Reading these comments are entertaining. But it begs the question, when did "believability" and "realism" become the same thing? It seems a few people here think they're synonyms or something. They're not. At least when it comes to tv shows, movies, novels, video games, etc. Realism adheres to the real world,

Eh, it was alright. As for the consistency when it comes to Dexter being a "sexual being", I think that's one of the few things that the writers have been consistent about. Dexter's most memorable relationships, good or bad, have been with damaged women. I mean, it would be nice if the writers acknowledged this within

Yes, Season 5 and 6 were better then all the seasons RTD wrote. Season 1 with Eccleston is probably the one nearest in quality.

Moffat is a better writer than Russell T Davies, so yea, I am saying that. Over half the time actually. Moffat has his problems, but Russell T Davies was significantly worse. His writing was more akin to a Soap Opera than a fun scifi show. Plus, like I said before, Tennant couldn't save the show with his acting. But

I swear, I refuse to be pissed off by Moffat. He's a fantastic writer but he's also someone who says shit to stir up controversy. He might even believe everything he says, but I can tell you right now, if he didn't feed off negativity like a troll, he would have kept those thoughts to himself.

The Doctor is and probably always will be asexual. Romance =/= Sexual Orientation

"While I adored Smith, that Doctor wasn't terribly different from Tennant's"

Jimmy, I'm not saying we don't. I'm saying if we had to choose between them, we'd all rather root for both then choose one.

Boyd's fantastic. But I don't think I could root for him over Raylan if I had to choose.

Raylan will probably end up in my top 3 by the end of the series. Especially when you consider that he really stands out in the current age of television where nearly every drama is about an anti hero. Raylan is certainly an outlier which helps his case at this point.

Not sure about the actor. But I really want a 7th Doctor type of portrayal. Kind of a dark, mysterious, manipulator of sorts. Doctor Who was starting to be geared towards more adult type of stories when it "ended" the first time and the reboot kind of ignore that progression in favor of more family oriented stuff. But

Raylan's got that Seth Bullock hair.

I like Jon Hamm. He's a great actor. But I'm probably one of the few people who think his performance is a bit lackluster compared to some of the other nominees. His performance is good, just not quite great enough. Okay, I'm gonna stop now before someone calls me a heretic.

I definitely didn't expect Rectify to get nominated. At least not this year. So although it's a snub, it was expected. Aden Young… is… kinda good. Yea, he's pretty fantastic. I'd honestly take out Hugh Bonneville and Jeff Daniels, replace them with Olyphant and Young.

Tatiana Maslany… how could the Emmy voters ignore her? I mean, sure, she's in a scifi show on BBC America. But come on. They couldn't have surfed the internet without seeing the buzz around her performance.

Someone leaves legs and a torso, both from a different body, on a bridge in between the U.S. and Mexico. Not to mention they took out all the power on the border so he could do it. I wouldn't say this show is going for "a sort of veracity". It has a different tone to Justified, but that doesn't mean its realistic or

I'm not angry. I just sound angry. People get that mixed up with me all the time in person as well, so I don't fault you. I'm just a very assertive person. If someone makes an idiotic statement(ya know, like saying that having empathy problems isn't "human"), I'll point it out.

1. Raylan Givens would have been forced out of his job halfway through season one of Justified considering how many people he shot, if we're talking about realism. So your point is irrelevant. Now if you were to say the show needs to balance itself better between realism and tv entertainment, I might agree with you.

I haven't watched Weeds and this is honestly the first time I've seen Bichir in anything. I've heard he's been great though. I quite like him here, so he's earned applause from me so far.

I thoroughly enjoy Sonya's character. Probably because I can relate in some aspects. Empathy isn't my strong suit. Never has been really.
