I loved the prank that Walt played on the Schwarzes. It was my favorite scene in entire show's run. It was not only very reminiscent of something you'd see in one of those great crime movies of the 70's; it was also wonderful to see Eliot and Gretchen squirm—the two most detestable characters on Breaking Bad that…

As a New York resident, I would recommend "Alice" by Mott the Hoople, if only I knew anyone else outside of blogs, comments sections, and used records stores who owned that record. With that in mind, I guess we should just keep Sinatra's version of "New York, New York."

WARNING: Do not see Serenity until you've seen the entirety of Firefly. It is not a good point to jump on board.
I saw Serenity years before I finally saw Firefly on Netflix. Although it explained its overall premise and setting, I felt underwhelmed and ignored the show for too long.
After seeing Serenity again, after…

I sort of lived this over the summer. Last year, I discovered Doctor Who, when a friend gave me their Netflix password, because I told her that I don't have BBC America and they never play it on my PBS outlet. My major is grueling, and besides fifteen minute long episodes of Regular Show, I don't really have the time…

You know what I loved about reading this post? I watched Cabin in the Woods with my sister, who hates violent movies to no end. (She likes Tarantino for some reason, though. Go figure.) Anyway, I loved the movie, as did my brother, who adores horror movies—good and bad—and my father who hates what he derisively calls…

Yeah, that's all great, but that's all the stuff that everyone has told me in this thread. Since Brock was poisoned by the lilies of the Valley, and not a Ricin cigarette though, I still feel that the realization that Huell would have been the one to have pickpocketed him years ago, if the Ricin cigarette was used—but…

I actually really like Skyler. I admit, I binge watched the show on Netflix before the start of season 5, so I didn't follow everyone's reactions to her, but during the first couple seasons of the show, she was mostly just a concerned housewife. I didn't find her unlikable; I thought that Anna Gunn played the part…

Yeah, I remember them making another cigarette for Fring, but the thing is why would a missing cigarette matter, if the ricin in the cigarette wasn't what Mr. White used to poison Brock? I'm not even dissing the show, because I love it and I remember all of this stuff as you guys are commenting, so I'm really grateful…

Do you know why he would have needed the cigarette then? If I understand Jesse's reasoning, then he was angry at Walter because he deduced that he poisoned that kid, but if Walter didn't use the cigarette to poison that kid, then wasn't that deduction based on no actual evidence?

My only problem with the episode: Didn't Walt poison that kid with those berries that grew on that plant? Didn't they ominously close up to the one in his back yard at end of third season finale? There could be an answer to this. If anyone knows the answer to this, could you reply?

The point is that a girl in her underwear hardly contradicts Gene Roddenberry's original vision. Ever see the Orion Slave girl dance in the original pilot?
Also, the new movies have as many minorities—with larger parts—as the original series did.

It's got a thematic point to it; most movies, even bad ones do, but it doesn't have some Trek-like ethical question at it's core.
Never does Kirk have to question whether or not Genesis is a good idea, or whether or not the government should be involved in such a project, or whether or not Khan is right to hi-jack the…

You see, I think that the optimistic message for the future, while inspiring in the 60's has held back Trek more than it has furthered it. In the original series, it was optimistic—especially since it was wonderful to see an interracial cast—but by the time the spin-offs rolled along, it became more prideful. See the…

I didn't like any of the Next Generation Movies. I could have given First Contact a pass—even if it is a bit of a dumbed down action plot—but Picard acts like too much of a vengeance driven mad man—nothing like he was on the show. Next Generation fans deserved better than that.
The only movie from the original crew…

I don't agree with the author's opinion's, but I admire his ability to express them with some level of analytical reasoning. Still, I feel that the Manic Pixie Dream Girl label has been too embraced by critical culture. It seems like every single time there's a movie or TV show that has a young girl that doesn't have…

Roddenberry wouldn't toss in his grave because Star Trek, while racially blind, has always been incredibly sexist. He dated Nichelle Nichols for a while, and he repeatedly casted women (see Marina Sirtis, Persis Khambatta) based on how attracted he was to them. Gates McFadden even had to quit TNG for a season, because…

I feel like JJ Abrams movies are held to an unfair standard as far as "the lack of ethical debates" are concerned. Even Star Trek: The Motion Picture, the most intellectual of the movies (and one of the most hated) didn't focus on Ethics. The whole story was about the evolution of a new form of sentience, inspired…

I don't know. I've loved Idris Elba since The Wire but I can't really imagine him as the Doctor. The same goes for David Harewood and Chiwetel Ejiofor. I would like a black Doctor, but I feel that it has to be someone who's right for the part.
I'm not incredibly familiar with black British actors, so I don't know who…

Omar from the Wire was supposed to be killed off in the first season.

I love it that Starship Troopers made this list. Finally, someone understands.
