Season 3 did to them. Season 4 feels a lot like a watered down Season 1 with a little Season 3 thrown into…

What you say is absolutely true, but to be fair, the laugh-track is a little overbearing in the first three or four episodes of Season 1. Once it gets past that, it definitely improves.

I tend to view them separately anyway. As soon as "Lighthouse" aired and it was revealed that flash-sideways Jack had on-island Jack's body, we knew it had to be a flash-forward of some kind rather than an actual flash-sideways, so that told us that the FST was always meant to be taken as some sort of side story or…

Off-topic, I know, but I felt Lost's Season 6 was better than its Season 5.

The show does continuity and creative story-telling extremely well. The show does emotional and meaningful moments very well, but they come intermittently. (Think less often than Scrubs, but more often than Community if those two shows mean anything to you.) The show is often very funny, but often not funny at all.…

@Kevin McFarland - "My Last Day" was the Season 1 finale. "My Finale" was the Season 8 finale.

I felt like Into the Wild Green Yonder's ending topped it as the perfect way to send off the series. Though I do agree that Meanwhile topped Devil's Hands and Overclockwise, I'm not yet sure whether Meanwhile or WGY has my favorite series send-off sequence. I need to re-watch both, ASAP.

@olive snook - I did think the pocket watches arc had some good potential in regards to Ned's and Chuck's dads, but I didn't like Dwight's character or contribution to the arc. So I only really had partial problems with the arc.

I haven't seen Profit, but you thought Firefly was stronger than Wonderfalls? Even with Serenity included, I can't see it. The simple fact that the Firefly characters were so incompletely realized in comparison to the Wonderfalls characters places Wonderfalls ahead for me even if I ignored premise and plot…
