I really should not have kept watching House past season 5 and definitely should not have watched any of season 7 at all.

One of the best episodes they've done

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #10806 on:** February 06, 2015, 01:43:34 PM »

I'm so behind on Sunny. Fell off when I noticed seasons would always start super strong for 3-4 episodes then taper off.

it lost its way for a bit, but last season was a re-righting of the ship and this year it's full steam ahead.

I think its doing a lot better at 10 episodes a season. Helped trim the fat. They are also doing minor character developments that are very interesting (compared to what happens 10 years in in other sitcoms).

Seconding this, though I thought they started to re-find themselves a couple years earlier with Chardee MacDennis/Thundergun Express/High School Reunion and everything after that.

The years before do have some classics (Kitten Mittens/We're Lawyers!, D.E.N.N.I.S. System, the road trip to the Grand Canyon, etc.) though but cutting off two or three episodes a season has really cut off the chaff.

To clarify, I wish I'd stopped not because those seasons are bad, but because their narrative content fucking gutted me, which to be fair isn't very difficult to accomplish but still.

Yeah I said as much in the gaf thread and everyone kinda jumped at me over it. After the other death that came a few episodes it just feels...cheap. People using the "but it's pulp" excuse when it was still failrly clever pulp from jump and this just felt a little beneath it.

I went into the finale a bit skeptical, since everyone knows how the Spartacus story ends. But they did it perfectly.

if not for The Wire, Spartacus would have the GOAT gay characters. Hell, every minority shined in Spartacus

The scene where he runs up that hill, soaked in blood. Metal as fuck. That entire last fight was so good. Manly tears the whole time for the last 15 minutes of that episode.

Spartacus looked up at Crassus and saw his wife, as his life started to fade from his eyes. Just fucking cried. Then even more as he saw her again right before he closed his eyes.

Gannicus and Caesar finally get their full rematch and the Romans start closing in around them and he just gets cut down. Gannicus was the bestest character IMO.

I was secretly hoping the writers would just go completely off the rails Inglourious Basterds style and have Spartacus win in the end and sack Rome.

Only in the sense that their civilization wasn't enduring enough to allow for thorough linguistic study. Given their political structure, urbanism, and class system it's reasonable to believe Etruscan had sociolects, but it's just inferred belief.

I think the events thus far show how deep a BB prequel can go. There's a lot there with the cartels and interesting side-stories the whole way leading up to Walt. And having Saul be the main character is the best because he's got a bird's eye view of everything.
