Starting my binge tonight.

Thats exactly how I feel about it. I'll be putting off passing judgement until at least a second view because initial reaction has been somewhat mixed, but mostly good.

I'm thinking the reason it may be mixed is because the format of the new episodes took some getting used to. I have been enjoying the season as a whole more and more as it has progressed.

I think the format (with each episode mainly focusing on one character at a time) has its good points and bad points. I don't understand why some characters have more than one episode while others feel neglected. I don't understand why a couple of episodes don't seem to adopt the format at all, leaving the season feeling a little disjointed. I do however think that it has allowed each characters story, and all the other arcs throughout, to overlap and intertwine very well and I think it's brilliantly written in many ways.

It's a mixed bag. I'm hoping that I can watch it for a second time and, obviously not being surprised by anything, appreciate it even more and realise that all the little negatives aren't really negatives after all.

I finished my Arrested Development binge... I liked it for the most part, but I felt it took a few episodes for it to pick up, probably the first Tobias episode was when I really got into it. I think my favorite episode was the 2nd GOB episode, I think it ranks up there with the best from the original seasons.

And that ending... yeah

Has everybody heard that Dan Harmon has been asked to return to Community? Whether he will or not is still up in the air, but THERE IS HOPE.

Source? I've heard rumors but that is it.

On Arrested Development: New stuff is good but I think the new format keeps it from the frenetic brilliance of the original. If they do more I hope they return to the old format. It makes sense that they would, it was a cost cutting move to keep the cast budget down.

I feel optimistic about more being made, but I guess I should wait until I hear some actual data on the release.

Arrested Development.
Hannibal.
Game of Thrones.
Mad Men.
Loiter Squad.

When the hell is the next season of Venture Bros coming out? It was supposed to be years ago.

debaserr · 05-27-2013, 05:22 PM

Judging from the rest of your list I have to check out Venture Bros / Loiter Squad.
