Star Trek TNG

BSG definitely should have ended after the second season. Hell, I'd go so far as to say it should have ended after the Pegasus 2 parter.

I think it survived pretty well. Season 6 is the only really shit season. Seasons 7 and 8 are okay to mediocre.

Twin Peaks' second season is worth it if only for episodes 14 and 29, two of the best episodes of anything to ever air on television. Everything up to episode 16, which resolves the Laura Palmer investigation, is good to excellent.

Sure, that'll stand up in court.

That was possibly the most ridiculous thing in this episode, which is really saying something. It also served absolutely no purpose to the plot and could have been left out entirely.

The episode seems to be invoking the Buffy "people condition themselves not to notice weird things" trope. The problem is that Buffy did that as an act of tongue in cheek lampshade hanging, whereas this episode uses it as an actual explanation.

Perhaps if season 8 had been the last season of the show I could like it a bit more, for the reasons you cite. In the context of the whole show though, it strikes me as being a transitional season between the awesomeness of seasons 3 to 7 and the shittiness of seasons 9+.

Wait, didn't S7 and S8 have the same showrunners?

Pi is exactly three!

Maybe I'm just being dim but I can't see whats funny about the debate sign.

It's strange that Ray Wise hasn't had more of a movie/tv career.

Worlds are colliding!!

"Badly Edited"? I don't remember any of the BOB mirror scenes being unconvincing or massively out of sync. I mean, it's obvious they don't sync up 100%, but given the difficulty of getting two actors to time their movements perfectly I think they're pretty good.

So I watched the couch gag (but not the rest of the episode). I've not seen anyone mention this yet, but doesn't the CG seem like a commentary on the current state and decline of the Simpsons? In fact it seems so obvious to me that I'm surprised that other people didn't note it.

Apparently in one of the corridors in the red room sequence in the finale there would have been a woman in a nightie with her head stuck between two curtains. The idea was that Josie's head was stuck in the door knob and the rest of her, on the "other side" of the knob, was stuck in the lodge. They didn't bring Joan…

While I think that Incubator is fairly mediocre as an episode I really love the design of the young Scorpius makeup. He looks fantastically sickly and misshapen and asymmetrical. I particularly like his sparse tufts of hair and the fact that his chin cleft looks more like an open wound than anything else. Another neat…

And there was much rejoicing.

Frank Welker voices Santa's Little Helper. Along with a gazillion other characters and things. He's got more range than the rangeiest thing in the world. So you're insane.

Just wanted to say for anyone curious that Transformers: Prime is an excellent show, probably the best Transformers series since Beast Wars. Yes, some of the designs are loosely based on the Bay movies but the similarity ends there.
