I know, I still can't believe it, but the Alison episode was my favorite too, and she was my least favorite clone!
I know! But it's the only episode that felt like OB to me. It's about one of the sisters, as a person, about her journey and about getting her some closure.
I wish that's all they had done. One episode for each, and then some a couple dealing with the Neos conspiracy by giving it depth and width, instead of making it all about that one guy

it would've been much more interesting (to me) than all those useless villains, old and new, who just kept taking screentime away from the clones
I keep thinking it was a schedule issue because Tat's been so busy and they couldn't do what they wanted (they barely talked on the phone, or webcamed all season because they couldn't block enough time with Tatiana) but then even when she was on, nothing much was going on about the Ledas.

And since they couldn't get the emotional closure they wanted for them, they killed characters left and right, for nothing, hoping to get some emotional impact out of that. Man, they pissed me off with Mrs S. Hell, I was even mad that Ira got some stupid offscreen death and the guy was bugging me!

Thanks! I feel dumb but my excuse is that its on a channel I don't get.
no reason to feel dumb. It took me forever to get what people were talking about when they kept using OUAT as a hashtag
And despite the lame last season, you should totally watch Orphan Black. It's a good story and ahem I don't get BBCA either

WOW! I am dumb. I thought it was on HBO or Showtime or something. I get BBCA . I watch Top Gear and Graham Norton on that. Once I get the DVR cleaned off some, I will check it out.

I'm sure it's kinda hard to keep track

I wouldn't know, I haven't had a working tv in almost 20 years

I wouldn't have cable if it wasn't for mom and dad. Mom especially is technology challenged. Like today she couldn't figure out why her game wouldn't work on her kindle. She wasn't hooked-up to the WiFi.

So many channels and so many mediocre shows. Hard to keep track. I miss that TV Guide Magazine. (Not the one that is imitating the TV Guide today!)

Noone watches it here, but damn, did I love the 300th episode of Greys Anatomy. There was a big surprise cameo, which made the show go full circle. I wonder how many more episodes we will get. Surely they are going to beat ER, but after that..

At least the show will not happen without Ellen Pompeo. If she wants out the show is going out too, which makes me happy, because she makes the show.

Huh, after all the schedule issues with Evelyne, they couldn't get Tat either?? That certainly would explain why there were so maany scenes involving Westmoreland, Susan, and freaking Coady I did enjoy watching Susan, but the other two, UGH

I will NEVER forgive them for killing S and MK. Stupidest, most pointless deaths I've ever seen, and by the hands of the same ****ing lame killer, a character I could've never cared less about, WHY

‘Take Two’ on ABC: Rachel Bilson, Eddie Cibrian Drama From ‘Castle’ EPs | TVLine

gee can't anyone have a original idea anymore?

The actor sucks and brings too much drama with his wife and ex-wife. Ugh He can't act his way out of a paper bag either.

and Rachel... I think of her as a teen/cw actress.

sounds like my Mom. She calls me in a panic because the tv is not turning on. I make her check everything. We stay on the phone like an hour and nothing works. Then I'm like "hmm... have you checked the batteries in the remote maybe?". Yep. An hour of my life I won't get back

Quote:

nope. And they're not even trying. Now their only goal is to say "actor you know from this show is in a show that's kinda like this show and that one"
I think they believe people will like shows they liked before except hm... look at your ratings, dudes, it's not working. But the advertisers lap it up so that's all that matters. They sell ads in advance for like 8 weeks and when the ratings are in and they're terrible, they cancel and move on. They made their money.

I know nothing about his life but he certainly is one lousy actor. The only thing I liked him in was "But I'm a Cheerleader" and it was only because he was perfect for acting campy as the movie required.

That's what happens when little shows get big: their talented casts get big too and it's hard to keep going.

Ugh. All this internal Neo politics were so ****ing boring. And they really could have made it more interesting but as it was, it was just

S's death was so ****ing pointless! The documents were already out anyway! If at least she had sacrificed herself so that the Ledas could be free, it would still made me mad but it would be a character dying like she lived, you know?
And Ferdinand got it way too easy. He should have suffered more.

I didn't even care whether he suffered or not, I just really wish the character could've been forgotten like so many others

When they made him kill MK, I knew for sure he was going to die but it was really... lackluster in many ways. I don't think he deserved an end but since it got one, it should have been more fitting. AND he didn't get to take another character with him.

Now, since we're talking about disappointment, am I the only one who wishes Helena had daughters? Didn't that fit the theme of the show perfectly?

I'm so desperate for shows, I'm actually giving Fringe and Mad Men another try. And remembering why I didn't last on either

Oh yeah, definitely agree, at least make it a more satisfying ending...though I don't think any ending to that character would've been good to me, anyway

I was surprised she had boys I mean, I didn't really mind that, I just thought it was great she didn't die and had healthy babies in the end, caue it would've been SO frustrating not to get that after being pregnant for years

Yeah me neither but if they were going to spend time on him, at least he should have died a slow death. Buried alive would have been my choice.

I didn't mind and they were cuties but since the show was so much about self determination of women, and they had wiped out the previous generation, I thought it would be real nice if the show ended with the next generation. And as much as it was cool to name them for the two guys who were in their corner since the start, Gracie and Siobhan would have been perfect names for girls. Oh well.

I never had doubts the kids would be born safely but yeah that was the longest pregnancy in the history of television
