dbacksgirl February 24, 2014 Share February 24, 2014 There were two The Wires, which I was totally ok with though they made me teary sitting at my computer. Even though the NewsRadio episode didn't make it into the canon, it did finally get me to move it to the top of my queue. Now I just have to return the disc of Homeland I have. It may take a while... I'm not usually a week late, but I wanted to actually finish House of Cards before listening. I'm not a spoiler-phobe, but I actually think it really suffers if you know what's happening, which implies to me that the story's not really strong enough to carry it.

I'm guessing it was deleted because they wanted to just have this Mark II, but sometimes things are referenced to it, sometimes I feel like the EHG panelists assume everyone is a returning fan from back then, and I just really love listening to EHG and want more full episodes to sink my teeth into!

David T. Cole February 27, 2014 Author Share February 27, 2014 It's not a Mark I vs II at all. It's just a PITA it put back up. Podcasting host plans are priced for as-you-go-along predictable additions. Last I checked to put the backlog up on the service would be +$500 and that was before we finished Mark I's full run. I don't want to put them on BitTorrent as you can't really put the genie back in the bottle after that. Sometimes I throw a specific request on Dropbox for someone to download but that's not really practical for the whole run.

Cranberry March 1, 2014 Share March 1, 2014 I think teenaged me would have enjoyed Pretty Little Liars. The show's got its problems, but unlike the teen shows I was watching at the time, it doesn't pit the girls against each other in contrived love triangle situations. It's one of the best shows about female friendship on the air. Plus it doesn't treat its lesbian (main!) character as a token; her relationships are given the same respect as anyone else's on the show (actually, her current relationship is one of the more stable ones). Teenaged me also would have enjoyed the first season of Glee, maybe the second. But in this alternate reality, the show would have been cancelled after that, because bleh.
