A former co-worker of mine appeared on X-Factor croaking a horrific version of a David Gueta song. They dismantled her, but gently, because even Simon Cowell could see that she possessed no level of self-awareness whatsoever. People want to be on TV primarily. Having a good reason for being on TV comes later, if at…

High-concept sci-fi police procedurals? Fox picks them up, and discards them like Kleenex.

The most depressing result of Obama making gestures towards gun control is it sends gun nuts running to buy more guns, trying to get all they can before some imaginary gun ban.

They're still setting the table right now, so it's hard to know what parts of the show will become significant, and which will be less so. I wasn't expecting so much school stuff, but as that kind of thing is never seen in entertainment, I was okay with it.

Plus, she's an Award-Winning Actress now, so she's likely to put the music career on the back burner.

I try to watch Palladia. I think the last thing I saw was a Bob Marley documentary, or a Florence & the Machine concert. Way too many repeats of stuff like Jason Mraz at Daryl Hall's House and whatnot.

I saw this on MSNBC the other night. They said that MTV had provided the clip. God bless you, Bowie. And way to hang out Mark Goodman, MTV.

This is why Fishburne's been missing blackish episodes? Okay…

Peyton Manning (to the tune of the Nationwide jingle): There, you Al-Jazeera fucks…

It takes a special kind of failure to fail with the same show twice. Here's to ya, Mr. Kring.

I agree that, leaving aside the actresses' rift, it was time for Kalinda to go. Her character was becoming predictable, and resisted the numerous attempts to flesh her out. What I reject was the attempt to con fans of the show with such blatant, cheesy farewell scene that tried to convince us Margulies and Panjabi…

The Good Wife's jump-the-shark moment? Green-screen goodbyes.

Mostly, this episode was terrible. I would have much preferred to see Alicia deal with Eli's revelation at home rather than have it supported by some broad would-be comedy in Iowa. I don't care one bit about Peter's ill-fated run for president, and I hope now we've seen the end of it. If the show wants to remain…

What a shock. I was planning on checking out his new record this week. Such a towering figure in the music field, and not just the music field. He'll be missed.

Although Iron Man is major in the MCU, he has never been a big seller in comics, in spite of some good runs by people like Busiek and Fraction. It seems like Bendis took Iron Man on a dare because of that, and sort of succeeded. But I think David Marquez's art is just as responsible.

Spidey has been hurt by just years and years of mediocre writing (Gerry Conway in the 70's, Howard Mackie in the 90's), and would-be events that just proved headache-inducing (Clone Sagas, etc.).

The Hiketia was so excellent it spoiled me. Why can't Wonder Woman stories be this good all the time? I'm telling you: Morrison and Paquette need to bring it with their Earth One story.

Yes, I know it's in bad taste, but here's a thought that occurred to me while slogging through some of the more redundant trial segments of Making a Murderer: Who would the killer be if this were a Dick Wolf or David E. Kelley TV show?

Like I said earlier this week, most of the lawyers and cops here were a rogues gallery of sleazy scumbags. Kratz and Len Katchinsky were the only ones who got the slightest taste of a comeuppance following the Avery/Dassey trials, but they're still trying to justify themselves. Both of them struggled with softball…

Shit. No comics projects mentioned at all. How about Black Panther by Ta-Nehisi Coates and Brian Stelfreeze? Not since Harlan Ellison's work for Marvel in the 70's, or Kevin Smith's runs on Marvel and DC series a few years ago, has a writer with such mainstream recognition been slated to do comics work.
