[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 258458, member: 23"] Oops. I couldn't think of another way to describe it. It does make me wonder what the manufacturers were thinking. Oh, I wouldn't worry at all. I'd far prefer to take a few little organic detours than post in a vacuum. Yes. I know what you mean, and I'm guilty of doing something similar with post-2000 series, where I can feel weary at the thought of quick cuts to editing, fast talking and short scenes, which is a sweeping generalisation but does kind of cover why I frequently lean more towards older stuff. [I]TBW[/I] is possibly guilty of some of the tropes you mention. It's primarily episodic and now that I'm past the introductory story arcs I suspect there'll be a degree of syndication-friendly static, where the reset button is hit in time for the obligatory denouement. Because of the nature of the series, my biggest gripe is with the SFX. Fortunately, they're not being used too liberally and there's a lot of enjoyable character stuff which has made it worth watching for me. [/QUOTE]
