I allow it because it makes it a lot easier for people to comment, but sometimes not being able to put a name to a comment leads to wacky situations like this one.<br /><br />And thanks for the compliments, too.maxpower03https://www.blogger.com/profile/11951553958753040457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4730608556280912177.post-53656991611453054372012-07-02T12:36:31.947-07:002012-07-02T12:36:31.947-07:00Exactly!

I should have opened my comment by first saying I liked the review so it didn't come off as cold or sarcastic because that wasn't the intent. <br /><br />I know you guys aren't script writers or anything like that & I agree the convenient plot device of Jasmine's name popping up in this episode was lazy, but like you said she had to be defeated eventually. <br /><br />The intent behind me asking what would you do was just out of genuine curiosity because I've read most of your reviews & you seem to have great insight & I love when reviewers or analyzers give their ideas.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4730608556280912177.post-51732009574744174642012-06-28T15:24:05.853-07:002012-06-28T15:24:05.853-07:00Anonymous Ah, I get you now.

Like Panda said, I'm not in a position to offer suggestions on how the Jasmine thing should have gone down, but I'm not a fan of that particular plot device, where something just miraculously appears out of nowhere to save the day. It's just a little lazy.<br /><br /><b>Panda</b> Great comments, and in total agreement here. I'm still assuming Anonymous' comments were light-hearted, so I don't think there was any negative intention or whatever. It's just one of those annoying things where intent and tone don't work through text, you know?<br /><br />But wonderful statement nonetheless, Panda.maxpower03https://www.blogger.com/profile/11951553958753040457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4730608556280912177.post-5626560602058990252012-06-28T04:55:38.508-07:002012-06-28T04:55:38.508-07:00I can't speak for Adam, but when your write in...I can't speak for Adam, but when your write in a forum like this, most of the time you're not going around boasting that you yourself have some great alternative to make an episode run better or become more effective, you're just writing about your own feelings and thoughts about a particular piece of television. We're not television/script writers, we're just writing about how well we felt the episode worked for us, and in this case, he felt like it didn't. <br /><br />Sure, sometimes you can think of a few ideas to make something run more efficiently, but in some instances it's not quite as cut and paste as that. In some cases, it might be better for an episode to not exist at all. It's a little unfair to demand something like that from someone who's just offering up their own opinion on something. If you didn't like a meal at a restaurant would you head into the kitchen to show them how to cook it better, or what ingredients to use?<br /><br />Again, that's just how I see it.Pandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06278058860653997977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4730608556280912177.post-74790061236170176802012-06-27T18:16:01.478-07:002012-06-27T18:16:01.478-07:00No it wasn't.
