I respect your opinion, but I have a different take. I enjoy Molly's getting fired up, because she's opinionated and articulate. As are Tom & Veronica. You may not agree, but you know how they arrive at their opinion. I for one like that they can occasionally rant, but that it's not a formuliac feature (5 minutes in - time to bloviate).
There's still much more light than heat, and the roles change depending on the subject. We're not talking about a hannity/colmes dynamic here. There's no alpha dog & punching bag.
I for one say, keep it passionate. It's good to hear people really engaged in the discussion. There are plenty of subdued folks doing yawn-casts if that's your preference.
As for Tom Molly & Veronica, I say occasionally do the cast before lunch, hunger & low blood sugar can make for animated conversations.... and if that's not enough, try snacking on chocolate covered coffee beans & Red Bull. :![]()
I dont know, its not that bad, but yesterday's episode was all about Molly's opinion. I I dont know, its not that bad, but yesterday's episode was one example of a few more, where Molly always seems to get the last word. Tom does an admirable job and i really really really love how he tries to play devil's advocate. But dont back down Tom! i can't tell you how many times a mini argument comes up and Tom has great points but it always ends up that Molly has the last word.
Having a dominating person on a show like this isn't a bad thing, you just need to have another person that is an equal and gives the balance. Like when Molly was on Twit... she didn't dominate, she held her own, but all the other guys balanced it out.
Also, i am not sure i like the format so much anymore... we need a change. For example, Tom reads the headline, molly dives in deeper and sets the tone, then they both jump in randomly to give opinion and then Tom provides segue. Switch it up a bit, OR ... how about Veronica read the headlines and then Tom and Molly can just dive in.
i dont know, i am in a bad mood this morning and the downtrodden show today brought me down more...
just thought we needed a change!
and for the record, i am a complete fan, i get in a complete horrible mood when i can't listen to my BOL on my morning commute (even driving back home 20 minutes when i forget to sync up my iPod.)
sorry for the rant...
