@flannel-slut I just knocked out 50 pages of The Name of the Wind — really killer so far, and I know I’m just getting started. Looking forward to getting into this one.

I was pretty impressed with myself when I came up with it somewhere in Oklahoma.

[GraemeE]

I'm in the same camp as Pop but that is a fucking solid top 5

This was next on my list. Masterpiece.

[flannel slut]

Talking Dexter on the TV thread made me think how some of my favorite television started w some very high highs and ended with low lows… in no particular order, my top 5 TV bipolar runs:
Dexter
Game of Thrones
Lost
Carnival
Heroes

[seawolf]

@flannel-slut Heroes had so much potential! Man, that show had such a great first season.

[Tago Mago]

@seawolf 110% this

[flannel slut]

[Matt]

@flannel-slut that’s a solid list. Carnival was good it just ended abruptly imo. Twin Peaks famously had bad 2nd season but that third season, flawless.

I think any show with a complex plot has trouble extending beyond the first couple seasons. X-Files is another good example.

I loved West Wing, terrible after Aaron Sorkin left.

[flannel slut]

Twin Peaks. That one has been on my radar for a while
