I also really liked:

"They really should have a better system for this."

Holy shit. That was one of the most exhilarating, intense, and downright awesome things I have ever seen on television. Those last 10 minutes were fucking insane—I was on the edge of my seat the whole time—and what's even more impressive is that it was all shot so brilliantly in that tracking shot, without any

Holy shit, that True Detective episode.

Miller is a genius, I agree. Pretty much every time I see him, it's always some really insightful analysis of something.

If not for episodes like "How Your Mother Met Me", I would've stopped a while ago.

And if he (or she) stopped midway through season 4, then the perfection that is Etta Bishop will have never been introduced! I loved Etta.

Aw, you should keep going with Fringe. What didn't you like about it?

House's Head/Wilson's Heart were easily House's last really great episodes produced and some of the best of the series. That finale was absolutely brilliant, but the series went downhill from there; it had its moments, but it never reached the level of its earlier seasons. I stuck through with it, though, and it was

Thank you. The polar bears picture is also very, very nice, as I'm sure we can all agree.

Yeah, and they handled the Nyssa-Sara relationship really well. It's the kind of plot that could've felt manipulative, contrived, cheesy, etc., but Nyssa's (and Sara's, for that matter) motivations felt genuine to me. I'm impressed with the way they brought in this new person, raised the emotional—granted, there were

If you want another network show that can pull off the 22-episode seasons, I'd recommend Person of Interest. Both Arrow and POI seem to be able to churn out mini action movies every week.

"She's been doing this for an hour."

Everyone should check out Spartacus. You get Katrina Law AND Manu Bennett, and they're both fantastic there as well.

Yep, agreed. The Felicity-Oliver relationship is really strong, and I like how she goes to him and tells it straight; that's how it should be. No need to draw it out, like you said.

I'm happy Sara didn't die, because that means I can still hope to get a "Dueling Salmon Ladders" scene in the future.

"So at this point I'm starting to get annoyed by how sarcastic and flippant the reviews have been lately…I guess I just expect a little more from the A.V. Club. The least they could do is actually assign the show to a reviewer who seems to give a shit about watching it. If you guys can devote a thought provoking
