Except Mike's? :eek:

I thought it was excellent episode and explains Jesse and Mike's relationship in BrBa. Fantastic acting by Jonathan Banks.
I felt the episode was very slow. Yes, It also explained how MacGill and Mike developed that relationship and not Jesse. But Yesterday's was really interesting, that Twist.

The pacing is deliberate that way.

And I meant Jesse. Mike is hesitant to take his responsibility at first (Season 2 of BrBa). But then, he almost becomes a protective fatherly figure for him over the course of BrBa. I assume it is that way because as 'Better Call Saul' shows us
he lost his son and he don't want that happen to Jesse.

^ It was awesome till S3, S4 was still worth watching but went downhill in last 2 seasons. I, for one, was completely disappointed with the end resolution. Totally unsatisfied. Some might disagree with me on this. And I guess this 'end' is the reason for low ratings. But boy, was it amazing till S3 or what!!!

Disclaimer: I have never watched LOST.

From what I've heard the ending (which focuses on the characters and not on the mysteries of the island), either sucks or is perfect ending, depending on who you ask. I have a feeling that I'd belong to first group.

Also the writers have admitted that they basically made stuff up as they went along instead of building up mysteries with resolutions or explanations in mind.

I consider that cheating and Sherlock S02 ending/cliffhanger is guilty of it as well. Of course I can't decide current shows on this criteria (a story told with a good or acceptable conclusion) but I refuse to start old shows if the ending is abysmal or if the show is cancelled on a cliffhanger.

^^ And there's the spoiler but you're heard right about that ending part and it was both awful and horrible IMHO, it's chain of screw ups in season 6, but you're gonna loved the show except last season :D

The ending just polarized the viewers. Most of them weren't satisfied. Still I'm not sure how else it should have been ended to get a satisfactory resolution. But I guess, as mentioned above, the writers just adding mysteries without themselves having any satisfactory conclusions lead to this. There just wasn't any better way for them to end it. Anyway, for whatever that's worth, the first 4 seasons were one of the finest TV shows in terms of keeping viewers hooked with mysteries and intrigue.

iZombie - Pilot was good. No over drawn origins story, going over all "pre-powers" details.
Looking forward to where they go from here. Given that it is based of comics, it will be interesting to see how "Mystery of the Week" works out. In comics they can run a particular arc for sometime instead.

The Season is being unnecessarily stretched. Before last sun episode, Two eps will were decent enough.

Watching Fringe. Now in S02. Very good i must say. Any reviews on Fringe?
Done with 17 episodes of Forever. Liked it very much.

Fringe is just like every other JJ Abrams show. Awesome for the first 2-3 seasons and then he overcomplicates things and ends up ruining the show for the fans.
