Yeah we need an answer to that. It's bogus to just leave us wondering what the hell happened there. Surely they could've written an interesting episode around that, no problem.

Why did I think it was Montreal? They sure do a great job of making Toronto look great. A lot of shows have been filmed there, including a lot of my favorites, like Nikita, but none of them looked anywhere near this good.

I was also skeptical about season 1. I was much more impressed with season 2.

Netflix? Do you mean Amazon?

I feel your pain re: restrictive diets, but mine is for a different reason — bad attack of IBS here, so I have to limit what I'm eating and eliminate foods to figure out if something is triggering it. Since I stopped eating nuts and seeds a few days ago, my stupid innards seem to have calmed down a bit. This is very…

How much of this was actually filmed in Europe, I wonder? Probably just a few establishing shots and the bits with the motorcycle, and most of it still done in Montreal, right?

Obscure package — no, I think the digital broadcast subchannel section is available to everyone. Check 460-499 or so. Depending on your market, you should probably have a whole clump of mostly-useless rerun-filled broadcast subchannels like Cozi TV, Antenna TV, etc.

Verizon FiOS, you mean? It takes those fuckers forever to add new digital subchannels. Usually they're in the 460-499 range on FiOS. Maybe they'll get around to adding it by fall. If you're lucky.

Yeah, I occasionally hear this kind of thing from various commenters, suggesting TVD is worth watching (if only for its casts and how quickly it burns through plot apparently, according to some). I guess I could give it a shot someday but it's really hard to get past that title. And I'm worried if I choose to watch it…

I'm told a lot of TV production is moving back out to Cali now. Apparently CA finally increased its tax incentives. Many of this fall's new network TV shows are filmed in CA (much to my chagrin — eat goat balls, Cali, yr locations are boring as fuck and played-out!). Movies maybe work differently? Or they started…

This response is about two years late, but: At the time Twin Peaks originally aired, lots of people somehow expected to learn who Laura's killer was by the end of the first season. Loads of viewers were pissed off when the first season ended with absolutely no indication of any wrap-up.

(applauds)

Do they ever give Katee Sackhoff any interesting storylines? I watched some of S1 and wasn't impressed. Needed more Sackhoff.

If Jim Rice, Carolyn, and Troyzan were the plagues that would have been foisted upon us by Probst, then I'm glad CBS *didn't* just cast it themselves. Sure, they probably would've liked to, but they got more publicity this way.

Not that part. Zzzz, that started getting slightly boring after the first 638,922 times people quoted it. But literally just about every other thing he said.

What did these A.V. Club writers ever do to you to make you want to subject them to Persons Unknown? I vote CBS's OTHERWORLD instead, from 1985-ish. (Though I'm not sure if a mere eight episodes is enough to count as a "season" for the purposes of this series of articles.)

That show wasn't even any fucking good anyway*. The ending just piled injury on top of absurdity. Did those writers really think viewers would want a second season of that crap?

Ah, never been much of a Regular Show guy, but I'll have to hunt that one down. Thanks.

I don't think I saw T-Bird's original season (as far as I can recall — or maybe that was the one that was so boring that I bailed out and didn't come back for several years) but I liked her video a lot, so I voted for her. Just from that one video she seemed to have a lot more presence than a bunch of the other…

Yeah, I was sort of surprised the producers didn't cut that off right away so they wouldn't have to pay those evil leeching copyright-squatting scumbags at… who is it with that bogus claim to the Happy Birthday song — Warner Brothers or something?
