Or Dollhouse. And really, the death in the first season of Buffy wasn't all that ground breaking or upsetting.

Because Buffy certainly never aired at 8.

So so true. While I do enjoy Buffy's first season, there's a great deal that, had it aired today, I believe people would denounce as crap. Angel too.

I thought most, if not nearly all television did this? Additionally, surely the episode should be considered on its own merits, rather than in terms of the behind the scenes minutiae that contributed to its construction?

I agree with what you're saying about the choreography, but I don't think the direction so far has allowed us to see the choreography at its best. That or the editing struggles to maintain coherence at times.

" the show's abject disregard for continuity" Que? I had difficulty unpacking what you mean here.

Umm, it was? Teti's paragraph.

Is it just me, or is the editing for this show kind of poor? There were a number of fight sequences this episode that failed to give much of a coherent sense of space — something I'd normally put down to the director, but I felt this last week as well — and several different planes of action bled into each other, e.g.…

I remember some speculation that the Home Office was run by an aged, embittered Wendy Darling who'd been strongly affected by her encounter with the Pan Shadow in the flashbacks we saw at the end of the last season. Other than having to come up with some bollocks as to how Wendy had survived the last century, I think…

Wasn't she, at one point, have some strain of vaguely undefined autism? Like nothing was ever said outloud, but it was clearly in Shahi's performance.

Behind the lab. Rising Tide's Skye.

DESTROY GRETCHEN SCHWARTZ! DESTROY HER!

Dodee was one of the few characters on the show I legitimately liked. Shame they clearly struggled to give the character decent plots.

Sure, but it's the only good scene with that crew in it (and happens long, long after the show had left those characters behind). Season 4's art school plot lines are often kind of not my thing.

Great film. The daughter's run into the cheesewire is hilarious and shocking ("they'll never expect you to have a running start!"), as is the increasing exhaustion of the various killers.

SLIGHT SPOILERS, SPECIFICALLY CONCERNING

I'm a bit worried that they're making Angie slightly creepy (and she is slightly creepy now) and that'll somehow make her pairing with Junior kind of acceptable. It's fucked up, and I should like that kind of thing, but I just don't think that belonged in the character's DNA from Day 1. I'm questioning the…

I reckon the horror often suffered due to budgetary restraints. The show could be quite fucking scary (Season 2's hyperbaric chamber taking the cake) when it could afford it, but it often couldn't.

I love that they flipped the class dynamics slightly with the two casts. George is clearly (well, clearly to my eyes) middle class, and Annie is completely dispossessed, but they're rendered effectively working class due to twists of fate, and that brings them into Mitchell's orbit (and danger to their door).
