Right now it's Rex Reed.

The Harvest was just part 2 of Buffy's pilot, right? So…

Fringe was probably more interesting, but also less competent. It felt like the writers had no idea how to write procedural crime fiction. (Edit: To be clear, I'm talking early Fringe here.)

Someone last week brought up the super-bright, soap opera style lighting as the reason for this.

I remember reading that Favreau, Downey, and Bridges came up with most of the dialogue for Iron Man 1 by acting it out in their trailer or something.

If it stays at this level I'd imagine they'd cut the budget before cancelling it. Fringe managed to survive a couple years in the 1.0's, and if anything that show looked a lot better than this one. I'll take everyone's word for it that this is super-expensive; last week someone brought up the bright lighting, which…

Mmmm… Whedon murder-vibes

I dunno, American shows regularly try to pass off American cities as obviously different cities. This kind of stuff is probably just the realities of trying to produce TV without going over time or over budget (I've also heard Breaking Bad was horrible with its Hispanic accents).

Liked for referring to him as the Orcman.

Jeffrey Bell is a showrunner too.

It does come off as weirdly accusatory.

No you shut up. The lesbian subtext between Princess Bubblegum and Marceline is totally real and anyone who doesn't see it is being willfully blind.

So, you know those awful, super-stuck up and conceited articles about how could the masses prefer shows like Two and Half Men and the Big Bang Theory to whatever the beloved, smart, boundary pushing, single camera show of the week is? This was basically the bizarro version of that. And I'm okay with that, I guess, at…

I seem to be on the higher side of opinion here (I gave it a B+ on the grade thingy). Though it probably helped I had seen some advance reviews and didn't have super-high expectations.

I was going to say, "I got an Adventure Time notification for this!?" and then I saw the end of the article.

I dunno, it seems possible there were people who had never bought a digital copy of a TV show before and didn't know the price points. I've regularly seen 22 episode seasons on DVD for less than $20 (albeit awhile after they came out).

@avclub-e3f5ab7f02122f95b801e13e2c586d6a:disqus  I imagine AMC had a major say in dividing it into two broadcast seasons. I was just guessing that they wouldn't care what they're called, because I'm assuming it's Sony signing the paychecks the actors, writers, etc (I think that's how it would work?).

So this would be Sony behind it, not AMC, right?

No, the AMC website doesn't have full episodes for free. They just extras and stuff.

iTunes and Amazon allow you to download the files, but they're encrypted with DRM which limit what devices that can play them on.
