It feels like the kind of thing that everyone would roll their eyes at CC for these days, but I guess that it worked for audiences more in the 90's, these days it feels really self-indulgent
Gah, the monologues are *so bad*. Did we really think that they were deep and profoud back in the 90's? :D
They all felt competently done at least, but nothing particularly inspired either.
There were a lot of filler episodes in season 3. They're not reall that bad, just repetitive. I mean, how many ghost-avenges-its-death episodes did it have?
it's easy to forget that they were never intending for audiences back then to watch all of the MOTW episodes one after the other
True. And if you didn't record all the episodes, it was unlikely that you'd ever rewatch all of them either, so you were likely to see only the 'hits' again while the misses got forgotten.
(and yes, on my last rewatch I did skip about half of season 3)
There was a bit of a pacing issue with placing such similar episodes one after the other anyway, and it didn't do any favours to Syzygy as an episode
yeah, definitely. SYzygy would be a much better episode if it didn't come right after WotC, which treaded much of the same themes, only better.
You could really tell that a lot of the episode was rewritten by Darin Morgan
Oh, I didn't know that. Definitely explains a lot.
I've found myself enjoying the mythology episodes more than I was expecting on this re-watch actually.
It was the same for me on my last rewatch as well. Especially in season 3, when I thought that the mytharc was definitely stronger than the MotWs.
