Oh, for sure. James Purefoy was so good that he made me watch like six episodes of The Following (a wretched, just god-awful crime drama on FOX he was in with Kevin Bacon) purely on the strength of that performance. But he made up for it with another great role in Hap & Leonard afterward. :)

Also, I’m not sure if anybody has Rome DVDs anymore, but the episode commentaries (especially those from historical consultant Jonathan Stamp) were really interesting and worth a listen.
Just started another one of my own (and sadly am almost halfway through) so I endorse this plan in the strongest possible terms.
Or maybe Vanvod would be a more progressive-metal choice?
I think it was Terry Pratchett who once described the phenomenon that best illustrates Chicago winters for this native son: the “lazy wind.” (So called because it’s too lazy to go around, so it just blows right through you.) The term “bitter cold” also pops up with some regularity because when it’s one. stinking.…
I mean, nobody was tuning in to find out what was going on with Archer and Lana’s baby, but... not a single line of dialogue about the now three-year-old daughter the two of them share? Hard to square with the idea that this is the season Archer finally embraces adult responsibilities. I am confuse.
Hot and at your door within 30 minutes after a brief online-only interaction?
Frankly when you have a handsome product like this at your disposal, you’ll use any excuse to take it out and show it off! https://www.walmart.com/ip/Star-Trek-Enterprise-NCC-1701-Pizza-Cutter/48202333
Say what you will about the CW, they’ve found a machine that pays out and they’re gonna keep pulling that lever until it stops.
Yeah, that’s really one of Lois Lane’s defining traits, is her insecurity. <blink>
She’s a great actress. I thought she was badly served by the first 2-3 seasons of Grimm, stuck with a walking obstacle of a character that nobody was interested in, and who was always trapped outside all the meaty plot action because of “secret identity” crap. So I’m looking forward to seeing her in the thick of…
Re: Chicago, a friend of mine hates that the broader metro area is often called “Chicagoland.” He says it makes it sounds like a crappy theme park. My usual reply is that the rides are bullshit but the concessions are awesome.
Good advice here, especially about eye contact. A lot of cat haters at parties are annoyed to discover that the cat who lives at the house they’re visiting zeroes in on them for attention, while ignoring or shying away from the lovey-dovey, want-to-play-with-kitty types in attendance. Cornering or crowding a cat is…
What I recall of the early marketing of ND played fairly coy about whether there were supernatural elements, but definitely hyped the fact that Nancy liked to get biz-zay... consistently, and thoroughly. (Which seems a little silly given how fundamental the supernatural aspects are to the show pretty early on, but I…
From a Facebook post I made a little less than one year ago...
But seriously folks... drunk driving. What’s up with that?
It reminded me a lot of watching Derry Girls for the first time, I tend to be bored by high school kids and their relationship problems so I basically tuned in for the ‘90s nostalgia as filtered through Ireland, but the characters won me over immediately. I also prefer when teen-centered shows don’t make all the adult…
Piper and Davis’s work-sibling rivalry was one of the best smaller through-lines of the last couple of seasons. I was really glad she used her one wish to bring him back.
Cougar Town, despite its awful name, was a fun hangout comedy of exactly the type Bill Lawrence does well. Worth looking up.
