Why in god's name would anyone of any profession agree to get in business with Suge Knight at this point?

I'm a Clemson alum so I'm definitely glad to see Spiller do so well. I drafted him for my fantasy team this year on a whim, I was pretty happy to see him start doing so well

He's the QB of Earth-2 Bills, who are 7-1 right now

Wait…Ellen Barkin is officially grandma age now?  I remember her being super fuckable in Ocean's Thirteen a mere 5 years ago

I can't decide if Chris Brown's representatives are great or incredibly shitty at their jobs.  On the one hand, he successfully (at least in terms of the general public) made a comeback, wins Grammys, etc., but on the other they allow things like this to keep getting out.

I've got to disagree with you there.  If you're talking about like a Charlie Sheen or Ashton Kutcher, then yeah, maybe.  But somebody like Michael C. Hall (or Hugh Laurie, just to provide another example) seem like they have genuinely discerning taste and are just sticking with the role for the crazy paycheck.  If

Seriously! It's so awful at this point, yet I'm weirdly fascinated with all the huge storytelling flaws happening.  I don't know if anybody listens to IGN's Channel Surfing podcast, but they did a great breakdown of all that's wrong with Dexter this past week.

Yeah, they're putting out some serious incest vibes here.  Deb's talk in the therapist office about how Dexter means so much to her seemed like the standard scene in a rom-com right before the girl realizes how much her guy best friend means to her, and the shot in the preview definitely looked they could make out at

I was watching the show with two other people, both of whom are less TV-obsessed and a good bit less critical of the show than I am, and all three of us started laughing at that "Hello, whore" line.  I like Hanks normally, but his work here is basically the definition of miscasting. 

I was totally thinking the same thing.  It would be both genuinely surprising and most likely boost the overall quality, since all those characters are useless.  Just have Deb be on leave or something (since she's the only non-Dexter character who I actually care about at all) and we're good to go.

Considering the fact that as little as two years ago he's shown how great of an actor he can be, I actually have found it kind of amusing how much Olmos just utterly did not give a shit about his performance here. And is he seriously just out for the year at this point?

Definitely good to see him again outside of a terrible, generic TBS procedural anyway.  He's always extremely likable, I'd be pretty surprised if he's not headlining a sitcom again in the next couple of years.

Hooray for Alias! Also, anyone know this deal will include streaming Cougar Town? I've been wanting to catch up on that before it starts back up

Honestly, the only thing that saves the show for me is how fantastic Elba is.  Dude can make anything work as far as I'm concerned

I kind of agree, but I also think (like many critics have said) that people are overrating the first season of the show in retrospect.  To me, this was always a B+/A- sitcom that knows how to keep old tropes relatively funny.  This season has been fine, no worse than season 2 overall in my opinion (though the dude

I like this show a fair amount, but it's interesting to me just how much it seems to be saved by its cast.  If this exact same writing didn't have Wilson, Wayans, Coupe, and Pally holding it up, I can definitely see it having been banished to the summer-Friday death slot like Friends with Benefits was.

I thought I liked it, but now I don't know! The lack of concrete judgement frightens me!
