22:03 <@ejp> You know, I really really much prefer The Wire's one case=one season flow instead of all the other crime shows's one case=one SHOW pace.
22:12 < solios> yes, one case one season is fantastic.
22:13 <@ejp> medical stuff like house can get away with. crime stuff it's just stupid.
22:13 <@ejp> I never realized *how* stupid until The Wire.
22:13 <@ejp> I CAN HAS SEEN TEH LITE!
22:13 < solios> yup.
22:13 <@bda> Louis and I were talking about The Wire at lunch, trying to get Jenn to watch it.
22:13 <@ejp> AND IT WAS GUD! NOM NOM NOM
22:14 < solios> the 42 Minute Formula is shit. I piss on its grave.
22:14 <@bda> Indeed.
22:15 < solios> I love The Wire not just because it's good, but because it's the first show that has an attention span similar to mine.
22:16 < solios> B5 did a good job with the Overplot but was still ultimately a bunch of episodes with a few scenes of a longer story interlinked. I haven't seen any scifi that gets close to The Wire's intricacy.
22:18 <@bda> solios: BSG coulda. Pity about the suck.
22:22 < solios> bda: yeah, BSG almost went there.
22:22 < solios> then it decided it would rather be a shitty fire-and-forget soap opera.
22:23 <@bda> "Hey, you know what isn't interesting at all? The plot. Let's go pretend we're As the Spacecruiser Turns and shit."
