For me, it's both/and, not either/or. I love the show, but can't stop thinking about the unrealistic bits while I'm watching. E.g. Hannibal can smell cancer.

The Ripper likes to kill people in crazy, baroque ways without leaving a trace (e.g., he was somehow able to graft a guy's body to a tree, in a secret murder arboretum, presumably, without anyone catching on). If Chilton's the Ripper, then it'd be uncharacteristically sloppy for him to be slicing up a guy in his…

STRONG AS I AM!!!

Not Marsha the landlady?

I see your point (that voters choose candidates for the most superficial reasons)…but even on that superficial level, who the fuck would want to go drinking with George Bush?

Jarl, like English "earl," with a j. In any case, I'd pick Floki.

Fictionalized version of real person: Mozart from Amadeus

From the Marvel universe, I'd have to pick Thor's buddies, the Warriors Three.
From the DC universe: Aquaman.

True, it was not simply a war about slavery. But it was not even remotely a war about the noble principle of "states' rights." The South was adamantly opposed to states' rights! That is, when those rights interfered with the business/institution of slavery. The South certainly didn't perceive the northern states'…

I'm watching Jazz right now (at the rate of one ep. every three days). I'm still in the swing era. It's pretty interesting (and pitched to my level, since I don't know much about jazz)…but some of the "experts" are a little hard to take.

I also watched that as a wee lad…30 years later, all I remember about it (besides Pam Dawber) is how utterly fascinated I was with the idea of being able to magically stop time. If I had that watch, I could do anything! I would be like a god! That concept blew my 6-year-old mind for some reason.

Michael Apted's "Up" series: I always get really excited when the new entry comes out, but it's a bummer when it's over and I've gotta wait seven years for the next one. I guess the point of the series would be defeated if they cranked out films faster…so, they should keep it just the way it is. Still, it's a long…

I've just been watching the 70s BBC post-apocalyptic show "Survivors," and comparing it to "The Walking Dead" every step of the way. It's not for everyone (lots of talk, not much action/ownage)…and it's not perfect (it goes downhill in Season 3). But even when it's boring, it's so much more interesting and…

I see your Snuff Box, and raise you a Garth Marenghi.

The funny thing is that the army dude insists on following orders, keeping things "top secret," as if it's meaningful to stick to the chain of command now that the world has been turned upside down. These people are so dumb, they don't deserve to survive. Most of their problems would be solved instantly if they'd…

Absolutely. This is a show about a zombie apocalypse, for Christ's sake, so of course I'm going to watch it, and hope for the best…even though half of the characters annoy me, it's often boring and stupid, etc.

Not chair of the zombie science department? Disappointing.

After many trials and tribulations, the gang makes it to DC…and Zombie Obama bites their faces off. End of series.

I was thinking that Terminus would be a paradise, and then Darryl's new thug friends would come along and ruin everything. But I like your freaky cult theory better.
