    Babylon 5 - Sleeping in Light is up there

    (also The Deconstruction of Falling Stars was filmed to be the series finale. Does that count?)

    Wasn't that the other way around? They filmed Sleeping in Light as a series finale during season 4 (because they weren't renewed on the current network), then got picked up for a 5th season on a different network, then whipped up Deconstruction to just be the season finale. And saved Sleeping in Light to use at the series end.

    That's what happened, yeah. "The Deconstruction of Falling Stars"'s production number is 501; it was the first produced episode of the fifth season and was made under TNT. It just aired at the end of the series 4 run on syndication.

    I appreciate the mix of pathos and absurdity in the Dinosaurs finale I certainly assume the last human transmission will be sad and poignant and delivered by someone with a name as stupid as Howard Handupme

    Glen's obviously a sweetheart, but the shit he pulled this last episode had me raving at the TV that a Middle Aged man could be so completely fucking stupid and not have choked to death on his tongue already (and also he raised a bunch of foster kids, somehow!) I just wanted Amy to grab him by the shirtfront and start shaking him and slapping him like, "Uncle Billy in It's a Wonderful Life"-style while screaming "Where's the *money*, where's the *money* you stupid little shit!"

    I watched Gotham when it first started but Jada Pinkett Smith drove me up the dingdang wall and I had to tap out

    I know she goes away, eventually. Maybe I'll give it another shot.

    the first season is not great tbh, at least until towards the back off

    it goes of the rails soon though

    The twelfth episode of Gotham's first season is amazing.

    It also happens to feature literally the dumbest decision I have ever seen a mobster perform in the world of organized crime.

    That was exactly what bounced me the first time after the first few episodes.

    It's totally worth powering through.

    Finally starting season 3 of Legion now that FX stuff is properly on hulu.

    ...and that's a helluva strong start there. Jeez

    Also, Lauren Tsai can dang act! I honestly wasn't sure how good she might be based solely on Terrace House, but she killed it.

    Gonna scrounge up some dinner and start episode 2. Very excited.

    they just seemed to deal with Satan way too easily. Satan should be a god level fight not a level 5 thief.
