The Leo reveal is more about Dana attaching herself to another guy who is keeping a huge secret from her. I don't think she's in any actual danger and I don't even think he has any malevolent intent. This plot-line seems more about testing Dana's assertion that she "wants to live", even after she inevitably learns of…

Zoe: "Actually, I think Christine McVie was the real underrated songwriting talent in that group. Second only to Lindsey Buckingham, of course."

I'd wager that someone is going to get murdered next to a levee or have sex next to a levee or - wild card - the levees will be used as defense against zombies on the march.

"So is this going to be a show were all men are either beasts, animals (literally) or rapists, or being sexually abused, tortured and killed by strong independent womyn?"

I have to hug my pillow in order to fall asleep.

Yeah, this thread is just making me quietly furious.

The juice is loose!
By that I mean I went on a 24-hour juice cleanse and things weren't so solid on the other end.

Also introducing the ironic use of "Sounds of Silence" into the pop culture vernacular, priming the pump for the Arrested Development running joke 10 years later (and undercutting the seriousness of a funeral scene in The Watchmen).

The scene makes way more sense the way @avclub-ee2e9e1447fcb49c96e19af584ca11b4:disqus described it. Saul realizes that Fara has enough of an ego to stroll through Langley wearing a headscarf after a terrorist bombing after one week on the job. However, he thinks her fashion statement is writing checks her actual work…

How did they get Kenan to materialize right there on stage in front of a live audience is what I want to know.

@misterfilmgeek:disqus "The big things were explained. Everything else is just flavor."
I would say the broad themes were explained (or rather dictated), and everything else is justifying details (sadly undercooked). The answers you gave to my questions reinforce my attitude, in fact. They're mostly some form of…

@misterfilmgeek:disqus - Why did the Others kidnap children and why were they so committed to being conniving assholes?
- Three-toed statue?
- Claire's weird disappearing act for several seasons?
- Why is Sayid's true love in the sideways universe not his Iraqi wife?
- Why did Faraday cry when watching TV?
- How did Ben…

The callback to the Q trial in the premiere episode was a brilliant idea overall. It bookends the series with a dose of humility for Picard and the seemingly trivial notion that the human race deserves a place in the universe. As Picard unwittingly demonstrates to himself in the episode, the more advanced and…

Alice Wetterlund as the beleaguered hostess! Favorite comedian on Girl Code.

I heard an NPR story about parasitic hookworms curing asthma and certain allergies. Basically, they are a symbiotic organism that was sanitized out of much of Western civilization. It's called "helminthic therapy" and might be worth looking into as a permanent (albeit a long-shot) solution. I was going to recommend…

Aw… I was hoping Lydia would have time to rush to the hospital and get that poison out. Still, that's just what I'll have to imagine happened :D

No, that machine gun device was rad. It would be a convenience if he bought it pre-made at a store, but he assembled it and got it to work himself in a great feat of lonely desert engineering. I loved the perfectly horizontal plane of fire at the perfect height (that's the only thing I could call a contrivance given…

I thought the more salient point of Walt's admission to Skylar about "feeling alive" was that he stopped telling her that it had always been "for the family". The tragedy of Walt's choices was less that he'd found a passion so all-consuming that he couldn't help but indulge it until his world crumbled, but that he'd…

I did the DVR equivalent of Patrick Stewart's quadruple-take at that Jerry moment. I immediately deemed it the most brilliant thing he's done in P&R, comparable in my esteem to Chris's "Stop. Pooping."
