I dunno, I don't recall him ranting about whiny fans very much on the podcasts. I do think he comes across as having a pretty high opinion of himself, but it didn't ruin the podcasts for me. OTOH, I have a low threshold for podcast quality since I only listen to them while doing something else.

I haven't heard every podcast, but I am somewhat surprised to hear he complained about the message boards. I don't recall him doing that in the ones I listened to.

I find the information he imparts generally is interesting. Note, I NEVER listen to them while watching the show, always after I watch the ep.

I don't remember him ranting about the message boards until S3, but it's possible I've blocked out his earlier stuff.

He's a total jackass, but sometimes he gives interesting info (talking about how the ep was originally concieved and the changes that were made along the way) so I keep listening.

I find it really interesting as well. One of the things I found interesting is how there wasn't a lot of forward planning with the story arcs which sometimes explains a lot.

But I thought the Cylons had a plan!

So we know that Ron Moore isn't a duck Cylon?

But I thought the Cylons had a plan!

Judging by what the Cylons have accomplished, not a very good plan, sort of like Cheney's plan for post war Iraq.

This is me, except I'd say "can be kind of a" jackass "sometimes." I do remember the podcast you're talking about, Matt, and I remember thinking @@, dude, comes with the territory, and just because you think it, doesn't mean you need to say it out loud. On a recording. If you engage with fans, you're going to get the horns sometimes.

Any Sarah Connor Chronicles fan needs to read this post about the last episode. It's so good it got linked on the official blog.

Also, so very tired of Sam having to constantly coddle and apologize to Andi, something I'd hoped was a thing of the past once she knew about the existence of the supernatural and its role in his life.

In all fairness, he was apologizing for something that was very real world- taking off and not telling her where he was. And he was an idiot for giving the letter to Sock to mail. She was right to be angry about that, because you don't give anything to Sock if you really want it to get done.

I was unhappy that the just "made up" at the end, because he might have a chance to get out of his deal with the Devil.

And was anyone else suspicious about that? Not that I wasn't happy to see Sean Patrick Thomas on my screen (theatre alum from my school, go Hoos!), but why wouldn't the Devil's device work? So if you sell your soul, but manage to get out of hell, you're free? WTF?
