    Lost is, at this point, insultingly bad.

    Like it was OK when you still thought the writer's weren't just pulling shit out of their asses every time to add "mystery' or "intrigue"

    Now it's like there's just a 5th grade contributed hat of ideas and...

    Well, you get it. Lost is bad.

    I'm not trying to be confrontational here, but have you actually watched anything beyond season 2? Season 2 was horrible yes. And season 3 was... middling, at best. But season 4, at least watched in the span of 3 days like I did, was fucking excellent. It was certainly good enough to completely redeem the show in my eyes.

    That said, I'd still prefer more Pushing Daisies.

    Because having to watch a show for four years before it gets good is completely acceptable!

    Man, season 4 is what made me stop watching. This is getting a little OT.

    Season 1 was quite good too. So we only had to watch one shitty season, and one average season. But I also feel compelled to point out that Star Trek: Next Generation didn't get good at all until the fourth season. Man, fuck that show.

    Isn't there some kind of weird clause where if the full run of the season doesn't air, they can't sell it in DVD form?

    My Wonderfalls and Firefly DVDs say that there isn't.
    A lot of times, the final episodes get aired at some point on a weekend at like, 3 AM as filler.

    Are you sure this wasn't the case?

    100% Positive. Wonderfalls only had 4 of 13 episodes air in the US before its DVD release, Firefly had 3 episodes unaired before its release. I followed both shows quite closely :).

    It's a bit late (please don't hurt me), but the prez of ABC says taht they're more likely to make the last few episodes available online instead of broadcasting them.

    Just a heads up... my DVR just scheduled a recording of the first of 3 "new" Pushing Daisies on May 30th. Apparently these are the last three episodes that were filmed but never aired. Hopefully they can give this great show some closure (though I have my doubts).

    They're burning them off on the next three Saturdays starting on the 30th.

    I've already seen them. There is...the opposite of closure. They fucking kick open a door while pretending to shut some windows.

    I hope Windows Media Center picks up on those showings. I'm pretty sure I set it to record episodes whenever they air.

    Still can't believe those rat bastards cancelled it. Where's my season two collection already.

    I expect the sensation to be something akin to someone constantly healing and reopening a wound.

    And yes, when the last of the three episodes is over I'm sure I'll be upset.

    Edit: Also, when it had been so long since I hadn't seen an episode---part of me wanted to see Land of the Lost just to see Chuck :(

    You know, she got like, 6 offers to do pilots for TV shows. She turned them down cause I think she wants to do movies.

    We're gonna have to pay to hear her talk! In her English accent or her American one.

    They showed Wonderfalls on LoGo, which I'm guessing isn't available in a lot of markets.

    It won't be the same. Think about all the dialogue the show has. Would you really want to read it all?

    And considering the way the finale ends, they basically threw everything and the kitchen sink at trying to make something resembling an ending. There's a montage that ties up a few storylines while starting new ones...I think that's when they got word they were cancelled while filming the finale and did some reshoots.

    Is this not an English show?

    I swear that It was on TV over here a year ago or so, which means the finished product is available somewhere.

    Also, does that imply that buying rights to air it on TV also gives them DvD rights? As I thought the production company got that.

    Honestly. You people just want credit for everything good on TV don't you? :P

    It was a promo for next week's episode.
    the line was "find the real killer or you'll never see your Penny again."

    I think they had Randy Mann put on the show as just a lonely guy who really REALLY needed a friend. Maybe he just likes Ned a lot, especially because his old friend is dead.

    I actually liked the peek into the Darling Mermaid Darlings thing, but yeah...the ending.

    I mean, I said it'd be unsatisfying, especially when you read about what they had planned for the rest of the season. They were going to use the back nine episodes to thoroughly explain the links between Ned's dad, Dwight Dixon, and Charles Charles. Also the pocketwatches and stuff about Ned's powers.

    But apparently we're gonna get that in comic form, however the comics are split.
    One comic plot apparently has a flash flood at a cemetery and all the bodies washing past Ned and being revived.

    I can't believe it's over.

    They certainly did a heroic job trying to tie everything up and give us some idea of what would happen to the characters later in the series.

    (I still missed Fredo. Randy Mann is a poor substitute.)
