Yeah, I really can't think of a show that wrote off such a major character (Below Beecher, who to me is the closest thing to a clear lead character on Oz, Said was a long with O'Reilly and McManus one of THE most core, top tier, characters on the show) with what basically amount to just shrugging off their whole…

Yeah, his death really should have come from Schillinger or something like that. I get that they had to write him out so Walker could go do a bad movie he wanted to do but there's so many better ways they could have achieved it. It didn't help that they didn't explore the fall out of his death very well, they just…

Were they what you'd call… good movies?

For me after that was definitely the point where things fell apart.

Not a particularly interesting one and I think when the show was on it's last legs (5 episodes left) the last thing we needed was more characters. No wonder the finale was a clusterfuck.

I'm not so hot on the idea of an assistant director jumping to the big chair. The AD is in charge of scheduling and such primarily.

Oz:
Eamonn Walker as Kareem Said gets the "shot by some random dude with no build up" treatment because Walker wanted to leave to do a movie (2003's forgettable "Tears of the Sun"). At least The Good Wife had the decency to introduce the killer beforehand make it seem like a logical storyline with buildup.

Absolutely, and while I feel like the show handled dramatic moments well I felt like when it transitioned to Archie Bunker's Place and introduced stuff like Mike and Gloria getting a divorce and Edith dying it pretty much took away all the magic of the original show.

All In The Family is the other great example I can think of besides Scrubs where they pissed away a perfect finale for basically crap. It was arguably worse than Scrubs since we got the awful Archie Bunker's Place which gradually chipped away at everything great about All In The Family. The only real consolation was…

It is a bit odd to have one of your title characters (I know they shortened the title to just Adventure Time but dammit he's still mentioned in the damn song! JAKE THE DOG and Finn the goddamn Human!) pretty marginalized.on a regular basis. Why so many episodes that focus so centrally on Finn and not as many (that I…

That's the plot for Season 8, my friend.

Definitely deserves a best guest actor nomination. Anybody that can actually carve out an emotionally effective performance on THIS show deserves some kind of award.

Cool. I was wondering where I could find one of the cast members of one of the greatest shows of all time slumming it this fall.

When are they just finally gonna cave and make this it's own network?

Actually it was that Lost's aired on Sunday and 24's aired on Monday. You're right about the hype though. Probably because people were just ready to get rid of 24 while folks still, for all their grievances, actively cared about Lost.

Also worth noting that L&O was never really as good after Briscoe left and definitely after Jesse L. Martin left.

I think he just hangs with them. Also aren't they like some sort of Teacher/Student alliance now or something?

Should he flail them about haphazardly like Matt Smith? I've never really noticed anything odd about how he holds his arms.

Thanks Erik Adams. I had a hard time trying to read your mind up there.

Boardwalk Empire and Justified. Both great shows, both underestimated and both not watched by anybody I know.
