No, I'm pretty sure it was all technically accurate, it was just delivered as unnatural, expository things nobody would actually say.

I'm not sure it was one or the other. I thought she was doing some sort of ice queen affectation.

If only there was some precedent (or even ten precedents, perhaps) for a show replacing its departing star with a new actor?

He said he worked for a private military contractor, and that he accidentally fired on and killed six Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan.

I think we just figured out the mindset of the show's writers right there. You forgot to tell us to "Wake up, sheeple."

The sports bra made me wonder why they settled on "crazy push up bra" as a character trait for Cosima? Why did they decide that one of the characters needed bigger tits? For one joke and a painting?

I believe that the setup is that S. is on the run with Kira to keep her out of the conspiracy hands who came a-calling. They went heavy on the shotgun foreshadowing.

If this season of Orphan Black was the Rumble in the Jungle, then the show is playing the role of George Foreman and I think it just punched itself out.

He played the inexplicable black West Texan/Crosby, Stills & Nash fan combo in Prometheus. You certainly didn't see that one coming.

A hearty lol to all of you ragging on Citric when, if Doctor Who was an American production by one of our many sad little paranoid megalomaniacs (J.J. Abrams, Matthew Weiner, etc.), they would totally try to keep all this covered up in the press.

I remember back to the premiere, when this site's review was up early during the day and the first couple hundred comments were people slagging on the show relentlessly before even seeing it. And now look, it gets like 700 comments an episode and is an overwhelming critical success.

He who does not appreciate Lucille wickedly torturing Buster doesn't appreciate her character, period.

I might be an easy lay when it comes to Arrested Development, but I can't get in the spirit of nitpicking or second guessing the new version of the show. It's just so nice to have the characters back.

And here's the story of the fanbase who lost everything, and the one digital entertainment company who had no choice but to bring us all back together.

And is this therapy being therapeutic for you?

There's a moment in the original run where a drunken Lucille admits she always liked Michael's wife, and I wondered if that was actually a dark omen and that Tracey was another case of Michael's blinders.

If they were fixed on using someone of that ilk and generation, I suppose Jason Segel might have been a better choice than Rogen, but I'm actually at a loss to come up with a quote-unquote "good fit" for young George Sr.

Do you know what's not going to change that? Posting 44 times to that effect (according to your profile page) on these threads, let alone any other comments on the previous thread(s).

I don't know that he's an echo so much as this is the logical conclusion of his descent into nihilism. He doesn't even believe in advertising anymore.
