Well, we'll never know what The Walking Dead would look like today if it was still in Darabont's hands. I'm not saying it would have ended up being a masterpiece. But I like to imagine something a little more thought-provoking, less trite and repetitive. The problem is AMC keeps making them do 16 episodes a season…

I recently thought about finally taking this one up. I've had it stored up for an eternity now. I then decided to go with Gilmore Girls, instead. Make of that what you will.

It's really strange that a show that has always had a reputation for being very violent, dark and even uncomfortable that the moment it really sold itself to me was when they did that montage to All My Little Words from The Magnetic Fields at the end of episode four.

Glee had me when they managed to cover my favorite song of all time (Don't Stop Believing) and make me absolutely adore it for that. It's still astonishing to me how quickly this show turned into a weekly hate-watch. For six - fucking - seasons.

One of the best pilots I can think of is probably Community's. You could feel the show was going to be something really special.

The first season was good and the second one the best from the show's run. Season three was a major step-down - just long, boring stretches that took the story nowhere - from which it never recovered.

Yes. These so-called critics who think its their right to bash a tv show they don't like. #FakeReviews

The Walking Dead has many, many problems. One of the biggest, though - as you laid out - is the terrible dialogue. Which is always at its absolute worst when any random charactor has to give the obligatory survival speech that is needed every other episode, apparently. The lack of skill in the writer's room when it…

Every time they go onto a break I tell myself that mybe I won't be coming back. And every time I fail to keep that promise. I managed to quit the terrible spin-off it produced. Why not this show? Maybe - and this is probably in large parts due to my obsessive nature to finish things - seven years in I just want to see…

I can't, for the life of me, figure out what season three was about or what value it added to the narrative, not even in a 'that's the lesson we've learned, kids'-sense. That Noah fucked up his entire family by having an affair with another woman? No shit. We had to have Noah go mental and bore ourselves through an…

Try the final season of True Blood. Or any of the seasons of True Blood from season four onwards, really.

On another note:

Sooooo… you're saying they'll basically cheat their way around the real-time premise?

According to Patrick Stewart they still have dinner together, regularly. Apparently it was a very warm and silly set, with everyone getting along great. Marina Sirtis (who was good friends with Terry Farrell) once visited the DS9-set and, by her own account, was shocked how little joy she felt there. According to her…

The monster from season 1 was a bit of a disappointment. Looks like they're stepping up their game big time.

I'm curious how this show can still be called 24 when it only shows what happens during 12 hours of that day. It's really weird how much that annoys me, considering I'm most definitively never going to watch this.

I did a little more reading into this since then, as well and it seems that they are planning to replace the entire cast every other season by older actors who will be in the age-range the real people were in during the time in which each respective season is set. I like the current cast a lot but considering the…

I like the actor, also. He was on a show called Breaking In (from creator Adam Goldberg) a couple of years ago. I only saw the first season and a bunch of episodes from season two and don't actually recall a whole lot about it. McCauley, though, I remember very well as the on who stood out from the cast because he was…

I'd even go as far as to saying that those two are the best and funniest characters on the show, overall. Not sure how well they'll do when the focus is on them 100% of the time. But at least this is a better idea than that Blackish spin-off they proposed recentls with boring Zoey as the lead. I mean… ZOEY!

The only Middle spin-off I'm interested in is one about Rusty in his new career as a wedding planner.
