Why are those first two seasons so watchable and the rest simply….not? Is it because Manu Bennet chews scenery like nobody's business? Is it because there's a joy at seeing a team come together in Diggle and Felicity? Is it watching someone go from a kill people policy to a no-kill policy? Heck, is it just me or were…
Who has time to comment on an internet forum? Who has time to read AV Club articles? Who has time to watch TV in general?
Season five at least had meow meow beenz, the lava episode, the great David Fincher-esque Ass-Crack Bandit episode…but I'd be really hard pressed to name another episode worth watching.
I can never make that argument because my answer will always be "They're not in purgatory. They weren't dead the whole time. It's….actually a lot more complicated and silly than that, but they weren't dead the whole time."
Ya know, I'm hard on LOST….only because I know how good it could actually be and was frustrated when it wasn't. It's easy to nit pick. But THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS and THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME are some of the best finales I've ever seen. Heck, they even made the Hurley van pay off in a big way! Reminded me of the…
That last shot of Paulie sunning himself gave me flashbacks to this scene where almost every character who hung out there is now dead: https://www.youtube.com/wat…
Re-watch it if you're like me and didn't know the Polaroids in the opening credits not only changed every episode but were not so subtle clues as to the fate of the characters.
I have this weird urge to watch it as soon as it airs to be part of the cultural zeitgeist then never revisit an episode ever again. Bits and pieces, sure, TANK BATTLE, but a whole episode of misery? No thank you.
You'd think having only one season of story to tell would prevent you from going "She's dead. Psych! She's alive. Now she's dead again. PSYCH! She's not dead! She's blind. Now she can see again. Now she's blind again. Also the Minotaur is killed off screen." Season three man….
Listen, I know it, we ALL know it, but THIS IS THE WAY THINGS ARE NOW. There's no going back. We have to live in the real world. I know it, we ALL know it. Things aren't the way they were before. It's not the same. And can never be the same again. This is our lives now. And we have to SURVIVE. I know it, we ALL know…
It does work best in bits and pieces. And Murray is the MVP.

"Oh no, don't swear Murray-"

HEROES first season is the story of a Japanese man who saves the day while a white man insists he's the hero when in reality all he does is almost get everyone killed in a nuclear explosion. Peter should've just stayed home.
Which is frankly selfish and downright insane. Getting into meth to provide for your family makes you sympathetic; staying in the game at great risk to your family merely because you love it is a good way to get people to root against you.
I guess it depends on which episodes you're seeing? I've known Pierces. I've known Brittas. I might be an Abed. I've even met a Chang.
It's the 25 episode length causing them to stretch narrative plot points to the point of being broken. And I envy anyone who can make it through the flashbacks, I find them repatative and fairly boring; at first it was fun to discover just what these characters were actually like back home. After a certain point…
Hey, that's pretty close except for the parts where our characters ever question their reality (though one character does point out its ridiculous that so many of them survived with minor injuries).
Thanks for that highly researched position. Millions like you decided the president of our country and it's why we're all afraid. Jesus Wept.
I mean it's a VERY character centric show, its why the latter season suffer so much because actors are dropping like flies. Heck, check out that episode where the character dynamics change based on who went to get the pizza. One thing I always appreciated about COMMUNITY is it's obvious they never said "good enough."
It's not that the character building stuff wasn't fun, its just we'd go from "Hey Ana- Lucia….HOW LONG WOULD IT TAKE TO TRAIN AN ARMY?" -dundundun cut to black end of episode-
-next episode-
"So, I asked around and like…Scott maybe wanted to be in the army? I dunno."
LOST suffered from a case of characters not…
