If it requires kicking a puppy to get a conviction, you know Jack McCoy will kick the shit out of that puppy.

To be fair, it was the mid-aughts. We didn't know any better.

It's a standard trope that appeals to 13 year-olds, one of AMC's key demographics since they shifted from shows like Mad Men and Breaking Bad to The Walking Dead.

I'm intrigued by a future American South that has outlawed guns and is ruled in a pseudo-feudal system of barons and soldiers. But the kung-fu aspect kind of takes it to a weird place. I'll give it a chance at the least.

Money gets you in. It doesn't get you good grades (see George W. Bush)

Oh god, where to start with this one. Both of them are wrong. Star
Trek *was* political. But even dismissing that point entirely, I'd argue
that in a post-scarcity economy, neither Kirk nor Picard have any
distinct class. In fact, Kirk came from a long-line of Federation
officers while Picard bucked the trend and…

Funny you should mention that. I literally just watched about 20 minutes of his standup special on Showtime… and I'm not sure what people love about him. I'm glad he spearheaded stand-up comedy in S. Africa, but it doesn't make him a good comedian for an American audience. The audience wasn't even that into his…

So Trevor Noah had some comedy failures. God knows Stewart had a whole cavalcade of them them too. Except the difference is that when he took over TDS fromKilbourne, he had hit a huge stride in his career with a very popular HBO special then a book. He was the right guy at the right time. So far, *nothing* of Noah's…

I have to admit, I share his anger. Robin Williams' death hit me profoundly hard as I was once a comedic actor in theatre. After I realized how much I was chasing audience approval and destroying any real notion of self-identity is when I threw in the towel. I think if I went down his same path, I might have had…

I still like Rollins even though I vehemently disagree with him. He's still a hell of a lot more thoughtful in his musings than Gene Simmons.

Comparing the 5th episode of True Detective with what many have called the "true finale" of Breaking Bad (the finale 2 episode are considered by many to be simply "epilogue") might be an unfair comparison.

Hey, I like this song (albeit somewhat ironically). Beavis feels similarly:

Am I the only one who cared more about Veronica's detective abilities rather than who was fucking her? What a travesty to distort what made her such a compelling female character set apart from the usual Lori Grimes and Kate Austens of TV and make her identity contingent upon which dude has his dick in her.

Oh Tiggy.

I want to really like this show but the way the story has developed on top of the overall direction of the plot has me soured. Not only that, the B-stories don't seem to have a great deal of influence on the overall plot itself. They have not yet really connected Charlotte to the killings and plot other than folks…

After 5 seasons, I'm done watching this show for its original premise which was "Hamlet on motorcycles." Now it's just "That motorcycle show" for which I watch with my wife because despite the lack of Opie, she still finds the dudes hot and I like the manly fighting.

If I'm you, then we've got bigger problems than being forced to like Whedon

I decided one day that I needed to accept Whedon into my heart like some accept Jesus. All my friends love him unconditionally and my refusal to acknowledge his
greatness is always a point of contention. I don't *hate* him, but I never liked Buffy or Angel either and thought Dollhouse had potential. Firefly was…

I
really want to sympathize with Dave here. Being from a Jewish background, I would feel very
uncomfortable if a gentile audience member used the word, "kike,"
even in jest. But fame is a double-edged sword and as a professional who
built his career as an edgy performer,
you have to plow through, even if you dislike…
