OTHER THOUGHTS:

Battlestar Galactica—Season 2, Episodes 5-7
EPISODES COVERED: “The Farm”, “Home Part 1″, “Home Part 2″
ARC 2–Let’s go find Earth!

Battlestar Galactica—EPISODES COVERED: "Scattered", "Valley of Darkness", "Fragged", "Resistance"

That final scene, in which Daniel wakes up, is excellent not only because it brings him back into the fold for the remainder of the season, but also because of how resonant it is coming after an episode of exhaustion and emotional weights on peoples' shoulders: Amantha—obligatory Abigail Spencer praise—still fighting,…

FNL is brilliant when it comes to giving us stories about everything falling apart or about its characters having to push on through tough times—and we certainly do see that throughout "Mud Bowl"—but the best part is that the show is able to turn that around sometimes and give us scenes of pure happiness, of people…

"So, uh, how about Saracen sleeping with the Coach's daughter?"

We need an O'Neill spinoff.

I've loved it so far, but if there's a problem, I think it might be the introduction of Vee. Toussaint’s very fun to watch and she does a great job, but I’m not that interested in watching the race war play out or the way she’s causing certain characters to regress. That’s obviously the writers’ point—that she’s…

I like the season’s focus on the older people in the prison, (Golden Girls’ “nobody gives a shit about old ladies” line is telling) especially considering the show’s exploring themes of past vs. present/future—made clearer by grasshopper vs. ant—and how what you hoped would happen earlier in your life isn’t…

"The Son"—FNL

I'd be up for Friday Night Lights' "The Son". Might not be my favorite, but it's up there. The review's already done, anyway. I wrote it awhile ago.

Exactly, and I feel like season 6 already got to that point with the opening three-episode arc. I heard from a lot of people that season 6 is a few steps down (not sure I agree so far, but then again, not much TV holds up to season 5), but it ain't slowing down, that's for sure.

"Of Mice and Lem" and "Postpartum" is just a stellar one-two punch. Halfway through season 6 right now.

It goes like this:

Friday Night Lights—"Laboring"/"Thanksgiving" (4x12/4x13)
The final two episodes of season 4 of Friday Night Lights work in tandem to tell the stories of people who fall, people who feel the walls closing in around them and the world out to get them, people who go through a hell of a lot, but are able to find something…

Adilyn got naked once, and she's like two weeks old.

Writer 1: We've got a black character!
Writer 2: Yes, but the consistency of her blackness worries me.
Writer 1: Good point.

And they spent all 50 minutes of the first episode without Eric, which makes the show an even bigger waste of time than it already is.

It wouldn't be True Blood without Sookie Stackhouse walking home alone at night.

I don't know, I think the rest of the characters are compelling enough to hold up the story without Aden Young (for a time, at least). Tawney and Amantha are both endlessly fascinating to me, and their scene together in this episode was fantastic. Hell, even Melvin was involved in one of the most emotionally resonant…
