A 10% levy on BAKED GOODS?!

I'm glad there's only 13 episodes each season. I really liked shows like Buffy and Supernatural but newer HBO/AMC/etc shows have ruined the 24 episode seasons for me. They're too filled with meaningless monster of the week episodes where at the best case they're decent filler, but still filler.

Worst case they don't resonate with you and just drag the main plot down. Give me 13 episodes where there can still be a MOTW but it at the least has some plot progression in the background at the same time.

That's good because 99% of the time it is heroin they are offering.

Also, I am loving how snarky Ichabod is proving to be.

The first 8 minutes of the next episode are on Hulu. Note that discussion about these 8 minutes should be spoiler tagged.

A 22 episode season order is what destroyed Twin Peaks. Its first season, which was only 7, was some of the greatest television ever. I am behind this.


Anyway, I got caught up on all 5 episodes so far. What a charmingly outrageous show.

I think I remember reading that the show creators had the option of either a "full season" order (22 eps or whatever) or fewer eps and an instant renewal for a 2nd season, and they went for instant renewal.

Well, since they want to go for a full 7 seasons, I guess it makes sense that they jumped at the chance for an instant renewal. I hope the season keeps on being as good as it's been.

Oh, yeah, Orlando Jones posted this on his tumblr.

Except for the final episode of Season 2 of Twin Peaks, which is among the greatest TV ever made.

I love that the exclusive includes the minute of explanation from the beginning of every episode. Also the horseman is just begging to be in a fighting game with his looped pose in the title card.

Not all of Season 2 was bad. A lot of it was great. You know when it got bad. I agree, the finale was phenomenal.

Alright hiatus(should be) over this Monday, which means the (non)surprise appearance of John Noble!
Also, Orlando Jones' tumblr is really something to see. It's a way of reaching out to fans and probably tempers the fandom reactions. Plus he seems like a really cool guy, though he seemed like that in MadTV and Evolution too so, not something new to me.

Also, in the spirit of the world series:

I picture the Horseman rounding third and heading for home as the ball is being thrown in from the outfield, right before the catcher catches it the Horseman pulls the shotgun off his back and shoots him.

Just watched the pilot again on the FX marathon. Headless Horseman with a shotgun and assault rifle is still awesome.

Pound for pound it might be one of the most enjoyable drama pilots that I've seen in recent times.
