The government was never interested in taking him down in the first place. He was their "necessary evil." Sherlock's plan involved implicating CAM in the possession of classified material, but no such possession ever took place, and Sherlock's the one who drugged his brother and stole the laptop in the first place.…

What's the plothole? That Mycroft is able to cover up the murder of Rupert Murdoch?

Is anybody pretending that all three episodes haven't already been released? I'd have to figure the overlap between people who post on the avclub and people who would wait until these episodes air on PBS is not high.

It was certainly much better than that (similar) episode last year with the puppets. I have a feeling that won't be the last time that type of comparison will be applicable this season.

Rough night for the anti-Skye faction. If you thought there was an excess of Skye on this show, you ain't seen nothing yet. We don't even know her superpower yet, but you just know it's going to be infuriating. Plus, she's a tragic, mutant starbaby now. Like Harry Potter mixed with Jesus.

I don't know. We'd have to find somebody who managed to stick out all five seasons of Miami Vice.

I don't disagree that Raylan is making some effort to change. Not much different from Don Draper, really. Getting older, making peace with one's upbringing, more paternal, etc.

It's bad times for everybody. The once mighty Wynn Duffy is getting shut down by some scrub drug dealer in Boyd's podunk bar.

Unlike so many other protagonists of this era of prestige dramas,
Raylan Givens is no antihero.

From what we know about Nick Miller, there's no way he is even adequate enough at sex to make any woman ever, anywhere, (even Jess) jones for his "vitamin D." I'm dubious.

I'm concerned Ken Tremendous has a horse fetish that would make Tina Belcher blush. I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop on his Mr. Ed remake.

In many respects, it was always inevitable that the ISIS gang would turn
to a life of crime. They were like 90% of the way there already.

Fringe sent its characters into a dystopian future for its final season, Lost flashfowarded its cast off the island and then back onto the island and also through time, etc. I think it happens more often than you might think.

I've only ever seen two episodes of Girls. The pilot, where the Main
Girl eats a cupcake in the tub while her roommate shaves her legs like
right next to her, and then goes on to beg for a thousand dollars from
her parents and call herself the "voice of her generation." I found that
episode generally offputting and…

SHIELD could do a lot worse than to explicitly mimic LOST with its story reveals. It could also do a lot better, but the answer that's really just a half answer and only opens up more questions is at the very least a competent way of doing business. This show just needs to settle down and display some competence for a…

We have an inspiring politician on tv…his name is Barack Obama.

"That judge is as honest as they come…I might have to threaten his family."

It took you 10+ episodes of him lusting after his "impossible girl" to put that one together?

That episode was a lot like Orla Brady's character: thoroughly elegant, a little weird, and a lot cheesy. It doubled back and picked up all the scattered pieces of the Moffat/Smith era, but it also didn't always feel particularly motivated or engaging while in Happy Christmas Land. And then the regeneration turned…

Oh, is this film coming out tomorrow? I haven't seen much promotion for it.
