Re: Least favorite season of your favorite shows
I can't decide which one I like less: greatness sprinkled in with terribad (season 3) or goodness sprinkled in with average (season 4).
Re: Least favorite season of your favorite shows
(Anonymous) 2013-03-11 02:08 am (UTC)(link)I also liked season 3 a lot better when I rewatched it, it was weirdly depressing in my first watch but the second time around I think I caught more of the jokes.
Like in a way I do enjoy the change in tone because the characters were getting massively unlikable (which isn't a huge problem for me because I watch a lot of comedies with unlikeable characters) and I like that things are feeling a bit more grounded, I just want the jokes to hit more often then they are hitting. Forgettable is a good word for it, because I just watch the episodes and then don't really care to talk about them or see them again.
Re: Least favorite season of your favorite shows
One thing I am fond of is that I feel like I am watching season 4 get better as it goes on. Thursday's A-plot, especially the speech at the end, to me was fantastic and true, and it was really the first time this season that I said to myself "wow, that's gonna stick with me for a while." I don't usually care as much about Jeff, and I haven't really cared about his daddy issues since Intermediate Documentary Filmmaking (one of my fave eps ever tho) so I do give the show a lot of credit for pulling on my heart like that despite all the shit the show has been through recently. I feel like they're finding their footing a bit. I am sad that the season is so short, I feel like if they had been given twenty-some episodes they would really have had a chance to find their footing and shine for longer than I think they'll get a chance to now.
I feel like season 4 only has a great grasp on a few characters per episode, it doesn't feel as much like an ensemble show anymore, but again I do feel it is getting better as time goes on.
Much of the tail end of season 3 is inexcusable to me, especially Britta's character assassination and the Chang as dictator plot. I feel bad for the showrunners who have had to do damage control in season 4 because of these choices that were so out there. For me thus far season 4's greatest failings have been in trying to clean up season 3 weird choices (such as Troy/Britta) so for me I would rank season 3 as worse. . .tentatively and I say that as someone who absolutely adores a lot of season 3.
Or, well, but. . .ugh it's a hard decision. Sigh. I really won't know how to rank it until season 4 has run its course. I am still giving it the benefit of the doubt also, especially since Jeff's speech on Thursday turned me into a jelly ball of emotions. But the show could use to be funnier.
And the gay jokes need to stop like yesterday.
