The ending is great, if you completely ignore human nature.

This is near the end of the period when BSG was a nearly perfect show. I advise newbies to stop after "Resurrection Ship, Part II" and never look back. The fact that there are occasional individual good episodes after that do not make up for all the shittiness that will taint your memory of the show if you don't…

Did the "poop" tweet ever go live?

Sigh. Did I really phrase this so poorly? What I'm saying (or trying to) is:

Right, I can picture one of those procedurals showing someone getting *busted* for weed, or some one-episode character taking a bong hit before getting brutally murdered. But I guess if I refined my question, it would be to wonder if a bong has been shown on network TV in a positive or at least neutral fashion, with…

Those are cable.

Most everyone but me on various sites I visit seems to think that Martha was targeted as a honeytrap operation from the beginning. But I recently rewatched the pilot, and it seemed to me that "Clark" was getting awesome intel from Martha for some time before their relationship ever became more than platonic. My take…

What way, other than "she's older than you"?

Yeah, that's getting too cute. Only once did this show go that kind of implausible route, with making Jared the killer. I'm hoping it won't happen again.

I am hoping the same thing! I think that would be really interesting.

I loved it too. But at least the review highlighted the line that made me laugh the hardest:

I don't watch a lot of network TV (as opposed to cable/streaming shows). Are they showing people smoking weed now? I remember when the portrayal on "That '70s Show", where a child or a naive adult would have had no idea what was going on, was considered daring. I had no idea people were whipping out bongs in plain…

I thought Maura said she hadn't seen her mother in thirty years, not three.

It's true, because this was really good. But do you think it would have been less good without the aliens? I don't. Which means I am utterly indifferent to their presence in the story, which is really weird.

Is she going to get murder? Or just a lot of obstruction of justice?

Ohhhh…that's what it was! I had a memory of this episode, but I thought it was either Freakonomics or Planet Money, and it was bugging me when a Google search turned up neither of them.

I actually thought that scene was pointless (but not in an interesting way like the UFO) and made the finale a bit anticlimactic. Still a great season of TV, but that part should have been excised IMO.

"Miller's Crossing" is my favorite too. However, for me TMWWT started out seeming like one of their best but really dropped off in quality by the end. I am indifferent to the UFO supblot in this show, but I did not think it worked in that movie.

When Karl "faced down Chiang Kai-Shek", who was he fighting alongside? Mao Zedong's communists? The imperial Japanese? Because AFAIK, the U.S. was never anything but an ally to CK-S and his KMT.

He is awesome. When we had seen him but not heard from him yet, I was sure from his look (including of course his race) that he was going to talk all 1970s jive like Shaft. The way he actually talks is hilarious, menacing, and perfect.
