But it fits the internal logic!

Actually, that sounds awesome.

On the subject of longer seasons, The Office's fourth fifth season produced 28 half hours. Is that the record for a show within recent memory?

I am too. I think it's the 3rd strongest episode to this point behind "DNA Mad Scientist" and "PK Tech Girl".

The plan is to do 13 episode seasons.

And here she claims not to have noticed they'd never been alone. Normally I'd think they were being telegraphed as the central romantic couple, which makes knowing the show's future kind of weird.

Normally I would agree, and I would have no interest if I were merely given an accurate description of the show and didn't know about Fuller's involvement.

I think part of the weirdness of the first episode was that it was ordered straight to series rather than going through a regular pilot process. Most pilots, even those on cable, have some sort of resolution or big twist at the end, so they feel at least kind of like a complete story (and make the execs/audience want…

I would side with Jim, but I don't understand why Athlead exists or why anyone would want to sign with them rather than sticking with competent managers or agents or whoever normally handles this kind of thing. It also doesn't help that they had done nothing in 9 seasons to indicate that Jim would able to succeed at…

Plus, it's all finished shooting.

SPOILER warning maybe I guess, this is from the Breaking Bad Insider Podcast

I like "Vitas Mortis". But I have a pretty high tolerance for the show's weird mysticism, "That Old Black Magic" aside.
