Then Heroes. Heroes was my Walking Dead, my True Blood before True Blood. The difference is I didn't give up on it like I did those two (and Dexter, whose final season I did not watch).

Heroes had such terrible writing and went in so many weird, senseless directions. There were so many retcons from season to season. But I'll he damned if I didn't love the actors and the characters.

Currently watching on TV or a past show can count?

I know I'm a broken record, but Claire Fisher



I thought about a lot of characters. Peggy from Mad Men. Margaret from Boardwalk Empire. Carmella Soprano.

But I gotta go with Claire. When we meet her, she's in high school. By the end of the show, she's all grown up, a complete different person. Claire is the character I think grows the most throughout the series. She does some idiotic things in her younger years, but like a lot of kids she finds her way

David Fisher, as played by Michael C. Hall in Six Feet Under. This was tough between him and his brother Nate Fisher, as played by Peter Krause, especially I identify with Nate a lot more (I'm not gay, I've done a lot of the same horrible things he's done). But as far as the show goes and entertainment value, Nate never grows, whereas David goes through so many storylines that build his character and bring him to a logical and satisfying conclusion. David is the family lynchpin, and it's his arc through the series to basically grow a backbone. Oh, and his relationship with Keith is easily the single best part of the series.

Jeez, I can only choose one? Growing up in the 90s, I had Doug, Rugrats, Rocko's Modern Life, Dexter's Lab, Cow and Chicken, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, All That, Kenan & Kel, X-Men, Spiderman, Animaniacs, Aaaaah! Real Monsters, Angry Beavers..........

..........and you think I can choose ONE?!

I used this episode already, but Bojack Horseman, season 3, episode 10, "It's You." It's horrible, Bojack is a terrible person horse, but I love it so much.

If I can't reuse that, then Rick and Morty, "Meseeks and Destroy." The preceding episodes were all amazing, but this Eason 1, episode 5...uh, episode, is when I realized I was looking at something amazing.

The Interdimensional Cable episode is also rewatched a lot

Haven't seen BP yet, so:

1. Winter Soldier
2. The First Avenger
3. Iron Man
4. Guardians of the Galaxy
5. Spiderman Homecoming

So oh god Dexter. How did I forget Dexter and True Blood.

Heroes too, except, while I recognize it's awful, I still love the first four seasons. Not that reboot though.

Chuck

I know, I know, everybody freaking loves Chuck. Not me. I tried to get into it when it first came out but...nah. Never liked it.

And yet another shooting. Jesus.

So heres my unpopular opinion, Im a CHL holder and I believe in 2A.
But where that ends is that I know its way too easy to even obtain a license. Add to that, these parents whose kids get their guns and kill themselves or others, should action be taken agains them? It just seems to me if you are going to have a gun, you should have a fucking clue on how to handle it and certainly be aware of storing it away safely.
Im not suggesting thats what happened her either because I have no idea.

It's an AR-15. Again. Because it's always an AR-15. But god forbid we have a conversation about banning them, or any assault rifle really.

It's really simple. This is the 18th school shooting THIS YEAR already. No more dead children. It is far past time for stricter gun control and there's literally 0 reason not to pass legislation now towards that goal.

No more dead kids. Period.

Hey, I'm not single and I spent $0 today!


(Because we celebrated Sunday night because we thought I'd be working until 11 tonight today. $300 Melting Pot meal and flowers).

Stranger Things. And it took the full two seasons. I wasn't a believer yet after season one. I found it mildly entertaining, at best.

Season two I loved. Major improvement.

[Bojack Horseman, Season 3,Episode 10 - "It's You"]

I'm going to go with just one: Bojack Horseman, Season 3,
Episode 10 - "It's You"

Aaron Paul absolutely kills his line readings here. You have to understand, up until this point Todd has mostly been this comedy only character, who gets into different hijinx and antics but complements Bojack's cynicism and pessimism with a naive joy and optimism. Yeah, Bojack kind of sucks, but he's Todd's friend.

Then this happens. And it's so perfect. I, myself, thanks to my lovely Borderline Personality Disorder, have always identified with Bojack (thankfully, these days, to a far less extent, but I still remember when). So when Todd goes off on this monologue, it feels like he's talking to me. It's blunt and to the point. He leaves no room for Bojack to excuse his way out.

And that last "fuck, man" is also poignant because this show only uses the F-word once every season, so it always carries more weight and it's never wasted. This might be it's best usage.

Six Feet Under

Everyone. Everyone should watch this show. It should be required viewing. Even admitting that season...I think 3 or 4 gets a bit off track.

[Rick and Morty: Season 2 Episode 5 - Get Schwifty]

Rick and Morty: Season 2 Episode 5 - Get Schwifty

This episode, to me, feels like it's from another show entirely. Usually what makes Rick and Morty funny is just how much depth and substance there is, the little things you missed that you catch on rewatch. This episode has none of that. It just feels like "hey, let's do a riff on American Idol."

The b-story is ok, but this is easily the weakest episode for me. Definitely a slip on rewatch.
