I'm re-watching the first season at the moment (it's a series that really improves with rewatch, when you know the rhythms of the dialogue and who everyone is), and my God you're an evil son of a bitch.

On the day I listened to this, the sky was crystal blue…just like 9/11.
People never used to downvote comments, but that was another America.
That photo above gives me comfort, because it shows Mikkelsen genuinely smiling (I've not been able to find one before now), and Todd suggested he told a joke during the panel. I just needed a bit of extra reassurance that he isn't actually a monster.
Yep, that's why I stopped watching the show earlier this season, and just read the reviews. The sweetness has become irritating to me, and I find Leslie completely infuriating at this point. No one will call her out on the fact that she isn't really that great of a person.
I did put a request in…but I put in The Core, and it seems they were streets ahead of me on that one. Still, it was cool to see them do it, and no one wants to listen to me talk. I had remembered that that movie was extremely stupid, but I'd forgotten just how stupid. Nine thousand degrees
I knew I should have worn shorts today!
Because the plot and character complications of BSG weren't resolved organically through character, but via deus ex machina, and in particular, a God that appeared to be identified quite closely with the Christian conception of God. Pretty lame really.
I loved it at the time, but I feel like it kind of came from nowhere. It would've meant more if we'd seen some of the moments that led him to that conclusion.
I like that song. Reminds me of elephants.
That's all true, and yet it feels like the finale itself forgets those things in order to get through its necessary business, making it all feel much more like 'Walt wins'.
Haven't seen The Shield finale yet. Finished S6 today, will go into S7 soon.
BB's finale has fallen so far in my estimation the more I get away from it. Yes, you can read it as giving Walt nothing, but I think the way it is executed makes it come across as overlooking everyone else's suffering in favour of giving him his happy ending, which I don't think he deserves at all.
Yeah this decision makes me so freaking happy. I mean, I probably liked the final season of BB slightly more than Enlightened, but I'm just glad to see something else celebrated, to turn people's attention to something different and more beautiful.
I think this week, Homeland should just reveal that the Iranian government is run by aliens, and become an intergalactic space opera (that still occasionally cuts to Dana and her boy troubles on Earth). Because at this point, why not?
This, so much this. Plot is overrated y'all.
MoS is much less plotty than Homeland, so as long as it just keeps doing what it does, I think it will remain solid.
If Brody is still alive AND Carrie is still in love with him in 4 episodes time, there is no hope for Homeland.
I just wanted to say, I recently started catching up on this show because of all the praise it gets here. I watched the five S1 episodes recommended by Will Harris in the TV Club 10, and am now 6 into S2, and finding it very charming and sweet. All the high grades it's still getting certainly aren't discouraging me…
There wasn't an episode, but in the game Simpsons Hit & Run (basically Grand Theft Auto but with Springfield), Frink's flying motorcycle was the last vehicle you could unlock.
