@prosenikov Apple TV seems to release the episodes earlier then they originally scheduled. In the future, please contact support with any data issues, don't post in the comments.

Number 5 went 10 days back in time before another apocalypse. So it does feel like season 1 in some cases. Otherwise the season starts really good. Even if it is a little slower than season 1.

Star Trek: The Next Generation: 1x02 The Naked Now

This is a remake of an episode from the original series; like many remakes, it's inferior to the original. While this one has its moments, some disturbing content--especially implied sexual relations between Data and a human woman--messed this up for me. The language was actually rather clean...until the last scene or two; then they fouled it up.

Content Concerns:
Sex: Implied sex between a male-type android and a human woman; Data is stopped short before making a crude joke. 2/5
Nudity: A woman is seen wearing an outfit that displays her midriff, her back, and a bit of the lower part of her chest. 3/5
Language: Four or so d-words; one or two h-words; two or three misuses of God's name. 2/5
Violence: Sci-fi action violence throughout. 3/5
Drugs: It is said that the reactions that the crew has are like being intoxicated. 4/5
Frightening/Intense Scenes: Plenty of emotional intensity; the ship nearly gets destroyed; Geordi is seen without his visor. 3/5

Score: 3/5

WHAT AN AMAZING EPISODE
Glenn, we all gonna miss you but I've just to say that they couldn't let down the comic fans, it was just his destiny; just go back and re-watch the entire series, in different occasions they play with his death or his fate being hit by Lucille.
For what concerns Abraham, he could confirm the Orange Crush theory, he was loved by the fans but not so much in order to completely shock them (see Daryl's or Carl's fans... they are really tough and dangerous (just kidding) fans, ha)... what I mean is that two deaths are the best way not only to give the proper Glenn's death to the comic fans, but also the death of one of the most loved characters... all this waiting, hype and misterious death theories and then what? Glenn dying? just like in the comics? well, if so you could have killed him right in episode 7x16, but adding Abraham to the "Lucille scene" it makes a lot more sense to me!
Shame on who spoiled (1/2- 2 months ago) the number of deaths and Carl "losing a hand"! it seems to be one of the crew members!

How I Met Your Mother: 8x06 Splitsville

Reply by Justin NemethDirector

6.8/10. This is a hard one to judge. There's so much mixed up, broad humor in the episode that doesn't work particularly well, most of it centered around Nick. But there's also some of the classic comedy of the gang just pal-ing around with one another that really does. And hey, I may be a Barney-Robin skeptic, but NPH absolutely kills Barney's big speech to Nick about being in love with Robin. It's those sort of earnest, or at least earnest-seeming moments from an otherwise cartoonish character that have been missing all too often in the various love stories the show's tried to pull of between the two characters. Of course, Barney claims it's a feint so they can draw out the romantic tension for longer, but it's still a great moment.

That said, the side bits were pretty funny. Ted trying to be braggy about a pickup basketball league is the kind of goofy, self-depricating humor that works. And while the virulent anti-Patrice shtick is one of my least favorite running gags on the show, Barney's "BFF day invitation" threat feels true to the character and enjoyable. And while Marshall's similar basketball obsession is also broad, Lily continuing to bring up elaborate details about the Danish exchange student is just silly enough to work, and Ted looking after Marvin so Marshall and Lily can have sex is oddly sweet. Overall, there's just a smidge too much dumb humor for this episode to be considered good but there's still some pretty good stuff there.

SPOILERS FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON BELOW. DO NOT READ BELOW HERE IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW THE SEASON ENDS

I forget is Barney's speech is part of "The Robin" or not. "The Robin" really infuriated me as to how horrible it was and kind of broke my faith in the show, so I'm at a weird crossroads not remembering how it began exactly. If Barney's speech is real (and I think it's at least, partially real, right?) then it's still a nice moment to bring the two of them back together, but if it's part of that freaking insane scheme, than the whole damn thing is kind of tainted.

@andrewbloom @ds1 FYI, I'll be pushing a change this week that won't auto reveal inline spoilers. I think this is a good option to try first and should allow spoilers to be always marked inline, but the top level comment will auto reveal if they watched the item.

Tyrell is so bizarre. They may have gone a little out of hand with the amount of bizarre things related to that man. I think the whole idea of this episode was to introduce him as a character.
The whole debugging analogy is worth watching the episode.

Totally agree, I think they took it too far in a couple scenes. I had to double check this actually airs on USA on basic cable.
