the weekly thread turns into the typical "omg why am i watching" crap that pollutes this board with about 90% of the shows discussed here

The extreme laziness of the scripts the last few seasons has rarely been mentioned here (except a few times by me). I dont read the thread every week, but usually when I click it there are a lot of people praising this thing like its in a league with real high quality shows.

Obviously. Good writing makes this easy for the viewer. We should feel like it is totally reasonable for him to get away with this stuff in the universe they create. This was the case in the first couple of seasons. But the coincidences and preposterous situations and miracles are just out of control.

I think they are going for campy kitsch at this point. They essentially make no attempt to create believability. Lazy to the max.
