aw, E! you're disappointing me here!

(for the record, fans of the show are generally split in their response to that ep: either it's a classic or it blows depending on who you ask)

Sorry. :/ It got a bit better but the first half was exceptionally annoying.

fwiw i dont have a lot of patience for the fly episode either, its not exactly playing to the shows strengths

Lamp, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 01:49 (1 year ago) Permalink

Yeah, exactly.

"Fly" is v irritating up until the last 10 minutes.

I was more forgiving of fly knowing it was driven by budgetary constraints and not because they thought waiting for godot in a meth lab was agl

liked the end a lot but then again I'm a sucker for don't-you-see SYMBOLISM

budgetary constraints

interesting!

wolf kabob (ENBB), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 02:35 (1 year ago) Permalink

Yeah, that's pretty much the rationale behind every bottle episode ever. If the entire ep of a show takes place in a single location, chances are they're saving up cash for showier eps.

Budgetary constraints are no excuse. That's when the writers need to turn up their game the most!

self-referential bottle episode of Community was phenomenal for example

though i'm kind of in the middle on "Fly", not sure if the great last section makes up for having to get through the rest of it

i thought fly was fantastic and plays to the shows strengths v well, especially its excellence in physical comedy

iirc i hated the fly episode until it was over and i could fully digest it

haha i dont think i ever watched the whole thing

Lamp, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 02:59 (1 year ago) Permalink

It definitely got better as it went on. I can't stop watching this damn show.

wolf kabob (ENBB), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 03:00 (1 year ago) Permalink

agreed with canks; not sure how this DOESN'T play to show's strengths: tight scripting, virtuoso direction, one-on-one acting, slapstick, etc

boy, was that Dan Fielding hungry for some cake! (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 03:01 (1 year ago) Permalink

this show is mostly p bad at dialogue and restraint imo

Lamp, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 03:02 (1 year ago) Permalink

all that terrible breaking bad dialogue

diamanda ram dass (Edward III), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 03:16 (1 year ago) Permalink

yes

Lamp, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 03:19 (1 year ago) Permalink

Could take a page from the Revenge book on dialogue and restraint amirite

As bottle episodes go Fly is good, but Four Days Out from season two is better.

Just finished season 4 last night. THE INTENSITY.

Walter H. White: And, and bring me, bring me brake pads. The front wheels should have discs. Take them off and bring them to me.
Jesse Pinkman: Alright, brake pads. Okay. What are we building?
Walter H. White: You said it yourself.
Jesse Pinkman: A robot?

yeah four days out might be my single favorite ep, it's tough though. saul goodman's introductory episode is a pip too

that's just sort of how aaron paul is though, if his twitter acct is any indication.

True, Aero, but this show has a history of delivering just that.

With a very lengthy mid-season break as predicted, boo.

I wish to incorporate disco into my small business (chap), Tuesday, 22 May 2012 00:12 (1 year ago) Permalink

and by very lengthy you mean "about a year". was really hoping it'd be 8 this summer, 8 this winter.

Clay, Tuesday, 22 May 2012 00:32 (1 year ago) Permalink

so it really is two short seasons.
