We love the series here, but don’t pretend it’s great TV. And Bruce Campbell and Matt Frewer seldom disappoint. ---

**"And the Fables of Doom": first episode of 2015.** I just watched this episode last night and was pretty blown away by it. I found myself smiling and laughing a lot. This is the best episode of this series yet IMHO. The way all of the characters gradually morphed into fairy tale characters was pretty funny. For quite a while, I couldn’t figure out why all the women were fawning over Casandra until they said that she was Prince Charming. (Interesting gender-swap on the fairy tale.) And seeing Eve gradually transform into Cinderella (Her shoe kept falling off 🙂 ) was pretty funny. “Why am I fighting in high heels?!?!” J. ---

I missed the second episode but liked the pilot and the third (or 1 and 4). Most of the third episode, though, made me think of Warehouse 13 and John Laroquette was much like Artie, I thought. I’ll keep watching, though, because I miss it. Bob ---

I don’t know if anyone other than me is still watching this, but I DVRed yesterday’s episodes, and as many times as I replay it I just can’t catch what name Morgan le Fay called Jenkins, I’m sure it is important, but I can’t figure out what she is saying. ---

I’m new here, first post, and don’t want to state the obvious, but since his name is Du-laque, isn’t that pretty much a give-away (Launcelot du Lac)? ---

> [@carnivorousplant](#): > > Yes, but a shame to miss Bob Newhart in the first one. 🙂 Last weekend TNT ran one of the movies, but apparently it was the 2nd one (King Solomon’s Mines). It was kinda fun to watch, in a goofier take on Indiana Jones sort of way. Bob’s role wasn’t very big, but still good. This weekend they’re showing another one, or so the cable guide tells me. ---

ok - the finale turned out even better than anticipated - I hope my wife never finds this but - The red witch - hubba hubba — that’s the Scarlet Witch reborn! Be quiet - I’m doing math. ---

I liked the finale weekend, and the season in general. Although a ten episode season left a weird approach to the unifying arc; the whole Camelot thing of course Although I don’t really mind, it seemed like it was more likely to end up silly-dumb rather than silly-fun if they really centered on it too much. It kind of reminded me of a D&D campaign where a new DM has to take it over, and doesn’t really like the Main plot so they just kind of ignore it mostly, and awkwardly tie it back in when they remember, then wrap it up incidentally. I am very curious what they are planning to do to continue the franchise. Will it focus on the one or the three, or flit around between all four? Will it continue the arc in some way, or has it been resolved? And will the continue with 10 episode seasons, which forces tighter storytelling, or try to get a more standard 20+ episode season, which allows for more detailed characterization, but can wander focus into stupid. ---

All are very good questions which deserve good answers. Right now, though, I want to know if we’re even getting a second season.
