"Weird shit that no one talks about anymore" is part of our reason for doing this. There will be some obvious ones, but the goal is to explore the forgotten.

I'll be pretty disappointed if they don't. Brad's hilarious, but it's 2013. As far as I'm concerned, Straight Brad is living on borrowed time.

"Scientists are saying the future is going to be far more futuristic than they originally predicted."

Thanks. It goes back to one of Todd's drums, but form gives us so many unconscious quality cues. But honestly I love how easy The Middle is to underestimate. It's so stereotypically Midwestern.

True, but it's not like you have to watch all of season one to understand fully what's going on in season two. You can pretty much dive in whenever you want.

Thanks! I've heard of that one, too. Maybe I'll hold of on "Jose" then. Any others you'd recommend for a beginner?

I laughed, honest. Just addressing the thread. There are a lot of Essentials nowadays.

I don't get it. That's a pretty useful term for a critic.

Way more likely. I know this is one of the high points, but like I said, this one floored me with its emotional richness. I've heard good things about "Jose Chung's From Outer Space," so that's next on my list.

RIP A.V. Club. It was a sad day when it found out none of its employees had seen everything.

I wonder if the reputation is part of why it didn't completely spook me. There were those moments, but mostly I was smiling in admiration more than I was genuinely scared.

Those are both season 5, I believe, so TV Club Classic hasn't quite gotten around to them yet.

Same. I'd much prefer a comprehensive list in January to a trumped up FIRST! in mid-December. And the sites that post in November are just ridiculous. Take an Extenze if you're that insecure.

Do we even think Angela is dead? We got a car on a bridge and a Facebook note (thanks for ripping that particular headline btw), but no body yet. My money's still on Hostages being an elaborate, ostensibly high-stakes version of The Game. The final line: "Surprise!"

I believe so. The previews looked awfully costumey.

Gruffudd and Peter Facinelli both. I suspect Rachel really did get the part. They're just going to mess with her all year by pretending she didn't because they see something special in her.

Right? Don't know if you read the review yet, but I was pretty uncomfortable about the engagement from the moment it came up last year to about halfway through the actual proposal. Maybe that's what they're going for?

This episode reminded me that I've been one of the acquaintances at a public proposal, and it was actually pretty fun from that side of things. Not what I want myself, but that definitely made it easier to get swept up in it.

Both at the same time. This is Glee, after all.

I might have some bad news for you.
