The unfortunately named "post-dubstep" genre existed long before James Blake's album.

Because [insert that one album you love here] was overrated.

I'm really happy for the widespread acclaim and success James Blake is getting after starting out so small, but goddamn this sounds like something you'd hear in a shitty cruise ship. Still think his non-pop-singer-songwriter stuff is great though.

Yes, I think So You Think You Can Dance, Oprah Behind The Scenes, Storage Wars and Glee are the pinnacles of quality television too.

Good call on Dennis from Always Sunny. Dennis has reached a point where he could be transferred to a quality drama in his current form and be legitimately frightening.

Except for The Vampire Diaries, which I have not seen on account of its name, I identify with this list the most. Also I'd switch Breaking Bad and Louie and have Parks and Rec at 4. Okay maybe I should've just made my own list.

Yeah, I didn't think Louie was as consistently great as it was in its first season, but Eddie is one of the best, most emotionally honest (yet funny) and well directed (the black and white scenes) half hours of television I've seen in a long, long time. And Stanhope, whose stand-up I wasn't familiar with before the

1) Yeah, I didn't think it was that big of a deal either until reading the first paragraph of the review and some of the comments. I thought it was more about giving Carrie one last clue that she could use to convince herself that she may have not been entirely wrong about Brody and then teasing us with the fact that

@avclub-c5fe25896e49ddfe996db7508cf00534:disqus I think you meant to direct that comment towards bdawgxl seeing that I didn't say any of that.

Yeah, I framed that sentence poorly. Ignore the bit about Brody in that point because yes, it would be much easier to do that compared to creating a sleeper. Still wouldn't be easy though.

12. Travis walks around comfortably in broad daylight despite being the most wanted man in Miami.
13. Dexter "falls off his boat" in the middle of the ocean, is unable to get back onto his boat and instead swims to shore the same night of the lake of fire thing happens. No one thinks what a strange coincidence that is.

1) By kidnapping a harmless, rich, old lady who lives in the top floor of a building somewhere in the vicinity. The Secret Service isn't omnipresent and I don't think they can check every single apartment around the block…well, they could, but it's not unrealistic that they wouldn't.

Disagree with you about the finale being a letdown. Completely agree with you on this show not being at Breaking Bad's level..not yet anyway.

It's late, so I apologize for being glib - Your point about the bomb malfunctioning conveniently (in context of the narrative) is a good one even if I didn't have a huge problem with it. Your point about Carrie not figuring out Dana dialing 911 despite being able to "piece together master terrorist plots in five

I love this show and I know this is just your opinion, but "best single season of American Television since The Wire, hands down" is a bit much.

Yeah, Breaking Bad is the best at building tension but it usually does it in short spurts. This was about 60 minutes of dread slowly building up and up and up to a point where I was actually starting to get physically uncomfortable. I think what added to the tension here was the fact that:

No, we would then actually strive towards ironic slackerism.

Just wanted to say that I love your username even if the written word cannot do justice to Colin Hanks' unique and magical delivery of it.
