I actually thought that was a little sad.  It looks like Astrid and Walter have a much different relationship without Peter.  She was awfully harsh to him several times.

This is false.  If you're trying to use the "WELL Hitler and Stalin were atheists so nyah nyah" argument, it's empirically false.  Stalin was an atheist, sure, no doubt.  And yeah, he killed a lot of people.  Hitler was not an atheist, as was evidenced by almost every single thing he ever said or wrote.  And if he was…

@avclub-9da7cd75ea0d9f80f9348fd3023a83a8:disqus I personally don't have enough energy to write a long rebuttal to all of your arguments here.  Also, I don't like sounding like a pedantic asshole on the internet.  So I'm going to address your first point and then refer you to an excellent book.
So, you mention these…

That's a nice line-up of respectable and intelligent single-camera sitcoms ya got there.  I'd hate if somethin unfortunate were to happen to 'em.

SHE'S 29?!

Whitney Cummings appears to be a disgusting, untalented piece of human filth.

Although, he might have been watching the Whitney pilot on it.

This sounds like he ordered a large shipment of shit via his phone.

I've seen several reviews saying that Parks's speech destroys the pacing, but personally, I felt like it worked exceptionally well at keeping the tension simmering.  He's giving this fire-and-brimstone sermon, and the camera slowly reveals disturbing details about what's going on in the room.  It keeps the suspense…

"What is it Carrie?"

I've been greatly enjoying Todd's recent spat of acerbic reviews.  Can't wait to read his dressing-down of Charlie's Angels.  Second "F" of the pilot season?

Eternal Sunshine of the Completely Intact Memory

I can see that.

I don't think Mario Lopez would be comfortable believing in anything other than Mario Lopez.  But who knows, could be true.  I wouldn't be too surprised.

It's okay, my post was also semi-ranting.  It does tend to get my ire up when people misuse words for their own purposes.

Based on the amazingly acerbic review of this show, I tried to watch it.  Couldn't make it five minutes.

A lot of people (sometimes purposefully, sometimes not) mix up their definitions of "faith".  It's similar to Creationists mixing up the definitions of "theory" to suit their needs.

The way it's written in that video, I thought the title of the album was "LULL".  Equally as appropriate, I think.

I'm pretty sure the implication was that BNL was far superior to anything else available at the Dollar Store CD aisle.  Of course I could be projecting.

I think the "Casual Film Viewer" demographic doesn't really care what's available, they'll just watch whatever strikes their fancy.  They're the same crowd that gives Asylum all their business.
