Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

This season feels so chopped up.

I've been trying to decide how much of that is the writing and how much is the fact we only see 2-3 episodes before some kind of break. All the interruptions can make it seem even choppier. I'm withholding final judgment until I can watch the DVDs straight through.

What is even happening?

For me, it's more the breaks. I didn't expect the last set of breaks. I don't know why. I think I was conflating it with VM being off the air too long, but then have a nice unbroken run through the season finale.

Yes, but in a creative bit of broadcasting, ABC will be airing it in 5 minute chunks over the course of the day.

Yes, but in a creative bit of broadcasting, ABC will be airing it in 5 minute chunks over the course of the day.

Perhaps interspersed with 5-7 minutes of recapped content and 40-some minutes of advertising.

How sad is it that I almost believed you?
