Watched the show on Netflix, and while it was decent, I didn't like it near as much as the internet does. It never embraced its full wackiness. The two best episodes were the two with Chloe's dad, which also were the craziest. Maybe that was ABC's fault, but the show acted like it was more daring than it actually was.

AKA The Ryan Stiles Special

I figured librarians are precisely CBS's demographic.

Heard very good things, but haven't seen it since it's not on Netflix.

If Yahoo did this because they wanted awareness of their product, it worked. I'd never heard of Yahoo Screen. Now they just need to bring back Firefly, Young Justice and Terriers.

I'm in the middle of S6 and struggled to stay awake during The Doctor's Wife.

Haven't gotten around to a rewatch yet, just want to comment and support the traffic for these reviews

The Good Wife isn't on Netflix, so I haven't watched it.
I watched this episode of Mad Men, but but only casually because I'll binge the show from the beginning before the final episodes start.
Based on the apparent rules of the tournament, I believe this qualifies me to vote on the winner.

Way soap-ier though, especially with how the Niobe drama ends up impacting larger things.

I was 3/4 through Rome before realizing, wait Niobe is Ellaria isn't she? I felt dumb because Niobe was one of like, two ancillary characters I could name.

Bruce quits multiple times in the DCAU FWIW.
And I like that he left Gotham to end the story. Comics which are like soap operas from my limited knowledge. No one can die, retire or be happy permanently because then there's no story left to tell. Nolan wanted to tell a complete story and I don't see anything wrong with

I don't get the hate for TDKR. I think the Modine subplot was a bad idea and its absence could've kept the movie shorter/tighter, plus the Robin "reveal" was done as clunkily as possible, but otherwise it's my favorite of the 3 and it's not close.

Right, which brings up more questions than it answers, now that there's *two* organizations that struggle to keep themselves in check. Are they only kept under control by the other?

I just mean that the season posed a bunch of questions about if *anyone* should have that much power and the answer becomes yes not because of deconstruction of the characters, but because a threat requires them to save the world.

I think they work really well in the good episodes, like I love them in Initiation, and maybe add to the cheesiness of the lesser episodes.

Even it is felt forced, I don't think I've EVER felt worse for a fictional character than Artemis in the scenes after. Absolutely devastating, her crying with his family, then moving on as Tigress.

You beat me to this and echoed exactly what I wrote further down. I was disappointed that they backed out of the big questions they asked. As someone mentioned weeks ago, the rumored "Batman and the regular Leaguers protect the world against the superpowered heroes" storyline would have been much better.
As a "The Dark

I haven't had time to watch it since the first time I ran through the show last summer, but on first watch, I hated that the Cadmus storyline devolved into what so many shows have fallen victim to. Everything with the slow build and Question was fantastic, and the ending to this episode is perfect, but I thought they

It just made no sense to me. I couldn't get into any of the themes of the episode because I was actively rooting for the awful passengers to get thrown out of the plan. I didn't find it realistic it all in how they would actually act.

Who knows, maybe a TV critic who hasn't seen Ozymandias and doesn't think it works as a standalone will judge the final. (Thinking) Nah, you're right.
