It’s such a tough call with this show. The Alternate Davids episode was possibly the best episode of the series, and yet it is questionable whether it added much of anything to the show other than that David’s life could have gone many different ways, some good some bad, some evil and with Farouk. Now, there is that…

Agreed. Also are we ever going to get back to Oliver’s plan to stop Farouk. Also, is the only thing Ptolemy going to do now is whisper to david where Farouk’s body is in one scene? It sure seems like these writers have started dropping threads in this shaky narrative.

That’s what my wife and I thought. Although I also proffered that she had a cartoon fat belly from eating whatever all those skeletons around them were. It wouldn’t have been the only cartoon thing in the ep—the big hole stopper, Lenny pulling a large rifle out of a hand bag...

I think Ptomely (spelling whatever) told david through a vermillion (eh) bot from within the matrix about 3 eps ago. it happened in the river boat cafe and as usual with this show kind of hard to follow with other trippy stuff going on as it happened.

Agreed. I still like it for the visuals and the music, but at some point you have to have some actual plot and action or else you’re just staring at a very well done screen saver / artsy music video thing for an hour a week.

Agree with everything, but I’d go as far as to say 30-50% leaner. There were almost entire episodes this season that in hindsight added really nothing to the story and really barely anything to the characters, and even when they did, it didn’t need the whole episode to do it.

I think they’re just now writing/filming. I wouldn’t expect any new eps before this years Turkey Day.

Maybe there’s some post-Voyager singularity that we don’t know about yet. It might be called the ‘no new ideas singularity’ or possibly ‘lack of imagination singularity’.

Yeah, how weird, like when people expect that each episode of a season of a show generally happens a few days to weeks after the last, and then the next season happens the following year or so from the last. It really is weird that people would expect a story or group of stories to continue forward in time as they…

*thumbs up*

My wife and I actually stopped watching the show after this episode. I don’t think we even really discussed it. We both just were like, no, we’re done with this show.

Yes, this.

Accept he was completing a catch and already previously had obtained full posession of the ball.

I have no idea what the written sub-sectioned rules minutiae are, but that sounds pretty reasonable to me. The other possibility is if an opposing player has taken full control of the ball—i.e. ripping it out of the guys hands—and now has full possession of it.

I hadn’t heard that about less padding. An insteresting idea that makes sense its odd way. Thanks for sharing.

In this case it’s pretty forgivable considering the title all but outright states that the hit on Aaron Rogers should have been illegal, should have been banned, should have been stopped. So, even people fully reading the article are trying to figure out where and how the author is justifying this main point of the…

Well put, deserves more stars.

No offense to this story’s author, but I kind of just skipped the article and read along with the comic strip. I’m fairly certain I’ve read this in the past, it’s very good. It doesn’t really need the deconstruction, as with any good story, it stands on its own.

Yeah, but as long as the actally do ‘seek out new life and new civilizations’ as they tell the tired dick jokes, they are still one up and pretty much any other ‘serious’ sci fi show that is out there currently.

I agree and hope this gets discussed more--it’s not the jokes themselves, but the types of jokes. I’m not saying there couldn’t ever be a dick joke in there, but it should fit the situations and be used sparingly. I actually think that many of the non-slapstick jokes have worked quite well and like how they…
