Just a few rules so that everybody can have fun: ad hominem attacks on the blogger are fair; ad hominem attacks on other commenters will be deleted. And I will absolutely not stand for anything that is, in my judgment, demeaning, insulting or hateful to any gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or religion. And though I won't insist on keeping politics out, let's think long and hard before we say anything particularly inflammatory.
Also, sorry about the whole "must be a registered user" thing, but I do deeply hate to get spam, and I refuse to take on the totalitarian mantle of moderating comments, and I am much too lazy to try to migrate over to a better comments system than the one that comes pre-loaded with Blogger.
I've been having a blast following your reviews, especially because I'm also re-watching the show; and I can definitely say, reading your reviews after each episode makes me appreciate and enjoy AD even more.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work. Looking forward to the next season.
Yeah, these have been absolutely fantastic, Tim. I hadn't watched the show in years since it went off the air, and your reviews(and the upcoming Season 4) was just the right combo to get me re-watching it all over again. Just a brilliant, clever show, from top to bottom, and your reviews do a great job at illustrating that.
