Re: Battlestar writers finally admit that the Cylons never had “a plan”

The Sopranos isn't mystery-based, but they certainly maintained quality and tension over 22 episodes a season. I'm not much into the Wire, but ditto. The Good Wife wasn't quite as consistent, but they did a lot with a lot of time. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend's excellent first season had 18 episodes. There are plenty of superb dramas with 13+ episode seasons.

Liberal pissing matches suck, so here's a little of MY urine to put an end all these damn peeing races!

How does Gabrielle Goddamn Union wear a half-naked dress and come out looking boxy? That is a crime against beauty.

Plus she was able to snitch to her mom about what his trauma spots were so that Missy could trap him with it in her hypnosis.

This show worked top-to-bottom for me. I LOVED Jane Fonda's performance and I found the structure much more successful than others did. Looking forward to season two!

The line is pretty simple for me. If the character is disabled, a disabled actor should be cast to play them.

Yeah but Garrett is actually black. He's not actually disabled. I hate to criticize it because Colton Dunn is knocking it out of the fucking park, but putting an abled actor in a wheelchair isn't cool.

This is extremely true. My father in law IS Hank. Same accent, same daily uniform, same lawn fetish, same extreme discomfort with feelings. If you tell him he is Hank Hill, as many have, he makes an discomforted grimace and changes the subject, often to propane.

You've got a good point. The whole Philly plot was contrived and required J&P to act out of character in a number of ways. There was a lot of back and forth between them that wasn't true to either of their characters.

Right, that's part of why it was so frustrating though. They abandoned a lot of character growth. Regression makes sense but she was being straight up irrational. Especially considering that Jim had always been unambitious and then finally found what he wanted to do (which I bought), it was just shitty and unsupportive and stubborn, which was never really in her character. Same thing with Andy. They had him grow as a character with Erin and then just erased all of it.

They make Ashton Kutcher look like a comedic genius.

They did a great job of turning it around on him though. That one episode where Dwight plays snow-mind-games him holds up, because it shows that Jim could dish it out but couldn't really take it. And I think it helped transition the character away from the bullying.

These are old, but fucking Xander on BTVS. Hate him, hate his face, hate his incompetence, hate how he contributes nothing, hate his misogyny, hate him for dumping Anya, hate. Hate. Hate. I don't know if it RUINS it, but I hate him

Also: Eric and Donna on That 70s Show. The rest of the show, especially Red and Kitty, make for a pretty decent if stupid sitcom. Eric and Donna have dead eyes and no chemistry, and all of their lines are delivered smugly, like they assume you already like their characters the best and find the rest of the show beneath them. The writing wasn't good enough for deadpan delivery and neither of them have any timing. And since they are the main characters, I really can't watch the show. Not a huge loss, but I do love Debra Jo Rupp.

I just don't think the comparison to Homer is an insult. So what if she's not Marge? It's a different show. Tina isn't Lisa. Gene isn't Bart. Louise is kind of Bart though. He's right that she's the id of the show, but that's not a bad thing.

They kept thinking that Ed Helms has the same capabilities as Steve Carrell. Steve Carrell could have sold that scene and made it funny-excruciating rather than just terrible.

I actually liked most of season 9, but they did some really weird things with Pam's character in particular. The whole arc where Jim wanted to move to Philly to pursue his dream and she was like "no let's stay in shitty Scranton, I'm complacent here" was not in touch with her earlier character and made no sense given her own creative goals (remember when she moved to NYC? That Pam would have been excited to face a new challenge in a bigger city). That was really poor writing.

She's got a long torso. Speaking from experience, slacks/trousers/etc are often unflattering with those proportions. Jeans work but rarely formal pants.

My old maxim holds true here: you can't see her underwear, so they're pants enough for me.

Seriously, I would call these soft pants, not leggings. Leggings are one step away from tights/hose, but these are clearly very solid and not meant to be worn under anything.

I agree. I'm no Dunham fan but the hair and makeup are flawless, her posture is better, and the sillouhette is great.

I've always thought that her outfit/hair in the first episode were actually really unflattering. Most of the first season she looks great, but that beehive, neckline, and wrinkled dress are just not her at her best. She looks a million times better in the last look. Am I alone here?

Not loving Maisie's hair. Her Arya short hair really suits her - wish she'd stick with that. Sarah Hyland's new makeup routine is not working for me.
