Rubicon also had an incredible drone episode, and that one was even more explicitly about the ethics of drones. Highly recommended!

What @intangible_fancy:disqus said, but I also think the scene is more about giving Alicia some balance. It's clear before that that The Good Wife treats Alicia like she has a point, giving us a mildly wrenching verdict (all the more so for how buttoned up it is), letting her be outraged, and preparing us for a…

Agreed with so many of those. I'll add Buffalo Bill, Death Valley Days, Wanted: Dead or Alive, On the Air, Yes, Minister, and The Thick of It.

Did I not mention the rat on the treadmill?

I am pretty new, but did I say "nice group of gals" or did I just say they weren't heinous witches?

Whoops, thanks for catching that.

Not that Modern Family isn't totally uptight about its gayness, but I think they actually had two kisses (the one peck in the background of the PDA episode and the one during the shaving episode). A timeslot later, Happy Endings has only had one, and it wasn't even romantic, and they even cut what would have been…

I think it's a mistake to assume that Glee is endorsing the Quinn storyline. If it's meant to be sympathetic, it's only to her situation, not her scheming. Who actually thinks CPS is going to take the baby from Shelby and give it to Quinn and Puck and let everyone live happily ever after? It's Glee. She's sad because…

"Remember Me" maybe? I know people disappear in that one.

As a kid, the Star Trek: TNG episode that always scared me was "Schisms." Rewatched it earlier this month and it had some nice atmospheric touches, esp. that scene on the Holodeck where they try reconstructing the surgery table and the crazy roving fisheye at the climax. Not that scary, but not as bland as I feared,…

No disrespect intended. I hope I made it clear that what few problems I have with the show have nothing to do with the sailors (eh?) who are fun and interesting to spend an hour with.

Not on its own. I think that, in particular, was just the show putting us in the soldiers' boots, and the Taliban are certainly their enemy.

Yeah, I think any movie that starts out with the text, "War is a drug," can hardly be called apolitical. (BTW, I was just saying that's what critics said. Like this show, I think it's only apolitical on its surface.)

I was curious about that, too. I suspect that this is just shortened by about fifteen minutes, but it's not updated. Doesn't even mention the Nobel. Just fortuitous timing.

Also, Buster Keaton marathon on TCM with nothing longer than an hour, because Robert Osborne totally gets me.

Sorry for the confusion, y'all. Five is an anthology of five short films about breast cancer. They're not explicitly connected except in the recurring character I mentioned, so it made more sense to review them individually than as different parts of a whole.

I would say, "Hear hear!" but Josh Holloway in "Charlotte" is the Southern embodiment of Don Draper's dad routine.

Is that the one with JD from Friday Night Lights and his porn addiction? Because that was awesome.

Do we have to? I'd hate for Mario Lopez to confront us with the mean things we've said about him.

True, I was generalizing for brevity's sake, but part of H8R's argument, such as it is, is that Snooki's drunken donkey-ness does not invalidate the good things she does, like giving to charities and speaking truth to powerlessness.
