  I suppose it’s the natural result of wanting to keep the show on as long as possible, when you’ve only got one good idea for the story arc. You need a lot of filler.

  I’d like to see more shows done in the style of Babylon 5, where the creator had the whole 5 years written out from day 1. There was very little in the show that felt like filler or treading water.

  Which also may explain why books are being brought to TV more frequently these days. But, TV showrunners have a bad habit of taking a good novel and totally mangling it in the translation to TV, so it’s not a guaranteed win.

  I generally find watching in release order tends to work better that chronological order at least the first time thru. The episodes are written assuming you aware of future events depicted in previous shows, if you aren’t they tend to lose a lot of their impact.

  Congrats for getting thru TAS, I have tried and I just can’t.

  Honestly, mostly a non issue, if the email didn’t contain any sensitive info.

  Your email address isn’t secret, and will be scraped up by spammers sooner or later anyway. Security by obscurity is basically no security at all.
