Well, I can't criticize this show because after watching it I decided to watch the UK version on Netflix to see what the fuss was all about, and I ended up watching every episode of the first series without stopping.

I was sitting through 'The Bourne Legacy' at the theater last night, and was thinking to myself, 'This needs a little more Tony Scott, a little less Tony Gilroy." Wow. What a shocker. Very sad to see someone go this way. I didn't like every one of his movies, but 'Top Gun' and 'True Romance' especially were

David Straithairn is an awesome actor, and it's hard to imagine the series would be as good without him. With that said, I'm having some trouble with his character - partly because of the obvious, naked conflicts of interest he has as both the team's therapist and their supervisor…Todd mentions it joshingly above, and

When the would-be killer was revealed I remember there was a news broadcast in Japan, that's how crazily big a story it was. And a full article in Time. I was only a kid then, but this was how TV's power was first impressed on me. None of it would have been possible, of course, without Larry Hagman's perfect

Disappointingly dull, which is the first time I've felt this way about an episode from this series - and I too am usually a sucker for flashbacks (in fact, I was hoping to learn that David Clarke was a more shaded and complex and less blandly idolized character than he's been presented so far). I was so bored I

I'm surprised at how improbably enjoyable these scenes with Arya at Harrenhaal have been - the twist and turns about the table as she attempts to avoid Littlefinger's notice was a nifty scene, and I did laugh at the look of exasperation that rolled across Jaqen's face as Arya demanded he kill Amory Loch "now," as if

I got over the whole dream year thing, and still enjoyed the rest of the show's run, and liked the final episode as well…But speaking of 'just end it already,' after watching the previews, I feel that way about the TNT revival that's not even started yet.

I'm feeling this way about Supernatural, a favorite guilty pleasure of mine, but I'll be sorely disappointed if it just continues to go on and on.

I was puzzled about why Fanny Ardant was on Mad Men, but amazed at how great she looked.

I think the actor, and the character, are both growing a bit into their respective roles - and perhaps the same can be said for the writers, too. "Let's settle our differences, violently" is an unusually memorable and even audacious line from a main character who's been sort of bland up to now, and overall this

I do agree that this second season was a step backward from the first; I found myself especially disappointed with Aiden's various stories (I felt it a mile away how Suren was going to end up) and the wolf twins were just incredibly obnoxious and not at all compelling.

Nice to see Barbara Hershey channeling her inner Serena Merle again. Though Emma continues to impress me as TV's worst cop, it was a smart move on the show's part to shift her partner in crime-solving away from Henry to the infinitely easier-to-take August.

Ditto. Though, I think the actor playing the 'old guy' was Harry Hamlin, who's actually a bit more than thirty years older than Ian (or the actor who plays him).
