Oh, sorry. Did9n't know you hadn't seen them yet.

Well the only thing you mentioned is that Dark Macguffin appears in the finale and, to be honest, I was pretty sure that was gonna happen anyway.

You didn't hear anything.

Diem walked back home that day, but try as he might he could not remember any details of the finale of Transformers: Prime. Or his father's name.

You had me, for the most part, up until this line.

Here's the thing, if you ever want to stop watching and reviewing a series you find difficult to watch, it's okay, we've got you covered, and we've also covered the entire first season. So the old saying comes into play here: Don't like, don't watch.

But what's the fun in bashing something I do like? I have to at least get to the Wheeljack episode, I can't wait to get my teeth into that one.

Who says you have to 'bash' something you like? Review something you like and sing its praises to the moon and beyond!

It makes for better comedy.

To be honest... no. It often doesn't. Or it makes for a subpar review. If you review something you like, there's energy, there's a positive attitude... and I am really getting sick of negative reviews.

I'm not saying to stop if you want to keep going, but is it worth it?

Well if you want relentlessly positive reviews go to BWTF.com!

I get what you're saying. But I at least think that I'm bringing energy to these reviews, however weary I claim to be. And as I've discussed with Sabrblade I intend to review Prime's better episodes as well...I just want to knock over a few ivory towers along the way.

Ya gotta admit, RK, these initial episodes of Prime really aren't much to shake a stick at (really hoping I worded that right ).

Correct phrase, yes. As for the quality, I don't watch much of Prime. It hasn't grabbed me like Animated or Beast Wars or G1. I like it when I see it, but it's just not at the top of my list.

It got much better in its second half. That's why I keep saying that the first 11 episodes cripple its greatness. By episode 12, things improve A LOT.
