Firstly he is actually a pretty good dramatic actor, I think the Extras christmas special convinced me of that. Secondly above all else the show is worth watching for Karl who is really hilarious as Dougie. When he left after the first ep of season 1 the show declined.

He was combin' it and it come off.

When the show first started I realized Derek was based on a joke from Gervais' stand-up as he discribed autograph hunters with Derek's haircut and posture, and since Derek is an autograph hunter I think that's where the idea came from. I just saw the second season and while it wasn't as good as the first (which was…

When I was watching the show (I watched seasons 4-7 last year) I remember thinking that season 4 took a good 4 eps before it really started to get going but once it does its really amazing. Anyway for anyone who hasn't finished the show yet, you're in for a real treat. The next 4 seasons are all truly terrific and…

This might be my favourite episode of the season. Erlich had line of the night with the reporter "how long do you think it would take you to jerk off every guy here?' It was great to see Pied Piper get a win, and I thought him throwing up afterward was a pretty perfect ending. Also was cool to see Dunder Mifflin's own…

There was one of these articles I read ages ago and haven't been able to find since. I think it was about bold moves in TV, or deaths in TV, and one of the entries (might have been number 1) was how The Shield killed its main character in the first episode. Does anyone remember that article or know how to find it?

"I'd rather kiss a toilet seat." Damn I loved that movie when I was a kid.

How could I not watch that? And I'm sick as a Dog (of the Snoop variety) right now so this cheered me up some. That was hilarious.

This is why there is really no point to it. Blood vs Water is fine, and I think having a family member blindside another and vote them out of the game completely, rather than just to RI makes it more shocking. I'd prefer to see the reaction to 'you just got voted out of the entire game by your loved one' than, 'you…

In any way comparing Spencer to one of the worst seasons (One World) I simply cannot stand for, I thought he did more of a Cochran jury speech when he implored them to vote for Coach, or whoever it was that told everyone to vote for Boston Rob a few seasons ago.

The only twist that might be good will be that everyone who gets voted out stays on the island until the final 5 then there's one big duel to see who re-enters the game, or the duels keep going throughout the game and the winner only reenters at final five. Having them re-enter every few weeks always seemed stupid to…

While bumed that Spencer didn't win, I am super happy my number 2 pick, Tony, pulled it out. Would have loved to see Kass lose at the end, but having everyone call her out as a goat was enough. Was thinking to myself a good season requires a good cast, so don't bring back loads of players anymore. Then they announce…

Okay if the rumors of a final 2 are true, and given that the catch up before this ep said the whole game has been Spencer vs Tony, could they be in the final 2? That would be pretty amazing. The only way that happens is if Kass gets voted out next though. Then Tony or Spencer wins final immunity and bounces Woo.…

Also: don't be called Kass.

Seeing Tony actually vote for Trish was kinda cool in that it was unexpected but I guess made sense. This was the first ep I kinda like Trish, and Woo came alive for me finally. I still think they need to get rid of Woo next. If they do and the final 3 is Spencer Tony and Kass I'll be really happy. Spencer has been my…

I have to disagree on the car-plot being the best bit. It actually was probably the weakest for me. While Jared was great as ever, I saw the story coming and it was just one of those annoying ones where you think at some point there was a red light or something and he could have got out. A character just passively…

Firstly I was just adding a little levity by quoting a Larry David quote. Secondly, I think the Shae hatred isn't because she's a woman, it's for 2 reasons I imagine. 1) because the character had basically outlived her usefulness and was increasingly becoming stale and unlikeable. She constantly gave Tyrion shit about…

"You know Cesar used the tu form with Brutus even after Brutus stabbed him. He said Et tu, Brutae, and I think that's a little too informal when someone's trying to assassinate you."

You make some good points but I can't help root for Spencer and I don't know why? Maybe because he's about my age. Maybe because it would be cool to see a young guy beat out a cast of older people. And as for him seeming entitled? I never got that. Ozzy reeked of entitlement and I never liked him after his first…

Fair enough, though liking Kass more immediately put you on some sort of government register I imagine.
