Shallow shmallow. It's not like they put him in his underpants so we *wouldn't* look at him!

It definitely takes three or four episodes to settle in, and the remnants of a subpar CW soap persist beyond that, but it builds very nicely through the first season. I started out grudgingly watching it because I'm hard up for decent sci-fi, but by the end of the season I was genuinely enjoying and looking forward…

Indeed. I was kind of dreading class warfare lady making it to Earth and inserting herself into all the drama down there. But nope, she just crashed and died.

The Raven/Finn/Clarke love triangle was boring almost as soon as it started.

The trial and erroring was pretty tedious early on, but some of it - like watching the camp feel their way through that blood-vomiting disease breakout a few weeks back - was kinda fun, and it seems in general like the writers have figured out that the turf wars and infighting amongst a bunch of children is not the…

I've really enjoyed The 100 so far.

24 and Longmire: the perfect badass double header.

The four hour cut was just a rough assembly. Scorsese has said repeatedly that it was never intended to be his final cut.

When POI first started, with its emphasis on procedural "salvation of the week" stories, I described it to friends, semi-dismissively, as a redo of Touched by an Angel, only with a computer playing God. It's now one of my favorite shows, but I still think that description is kind of apt.

A perfect example of why FNL is so great, and why it's so hard to get people to watch it - if you just describe the Matt/Shelby/Lorraine stuff, it sounds like a typical soapy storyline, and all you can do is sputter, "But it's really good!"

Agreed - it's actually about building the damned railroad, finally.  And the new focus on core (good) characters has been a huge help.

HOW has steadily improved over its run - I think season three is easily its strongest to date - strong enough that I'm actively hoping for its renewal now, whereas in the past I didn't much care either way.
