"But the mere possibility of danger doesn’t mean that we should spend so much energy trying to prevent the worst-case scenario. Sometimes, you just have to give that fear the middle finger and move on as best you can."

I highly doubt Santorum or Romney would identify with Omar. After all, he believes "Everyone got to have a code."

To me, this comes off as Ryan imposing his preferences upon us. I don't watch Justified (though I'd like to), but yes, Breaking Bad is great episode to episode, but it isn't at all because it isn't preconceived. Yes, many of the details are subject to change, but didn't the second season foreshadow the plane crash in…

So Rosie wins an epic, edge-of-your-seat race, and later is shown naked? HBO has been getting my letters!

Nick's life post-dropping out of law school was fantastic…human in a cockfight, weird week in a blonde wig…

This was an A for me.

Doesn't David Simon consistently refer to The Wire as a "visual novel" though? I guess I'm guess I'm just not sure how that distinguishes it from that pantheon of great dramas.

Love the 1984 analogy.

Well I'll be, I figured this was newswire so I assumed. My apologies, Erik Adams. Good shit!

"neigh-ry a whinny of disapproval." Ain't Seany just a pip!

I got the same impression, that he was contrasting not grouping them. I don't think he wanted to openly insult another of the network's shows.

You don't think that dude deserved it? And why aren't feminists supposed to support their boyfriends?

I was so pleasantly surprised to see that he commented on Todd giving him a B. I believe that was the lowest rated episode though, so that's a hell of an accomplishment. He was able to come to his defense without seeming like a douche. He acknowledged where the problems came from and how they came about. It could come…

It is so refreshing to me that Gansa openly admits the shortcomings of the final product and the anxieties in the writers' room. Contrast that with MPK on "2 Broke Girls" who immediately hopped on the defensive when critics implicated his show wasn't flawless. I think any true artist is conscious of when their…

Bingo. Thank you DameDallas!

Male stripper: "What about your testicles? Are they more or less symmetrical?"

I was disappointed there weren't more. I think Avatar would be even funnier to visualize for a blind person just because there is absolutely no point of reference. I think the easy gag would be Kate would just see it as either Ferngully or Pocahontas  in her head though she has never seen (obviously) either of them.

It's all good. I think I know what wink wink moments you are referring to. I think it's probably a good thing he hasn't had that EUREKA moment. This show certainly doesn't specialize in subtlety.

Really, when was that established?

I actually agree that Henry was less annoying. But I think it was by contrast with the Horrible Twins.
