Even better, I really liked the exterior appearance. Yes, it was distinctly pinecone-y, but that glow effect was very cool, but also somehow made me feel like it was an animal scurrying in some direction or other.

It's funny because it sounds like the opposite of what it does, amirite?!

Oh, not meant on a knock on the rest of the song, just saying in terms of the OP's "describing everything you need to know about the show" haha

As I said, more a problem early in the show, but still a bit here and there. Even when the drama isn't as stereotypical "teens hooking up and getting jealous" anymore, it still does seem like the relationships and interactions are all just slightly shallower than they would be on a good adult show.

They talk about brand, but they don't make a fetish out of the different features. Especially the features-of-the-moment that the marketers think are just gonna win everyone over, while leaving out consumer reports ratings and other stuff that doesn't sound like it came straight out of goddamn ad copy.

I can live with some product placement although it does make me wrinkle my nose. The number one rule though is DON'T DRAG IT OUT. They seemed to think it was okay as long as it was integrated with Zoe being really excited about the new car. No. Just say your damn lines about the damn features, get in your damn…

I agree on Ruby, quite the opposite of LaToya I thought she was the worst part of the week. I think when the rest of the episode is weak her cartoonish qualities tend to be amplified even more.

@5ometh1ngR4nd0m:disqus Not a fan, too slapsticky and ridiculous. I like my Ruby ridiculousness within the laws of physics.

I just cracked up when the kids beamed onto the transporter pad. Purely visually, I couldn't help myself. It's that kind of episode. I love how at first they don't even ATTEMPT an explanation, it's more arbitrary than Doctor Who, and even the one we eventually got can't have had much thought put in.

I love how committed they were that "Old West" had become "Ancient West".

Keiko asks, "what if they don't find a cure! Is that the end of our marriage?" My immediate thought was, "no, it just means you and Miles are gonna have a fuckin CRAZY second honeymoon in about 6 years…"

That was my biggest complaint. The "Ro needs to learn to be a kid" story could've had real weight but they didn't seem interested in spending much time truly developing that angle. Gotta get on to the bed jumping! Which I didn't hate as much of some of you seemed to, but it's ultimately pretty forgettable.

Yeah, I don't get this Lil' Guinan hate. Zack seems to be complaining her lines/attitude is annoying, which is a different thing. Whoopi's delivery is always weighed down by the wisdom and patience of centuries of experience, of COURSE a little girl is gonna sounds stilted saying them, but I thought the mannerism was…

It spends a frustrating amount of time on teen drama BS (more a problem early in the show) and also with generic "downfall of civilization" stuff that isn't really that sci-fi-y. But it does have enough to keep me going, yeah.

Hmmmm, interesting. I've always been very skeptical I could have the patience for a true musical for a full episode every week (not because the songs are bad or boring but just to handle the story being told in such a non-real way for that long), but I *did* like that intro…

I hate that I can't stop watching The 100, but those damn credits are a huge part of keeping me sucked back in…that's a good observation about GoT, but they put enough of their own style on it I still think its work admiring.

Really the Animaniacs would've had enough with "we're totally insane-y" :)

I upvoted this before I read your second sentence (or the OP) haha. I get into that simple fun rap jam way more than the actual show.

GOD HATES FAnGS

There is no way I'm watching a trailer for a show like The Americans. I want to let it floor me every week, completely fresh.
