I didn't want to add that, but yes, it did strike me as something they all should have been way more than familiar with. I wasn't sure if that was just me as a Brit, but it's so well known here there's a charity named after it. You certainly wouldn't find anyone in the UK mistaking it for a lesson about looking out…

I got that, but he'd be a lot more badass if he seemed like he knew what he was talking about.

But he actually describes the man first as a man from Samaria, he specifies the place (presumably to give context for the term 'Samaritan'), but then doesn't include the fact that Samaritans and Jews (the original audience for the parable) hated each other. It's like the writer was trying to make him sound like he…

I dunno, given how heavily it was played (and the fact that it wasn't corrected in the episode) it seemed like it was meant to be genuine. In either case… how does someone get such a completely incorrect interpretation of something like that? It'd be like hearing the story of the prodigal son and taking the moral as…

Yes… except that he was amazingly, fantastically wrong about the point of the parable. I'm not sure whether it was the writer or the character being distractingly ignorant, but the Good Samaritan tale is not about looking after your neighbour… it's almost the exact opposite, it's about comradeship between people from…

Let's not pretend there's ever been a difference.

This show made a mistake dispatching the all time classic Balloonman in only its fourth episode. Save SOME of your best characters for the end of the run, guys!

Twin sidekicks. So you'd have a pair of… never mind.

I assume the volume of viewership only affects them fiscally when it comes to negotiating the rights with outside studios and networks (since otherwise all of their profits I think come from subscriptions, and from the limited syndication and DVD/Blu-Ray proceeds). I honestly don't know if binge-watching is better for…

Exactly ;)

Not yet. I was going to watch another today… but now I'm in no rush to keep up with the reviews here. Den of Geek's doing episodic reviews (or 'notes', but the same sort of thing), but they're an episode behind - and spoiler free - so I'm going to watch the next one tomorrow.

Exactly. It was messy, but it was for the most part very funny.

I can still recommend the show, but I don't rave about it in the same way as admittedly lesser shows such as Arrow because I don't have an inclination for people to join me in my viewership of the show. Something wonderful has been lost by this release method, and lost for no good reason.

There is always value in rewatching something, knowing what will come and appreciating the build to it… but there is also value in being surprised, in enjoying the ride without knowing where it's going. And you only get one chance to watch a show for the first time. You only get one chance to watch a show or film…

With Breaking Bad I would watch each episode two or three times while waiting for the next episode, as well as read reviews and join the online community to discuss it and speculate (and watch the companion show and listen to podcasts). I'd talk about each episode with my friends, speculating and adulating with them.…

Mediaeval Yoda was… out in the midday sun?

I've always pronounced it more like the song (but stressing the first syllable and easing off the second - more like 'KNOW-el'), really because of the accent. For Noel Edmonds, for example, I pronounce it to rhyme with 'bowl'. (And I'll just point out that the speaking dictionary misses out the accent ;) )

I thought he meant it to be pronounced more like Nowell (although with less emphasis on the second syllable), so the accent was to try and avoid it rhyming with, say, 'bowl'.

Exactly. A lot of what he's 'spoiled' could have been conjectured pretty easily, but pointing the exact incidents out with certainty just damages the mystery of what's to come.
