Haven't posted in a while, but I had to comment on this season of N/T, especially after Tuesday's episode. Wow. For three years, they've been telling me that THIS year is going to be just as good as the first two. Season three came. It was a huge letdown. Season four came. It was boring. So I definitely had my doubts going into season five. OMG, I've never been happier to be wrong. Minor plotholes aside, this season has finally brought the show back to it's original "can't wait for next week" greatness. Mixing over-the-top storylines with realistic acting and many overlapping arcs, THIS feels like the show I was watching in 2004. When Gina "fell" off the building at the end, I felt like I did when I found out that Ava and Adian were sleeping together. Or when Christian's baby came out black. Or even when the Carver ended up at Christian's apartment. This show has a brilliant way of blending the obsurd with the poetic and, this season especially, it's really brought out the best of everyone involved.
Damn writer's strike.
