@ Kalinda's accent - LOL. I loved how that got wworked into her encounter with the British rocker dude, though.

Arghh…
Delany so deserves something better. Upon seeing the promos I was, as kids in here like to say, cautiously optimistic, but this review isn't helping. She was singularly the best thing about post-Season 1 Desperate Housewives (OK, maybe her and MacLachlan), until Mark Cherry completely messed it up with the…

Agreed on the Bloods, that seemed like a real throwback to S1-4 parents. Too bad, really, because Chris Addison is one of the funniest comedians in the UK. And the unfortunate anti-climax of the wedding was being telegraphed in from afar. Still, S5 is the best one so far in my books. It also seems that its target…

Winnipeg!
So that's what those inane accents were supposed to be. I've tuned in mid-way through the sketch, and kept on wondering what on earth they are supposed to sound like. Now I know: Winnipeg accents sounds like Minnesota-cum-generic-Scandinavian, or, if you're a female, that with a good measure of German thrown…

Quebecois, not French.

I'll admit to having watched this until very recently. I think, unlike most, I skipped some of S2 (they really didn't know where the Alfre Woodard subplot was going); started again on S3 (I am a fan of Kyle MacLachlan, and this was his best work since Twin Peaks, which, of course, isn't saying much). Dana Delany was…

I'll admit to…
.. watching Criminal Minds every time now and then (mostly because Matthew Gray Gubler is easy on the eyes), but this was just dire. F.

Let me derail discussion if I may…
… any opinions on S5 of the UK Skins? I thought it was one of the best (no Mad Twatter, PhD/Mackenzie Crook type of a character, and even the nonsense in Roundview College has been toned down). Some others see it as turning into a Degrassi with accents, however. It seems that not…

"a proud company that includes Benji and the 1998 remake of Mighty Joe Young. "

That's one comprehensive post. I wonder if liking or disliking S3 largely depends on liking or disliking Jack O'Connell's and/or Cook, as it seems he's one of the major factors why S3 didn't work for you. MacKenzie Crook's character is pretty awful, but not that different from Mad Twatter, PhD in S1.

I wouldn't call S1 "that good," but it definitely had its highs (Nicholas Hoult, or pretty much every comic actor in the UK as somebody's parent), and its lows (e.g. the drug dealer plotline). Unlike some here, I liked S1 more as it went into the season, (e.g. the Effy episode). I really disliked S2, probably more…

who or whom?
"whom Morgan says has earned a "lifetime ban." - Isn't heather Mills an implied object, rather than subject, in this clause? Just sayin'…

You're right about Sex and the Church and the inferior version of Strangers… I wouldn't agree with your judgement of the title track (I think it's one of his best songs of the 90s), even though the second version with Kravitz is redundant. The instrumentals and the other three songs with lyrics are pretty good too.

Let's do some advanced math here.

I see reality as a bunch of outtakes from Heathen, which, I'll agree with Melancholic Rodeo Clown, was half good, half not-so. I think it's telling that a true highlight on Heathen is Slow Burn, a kind of a poor relation to Heroes (the song). Meanwhile, the title track from reality is bowie truly at his songwriting…

addenda
Overall, a good db primer. As a former hardcore Bowie fan, I'd like to add/amend a couple points:

Is it me or are the shades of Malcolm Tucker/Peter Capaldi in Eli Gold becoming more and more prominent?

Michael's and Patty's storyline wrapped up very nicely paralleling Joe's and Marilyn's. Frobisher's storyline definitely padded the season, and the retribution didn't really make up for the big bag of crazy it provided throughout the season. I think it was overall a very satisfying finale (much more so than S2), and I…

and what's with the creepy voice?
