One Comment
i’ve been meaning to come comment on this for days… oops!
as usual, i totally agree with you both on pretty much everything you had to say. i find myself so frustrated with the way genre shows are marketed, rated, and the process of deciding cancellation. its very frustrating, especially b/c th genre demographic is so more likely to dvr, download, or stream episodes of their favorite shows, rather than watch live. i just wish there was a more accurate way to collect tv ratings, and with all the technology we have in place now, it seems like it would be.
i loved everything you had to say about W13, and i really agree with the way the series arc played out. I too thought of the show as merely episodal at first, and then i had to take back what I said as the bigger story kept building and expanding. I was also really glad when the show revealed that MacPhearson had helped Claudia hack the warehouse; it was a point of contention for me to accept that she had done it all on her own. I love the character of Claudia, and I thought your discussion of her was hilarious. I also think her ability to quote obscure pop culture references is a valid thing, i mean, who says you can’t have the tv on or the laptop open while you’re doing your obsessive magnetic field research. Her character certainly has an air of trendiness about her.
I cannot wait to see Paranormal Activity. I loved your review Jason, thanks for omitting any spoilers!
I was one of the people who missed Dollhouse a week ago, and I really agree about the lack of promotion. Getting back to my first comment… it is so frustrating! i love the show, and I will be so heartbroken if it gets canceled, especially if that happens mid-season.
Oh, and I listened to this podcast before i caught the first ep of FF on hulu- and your discussion/description really helped set up the premise of the show and convinced me to watch it. I had tried to watch it the night it aired, but only caught the first 5 minutes or so, and I was having a hard time following. Then when I watched it again, I really liked the pilot. I saw the second episode too and i’m hooked now.
love the podcast as usual guys!
