It's old news in that it's been all but confirmed for quite awhile. No one is surprised by this. In fact, most of us are thrilled by this.

Season 6 of Buffy: Jonathan is evil now? Weird. I'll admit its funny, but still a weird change.
Yeah, it was a weird direction to go, but he fits right in with the trio.
I've had the latest episode of Dexter on my computer since Sunday. So far, it's gone unwatched.
Pretty bad sign that I don't even give a fuck about the rest of the season at this point. I might just skip the show until the finale.[DOUBLEPOST=1379021262,1379021149][/DOUBLEPOST]
No. NO, there is no third season. It doesn't exist.

There are only two seasons of Gargoyles. The last episode was the finale with the three huntsmen and such.

Maybe it is for the best that the last season of a show is terrible. That way you won't miss it as much when it is gone.
That's honestly what the first two episodes looked like they were building into, Deb/everyone else vs. Dexter. How it turned into boring serial killer All in the Family is M. Night Shyamalan levels of terrible twist.
You know... Dexter used to be an intelligent character. He occasionally made mistakes because he'd underestimate a situation but there is no excuse for how moronic he has become and I place the blame firmly at the terrible writers that took over in season 6. The show has gone progressively down hill since then.
How it must suck for them that they are ending their series at its lowest point while Breaking Bad, also ending, just gets better and better.

Maybe we'll see how he gets Tugboat back.
And I have finally watched the "Once more with feeling" ep of Buffy, and with this and Dr Horrible its a wonder why Whedon hasn't made a damned broadway show so I can see it several times.
I've also seen the Angel episode with the guy who turns men into psycho misogynists and it was scary as hell!

Once More With Feeling, Normal Again and Hush are the only reasons that season 6 has a reason to exist.
I find it ironic that what are probably 3 of the best episodes of the entire series are in arguably it's weakest season.[DOUBLEPOST=1379298270,1379298120][/DOUBLEPOST]Except for The Body, of course. The Body transcends being a Buffy episode and just being a shining moment of drama on television.

Clancy Brown getting his head chopped off was a nice bit of candy thrown to SF&F fans, though.
Veronica Mars Season 2. I love these characters so much, except for Duncan, he's duller than Riley from Buffy. Four episodes in, and it's already apparent that it's not as good as the first season. I'm still enjoying it, and I find it hard to fault it for not matching the incredibly high bar set with season 1. It's not just riding the coat tails so that's a plus (although, that would require ratings).

Yeah, but he was the best character in the thing and now he's not.
Yeah, Season 1 was definitely the highest point of the show. Season 2 has its moments and it's not even that bad. It just has the problem of following up Season 1. Plus - and I won't spoil anything - but the villain reveal at the end of this season is not only disappointing, but nowhere NEAR as well planted or hinted as Season 1.[DOUBLEPOST=1379444931,1379444865][/DOUBLEPOST]
See also, the dude that played the sheriff in the first episode of Under the Dome. Same guy that played Lapidus in Lost. And of course, they kill him off right out of the gate, losing who was already the only interesting character in the show. No wonder I gave up on it.
Written, produced and created by Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, the fucking plague of big and small screens everywhere.
I just watched Legends part one of Justice league and I FINALLY get what the Streak meant when he said to John Stewart "You're a credit to your people." Being an adult is fun.
Also I find Beware the Batman good...but I ain't that attached. I mean yeah its cool that he's fighting obscure villains rather than the same ones since the 60s, but other than that I just can't find myself to care that much. Honestly I'm just hoping for a Green Lantern cross over...and a damn third season to Green Lantern but that goes without saying.

Brooklyn Nine Nine, Andy Samberg's new cop sitcom on Fox had me in stitches. Not all of the jokes were winners, but enough were to have me wanting more.
It was good stuff, especially for a pilot. Even the best comedy shows start with mediocre pilots. I'm stoked to see how the cast and writing grows.

How similar to Barney Miller is Brooklyn Nine-Nine?
Barney Miller is before my time, so I'm not sure. They're both sitcoms that have cops in it, that's all I can tell you.
So, just watched It's Always Sunny and The League back to back. The League this season has been....terrible at best while the opposite is true for IASIP. Every episode this season has had me doubled over laughing at least a couple of times. This latest episode delves into their own take on why they have zero presence in the awards scene and it's....well, pretty wonderful. Seriously, if at least Kaitlin (I fucking hate this name, there's like 1200 way to spell it) Olsen isn't nominated for best actress in a comedy this year, the whole thing is a sham. It's a little blatant most of the episode (and it would have been nice to lampoon DeVito's Emmy laden past) but was still hilarious.
Also, because apparently I'm stupid, I'm being made to watch season one of Mad Men. I've only seen two episodes and never gave the show a chance and my girlfriend is convinced I have to watch it with her. There are worse fates I suppose.

30 Rock: I think I've found what will be my favorite episode. Leap Day. It's so bizarre and in tune with its own universe. The jokes are spot-on. It almost feels like a Community episode in how masterfully it sends up holiday crap. I especially loved the fake Jim Carrey movie they kept running clips of throughout the episode.
There probably are. Worst case you descend into madness trying to figure out why people and critics love the show. Most likely you'll just be bored to tears.

Yep. Just count the minutes until it's over, hoping that the yawning desert will occasionally yield up the red-headed oasis of Christina Hendricks. But one day even that won't be enough. At least it wasn't for me.
