I didn't even make it through a season of that. And the same goes for pretty much every other traditional syndication-length show that I can think of in the last decade or more as long as there's episodic content in the structure. I enjoy things about them, usually mainly the overall arc, but it's a really big time

Theoretically, but I'd be hard pressed to name one. I lost steam like twice trying to watch season one of Person of Interest and although I eventually made it to the next season, I got as far as wrapping up the plot from the season one finale and haven't been back in a while. Similarly, Supernatural I've managed to

I don't want a mix, though, and I find it tough to wade through non-arc stuff for the next hit of what I'm actually there for.

I think you're probably in a minority considering how many complaints I've seen about the show's putatively slow pace (complaints I don't understand or agree with, mind).

I can't defend the longer delay between seasons, but I actively prefer 13-or-fewer episode seasons to the bloated slog that's most 22+ episode network TV seasons.

If you haven't watched those, I could not possibly recommend either more strongly. LOVE both shows with a deep and fiery passion.

Killing a bunch of pretty unpleasant soldiers working with Logan, who he doesn't exactly regard as a good person, probably doesn't register as "truly evil" to him.

Even then they don't have the proper lightsaber whooshing noises.

It's one of my favorite Netflix series, and although I have semi-mixed feelings about the Wachowskis on their own, the combination of their visual flair and J. Michael Straczynski's writing is frankly dynamite.

I don't remember either of their names well enough to say. But the Asian guy seems to be on Maeve's side to at least some extent and would easily be able to tell if his partner messed with her - assuming said partner even could. The Asian guy's the nascent coder, after all. As to why he doesn't just report her to

I think that scenario puts Ford in more control of what's happening than would be interesting. I think he's a Machiavellian plotter and self-proclaimed god who thinks he's got everything under his control and it's not actually as controlled as he thinks. And to me, that's a much more interesting plot and

If the personnel regularly rotated, which wouldn't be that unlikely - and Theresa in particular was noted to be the latest in a long series of people in her role - they wouldn't have a chance to notice Bernard's lack of aging.

I don't think anyone else is likely to be a secret host at this point. Here's the thing: we actually have a fairly small cast of ostensibly human characters. Behind the scenes, we have Charlotte, the two techs in the body shop, Elsie, the blond head of security or whatever he is, and the asshole in charge of

I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have been uncommon in the era they're simulating, for what it's worth.

Well, specifically, Dolores isn't naked in her private talks with Bernard. She definitely was in the official examination(s) in the pilot.

I wonder if it was intentional that Pop was so similar to Sugar. The details aren't the same, of course - thug vs pro boxer (but both working with their fists), bartender vs barber (but both dispensing wisdom to their clientele and providing a community gathering spot), etc. But real close, nonetheless.

Yeah, the exposition felt really clunky and way too frequent. I like everyone involved and there's some cool imagery, but man, I hope they get over that fast.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who prefers The Ring to Ringu, or The Departed to Infernal Affairs. It's super rare for an American remake to better the foreign original, but I think those two are exceptions. The Ring in particular was just incredibly unsettling throughout (the first time, at least), to the point

I wouldn't describe it as "methodical", just more curious and childlike than violent rage. "What happens if I pull this out of his neck? Oh, okay." sort of thing.

I was really expecting Kyle to be suspected of murdering his wife, but I guess she planned a little better than it looked like, what with telling her mom about it and all. And the police chief's on the reverend's side, so that probably extends him some protection by association. Still was pulling for that to work out
