See, for me, most of the "bleh" stuff from Season 3 was in the early part of the season, which aired back in 2014. It was obvious they had a lot of pieces to move around before they could set up the big story arc they wanted to tell, and while that was going on the episodic plots really suffered.

Octavia gets a horse, Jasper gets a jeep, and Clarke gets some red hair dye and a lesbian lover.

I thought The 100 was a great show even back in Season 1 (even the pilot episode, while not super, is still decent enough). But as Season 2 went along, it just kept improving on itself, until, near the end of the season, I found myself wanting to rewatch an episode almost as soon as I finished it the first time.…

Plus, it led to the episode "Spacewalker", which might have the biggest emotional gut punch in the series (and that's saying something).

See, I could never make one of these lists, because a good 50% of the TV I watch is stuff that aired at least a year ago (often more). Trying to keep up with every show you like as it airs just sounds exhausting.

Well, that is just plain inaccurate. The n-word and the f-word are very much NOT heard on broadcast TV.

I'm really not sure what you're talking about. I've been trying to think of a racial or homophobic slur that you can hear on broadcast TV, and all I can come up with is something like "fairy", where whether it's a slur depends on context.

What programs are you watching where racial/homophobic slurs are treated as no problem?

"This concept of 'wuv' confuses and infuriates us!"

I thought this episode was terrific.

Reminds me of Homer's reaction to the Dean in "Homer Goes to College": he so badly wants to be the rebel against an unjust authority, he's completely oblivious to the fact that the authority figure is actually completely reasonable.

Though the crying Indian gag wasn't quite as good as the one from Friends:

Upvoted for use of the word "Salvabros". Thank you for that.

Why didn't Valerie go along on this Kill Julian plan? Of the characters who want Julian dead, she's the one with magical powers; she could have just turned invisible, broken Julian's neck by waving her hand at him, and they'd have been able to finish him right quick.

"Anyway, the race between Ford and Daniel Craig for Least Fuck-Giving Actor In A Franchise Property is currently a tie."

I disliked both Roslin and Adama. Well, dislike is maybe a strong word. It's just Roslin was so sedate, and Adama so stoic, that I had a hard time connecting to either of them.

I actually like Ellen. She's not a good person, but she's a not-good person in a fun way, which is something Battlestar Galactica can definitely use.

With how the season so far has been focusing on Oliver being in a much lighter place than before, I'm wondering if, as the season goes on, the twist will be that he'll go to the opposite extreme, and we'll get Oliver kidnapping Damien's family to use against him.

I loved how Malcolm and Damien had almost the exact same catching-an-exploding-arrow exchange that Oliver and Malcolm had at the end of Season 1.

Plus, technically, a C+ does still count as above average.
