It's so great not to visit an AV tv club review to hate on it but to adore it from afar.
*gives TWD and FTWD the stink eye* This episode both flew by and lingered at the same time. ENTERTAINMENT!

I often think the TWD hatewatchers suffer from an INFJ or INFS Briggs Meyer personality where you can see so easily where something is going off the rails and you so desperately want to help fix it. I mean…it's not like this show is free to make and the waste of money and time and talent is maddening. Such a waste…

I saw Mr.Reedus in an awful film ( Air? ) a while back and it was so obvious he had just come from his TWD shoot…for a few seconds I thought it was an episode of TWD I hadn't seen yet. That guy is going to need to get off that show (or work his shoot schedule WAY better or wear a skull cap and shower before he shoots

Fans of Canada's Hamlet via the classic film Strange Brew may, like myself, have felt a warm and fuzzy kinship for the Carol saving dudes all dressed up in the sports gear…fond memories of Bob and Doug's attempt to shoot a futuristic sci fi movie in their hockey gear, eh. It was the best thing that happened to this

Plus, who the frak taught Negan how to play Eeny Meeny Miney Mo (sp?). When I was a kid we took that shit super serious. It was one word per person and it was in order. At one point I knew it so well I could figure it out within 45 seconds who was going to be It. First and only time I ever succeeded at anything even

If anybody needed to put together a raised bed for big leaf Basil and juicy orange Hillybilly tomatoes, it's that guy. Negan dude, you should try it, it's very therapeutic.

I agree it's unlikely to open in the same timeline as the season finale…more like they'll open in Alexandria, with Rick and a few of the Negan survivors packing up bullets for transport to Negan's nearest camp and over the hour we'll see the other survivors one by one until we pass by the Wall Of Death and see

When Talking Dead host buddy said he nearly vomited several times during the episode I thought "You're nuts….or they medicate you with a small dose of mushrooms before you see every episode so that your critical thinking skills go out the window." Please do NOT feed the TWD bears, their egos are already illogically

When I think of the use of not showing the Monster/Ghost/violence I always think of The Haunting (1963) which built up utter terror by not showing you the evil behind the bedrooms moving door handle. By all rights the viewer should have been imagining the brutal slaying of someone who has struggled in this arm of the

Just when you think you're out they pull you back in…because it's Sunday night and you might as well watch it as you roll your weekend washed socks and fold your weekend washed tshirts. I resent myself for watching it…it's so awkward!

Contractual cheap ass AMC shenanigans aside, I miss Mad Men something fierce. Just the other day I was doing some lunch prep and from out of nowhere I wondered "I wonder how Joan's production company thing is going for her…she must have an office by now…" When you're cutting peppers for tacos and you're still

If the characters on this program were written in such a fashion that they behaved as if they were actually in a constant struggle for life and death in a post ZA world ie: uber cautious, somewhat paranoid, thinking out loud to each other about the pros and cons of decision making, when they did actually fail the

Sometimes I have trouble getting to sleep after TWD, but no so much for fear or terror, more from my logical response to the utter carelessness of characters in the face of hostile forces. Really Rick? Really? You're leading a half a dozen presumably hungry, thirsty, likely somewhat terrified adrenal fatigued people

If it's going to be on CBS it would need to be CSI-The Drapers.

You know what is fun? Knowing that when Don uses the typewriter he's fixed he'll write "The quick brown fox" and saying it before she reads it aloud and getting a look of WTF!? from your husband who has never taken a typing class. Good times.

That's a very Joan thing to say. (grins)

I think it's there so we can think imagine it…we can play it out in our minds, what it would be like…what would Sally feel? How would Roger take it etc. But it's too literal. Sometimes I think Weiner is pulling all the strings and we, we just happen to like it. As we get to the end Mad Men is more like a Choose Your

As I'm sussing out my Venn Diagram of how Mad Men has been infused with a subtle under painting of anxiety and terror, right from the get go I realized 2 things that hold true to me… A)smoking=climate change metaphor, there's plenty of science to make the claim, and in essence we (humans) have been smoking the

I predict that doors will open. And other doors will close. And then some other doors will open. And someone will slam a door, and there will be at least one elevator door opening and/or closing.
"Next floor…Rooftop…Lucky Strikes, Canadian scotch and very dangerous wind shear, please stay back from the edge…"
