    you mean jay garrick's original stories, right?

    Actually no. Jay Garrick predates science Flash. That was the original Barry Allen stuff which is generally agreed to have been the start of the Silver Age.

    buncha pessimists all'a them. 


    Honestly, I'm just gonna wait for the new season to arrive and see where it goes. I'm not sure if I liked how this one ended, as I felt the last episode was too much about tying loose ends. On the other hand, the fact that Jeff's whole character development has finally shown for good (Rather than some pieces here and there) make it quite interesting. 


    Either way, it's interesting how this season finale almost felt like a grand finale for Jeff and Abed. The rest of the characters, I feel, have a long way to go.

    Juan, have you watched other shows whose primary showrunner and/or one or a few primary writers left, and was there a noticeable difference in pre and post quality?

  • MalkavianMalkavian
    MORONS! I'VE GOT MORONS ON MY PAYROLL!

    Didn't we have this conversation last night?


    I listed some stuff that turned to shit because of it, Juan listed some good examples. The basic agreement was 'too early to tell'.

    Angel angel angel angel.


    Seriously, after Greenwalt left, Angel just got awful. Season 4 is such a big mess of serial fiction based around doing season 6 right that it's just ridiculous. By season 5, the show has just become incredibly dull with some good moments here and there. Admittedly, it gets much better during the last 6-ish episodes, as Whedon builds up to an admittedly great finale, but otherwise, bleh.


    To be more recent, though, I've been watching some of the second season's Walking Dead, and it has improved after Darabont left quite a bit. Not enough for me to watch it regularly, but good enough to not go "Why do people enjoy this again?"


    There's also the case of Nu Who post RTD. I don't think the show actually changed in terms of quality (After all, Who is probably one of the most ridiculous hit-or-miss shows out there) but the tone-shift, while welcome at first, became annoying as time went on and focus was put on less interesting characters and plotlines.


    Oh, and the last one because it's interesting: Twin Peaks. By season 2, Lynch's involvement was nominal at best, and he just managed to direct some episodes here and there (The finale and the episode where Laura's murderer's revealed, I think)


    The show doesn't become as awful as people say on season 2, but it starts quite badly, as it focuses way too much on the romance, not to mention that it takes the first seasons' themes of abstract evils and personifications and kinda just...does away with them until the end.

  • MalkavianMalkavian

    I actually felt Season 5 of Angel was it's strongest, largely because it went back to one-off episodes.

  • MillerCrossMillerCross
    You can change. You can.

    I really couldn't get into it. It had some great lawyer-gags here or there, but otherwise, I think my issue was that it had some really high-minded concepts ("If Angel's fighting evil with the resources of evil personified, does it really make him a good person?" "Or is he bound to be corrupted by the very sword he wields") 


    Also, really, Angel (Hell, Whedon) was at its best when they knew how to balance one-offs and a overaching arc. Season 5 just doesn't really have much of a season arc besides some mentions here and there about the themes that come up with the whole "Now we're lawyers working for Satan" thing.


    That is not to say it was an entirely bad season (Like I said, it regains a lot of footing by the end. Since "Smile Time", specifically, which was nothing short of genius) but otherwise, yeah, not my favourite.


    Of course, I'm biased because season 3 was my favourite and I think that if there's one season that directly opposes with everything season 5 does, it's 3.

    My computer's been broke for a while. It is "fixed" now, by which I mean it is workable on to a degree sufficient enough for me to finish my grad paper. I'll buy a new computer once I pass the university entry exam, and since this thing I'm working on now ain't worth shit, it means that I probably won't be around here for around a month or so.


    Have fun, guys.

    Good luck to you too, Juan. :P


    In other news, I listened to some of Fall Out Boy's From Under the Cork Tree era stuff, and I do not remember the vocal effects being so bad. It sounds like there are two people singing the part. It don't sound good. And to think that I was going to buy that album. Well, I still need to get two more Mastodon albums in physical copy (Leviathan and Crack the Skye), so it's probably just as well.

    Ah, greetings. I go by many names, but I suppose the two names that I go by most often is either Matt or Raosoal. Fewer know me by the latter, so if you don’t understand, please don’t ask. It’s not something that many would believe, and I would prefer not to waste either your or my time by explaining something you may not even accept.


    If you’ve even felt completely out of place in the world, out of touch with its people, or like you should have been born in a different age, welcome to my life. In a nutshell. I have donuts and coffee.


    If I had to guess, I should either have been born in the Middle Ages or the Sengoku Era, either knight or samurai, when chivalry and Bushido were a more common thing than the rarity it is today. Yes, I, unlike ninety percent of the population, believe in honor.


    I am a gentleman to a fault, or a regular “chauvinist pig”(Dresden Files reference here) as my girlfriend tells me. I open doors for girls, pull out chairs for them, stand before they sit down at a table, follow them the correct way up and down the stairs, get their coat and/or other items, carry things for them, and just about anything else there is to do. To put it shortly, I treat them with every respect and courtesy I can. And I never hit them. Ever. I cannot stand any guy that doesn’t do so either. By the way, if a guy hits a girl, my repayment plan in tenfold per hit plus tax.


    Yes, I will charge you money for hitting a girl.


    As such, I take relationships very seriously. To me, love is the one most important thing in this whole world. To live by, to live with, and to live in. Love. It’s the one thing that can forever bind two people together for an eternity. And that is just my wish. And now, I know I have found it.


    I find it very hard to say good things about myself…I guess I’m a humble person, I don’t know. I just hate bragging, because then I feel like an ass, so I am only confident about what I know I can do. Still, I don’t do brag about them. I am an aspiring writer now working on a trilogy of fantasy, romantic, adventure novels. Not to mention the one thousand other ideas I have in my head. I also do a lot of drawing in my spare time, and I’m constantly improving. I’m now the lead vocalist to the progressive metal band Spirit Overtaken, made up of the best groups of guys I’ll ever meet. I never used to be involved in music(I never learned how to play a single instrument), but after spending time with the band, I hope to make my career with them. My singing idol is Fabio Lione of Rhapsody of Fire, and I hope to one day be as good as he is.


    I am one of the most sarcastic people you will ever meet, which might be surprising to some, for I am also very reserved. I joke around when I can, and call friends names and tease them(more like roast them alive), but I don’t even mean it most of the time. Some people get confused and say I hate everyone, and nothing could be farther from the truth. Believe you me, when I hate you, you will damn well know it. Ironically, as to oppose my sarcasm, I am probably also one of the most understanding people you will ever meet, so much so that I scare people(I am really empathetic, and I can pretty much read people’s thoughts, emotions, and actions with a single glance). I am very stubborn. I could get shot in the head and I’d kill whoever shot me before I went. And I would die standing up.


    I was born a Catholic, but I’ve sort of drifted away from actually being one. I tend to take a stand against organized religions, because there’s a lot of hypocrisy, brainwashing, and other bullshit involved in it. Religion doesn’t teach you how to be a good person; it teaches you how to be a good member of that religion. Which is why I am agnostic. I am, however, deeply spiritual. I just think that it’s enough for God if I am a good person. And many of my moral views parallel Christianity.


    I’m a goth. Not a show goth, the ones who only shop at Hot Topic, where a bunch of white and black makeup, dress in all black with Tripps, dye my hair, and have so many piercings that I’d be torn to shreds if someone came up to me with a high-powered magnet. Not that goth. I am the original, old-fashioned goth, the one that scorns the show goths for being utter fools. I’m the one in the long coat, usually classy outfit. The one who understands what it means to be goth.


    I am a black belt in Shotokan Karate, and hate the laws that say I can’t beat the living daylights out of someone who really deserves it, and also that I can’t carry around a sword(Guns are dishonorable, I hate them). Yes, I am also a self-trained swordsman in Japanese katana, European hand-and-a-half sword, and Spanish rapier styles of combat. I find myself often wishing I could employ these martial arts against certain people. This happens quite often, because we have a bunch of guys that have superiority complexes and subconsciously worried that someone has a bigger dick than them(sorry for sounding crass, but it’s true). Hence the reason for when people don’t realize that they have fucked with the WRONG person until they’re in a body cast. Sure, I’d like to slaughter every evil, dishonorable bastard out there with a sword. But then, it’s not like I could just tell the cops that ‘Sorry, the battojutsu just kinda slipped’….


    And that, my friends, is me.

    That would throw the game balance out of whack, some characters would be able to spam their Distorsion Drives and not let the other players defend themselves. It is already fast paced as it is.
