Breh, half the shyt I listed I either didn't notice or didn't care about. Including Skype. I'm just keeping it 100 with both sides of the discussion.
And what I meant was, half the shyt that people are arguing about the writers admit was legit problems or flaws. All season I been saying that Brody's story was kinda spinning it's wheels and maybe he should die. And someone responded "at you dumb asses thinking they'll kill off Brody, he has so much story left"....then a couple days ago the writers admit they wanted to kill him off in ep 7 because they wasn't sure what to do with him, and might not even have him back next year. shyt like that. I'm not saying go read 100 interviews or listen to every podcast, but a few of the arguments in this thread (not necessarily you, just in general) could be easily avoided by being knowledgeable about the show outside of just watching it.
Fred.
I don't know man. I've just always been big on judging shows at the end of the season than during. I also felt Brody's arc needed some sort of resolution for the mere fact that having him around limited the writers. But I was going to wait and see how things played out. Jesse was gonna be killed off early on BB, but they changed their mind and dude ended up winning an Emmy. I see a very limited role for him for the next season or two with these writers hopefully coming up with a genius way to bring him back a couple season from now. The way they brought back Brody's suicide tape makes me feel like they can pull it off.Like I've said, I don't stan or cape for any show (except for maybe Mad Men
) but when it comes to critiquing any show, I need the critique to be concrete, substantive shyt like the writing, plot, character development, pacing and cinematography. I'm sure Gansa commented on the flaws brought up, but I think with a lot of these podcasts and interviews there's a lot of stroking of the fans egos. Acknowledging fan gripes does more for them than ignoring those gripes.
Like I said before, comparing shows or seasons isn't something I like to do unless both shows have had their series finale. That said, there's nikkas on this board who stan gaming consoles, so I really don't doubt that there are nikkas that stan TV shows and let that stannery affect their critique of other shows. 
You're better than that Fred. 
a nikka that actually came through with some informed and substantive criticism. This is what I've been asking for the whole time. Potent posting, breh 
That said, I said before, the dynamic of season 1 was impossible to recreate. Nothing can replicate newness. And the worst thing they could try to do is keep that dynamic going. The story itself didn't give them any way to keep that going. I completely agree that this season wasn't as tense and suspenseful, but I feel it was more emotional though. Carie breaking Brody. Their goodbye at the end. The convo between Carrie and Nazir. Thanks for the Inception-level posting, breh. Even if you are a Eagles fan 
on my face.
