You don't have to like a show to review it adequately … but you do need to have some sort of sympathy for what a show thinks it's trying to accomplish, and be willing to judge it on those terms.  Without that there's simply no point to you, and that's mainly what raises reader hackles about PDN's assignment to South…

For God's sake, EVERYBODY BE QUIET.  The dudes from Night Ranger and Triumph are at the front door—thanks a pantload for tipping them off, whoever the hell did it.  See if they'll go away after a minute.  [Peers] Good Lord, they brought a sixpack of wine coolers … I didn't know you could still find those.

Damn—these beats are so FRESH.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

In the interests of verisimilitude, Clark Gable briefly considered using the accent when preparing to play Rhett Butler … but quickly realized that no one would understand a word he was saying, or where he was supposed to be from.

"Landry wept."

There is no barbecue in Texas.  Those filthy heathens actually believe that beef counts.

There is no one and nothing that Morrissey could become dyspeptic towards that would have the power to surprise me.

Hang on, @avclub-58238e9ae2dd305d79c2ebc8c1883422:disqus … you mean we weren't supposed to like Evanescence?  Crap.

I call B.S.  She's not even wearing a croupier's outfit.

That achievement:career-length ratio is one for the ages.  Truly, Cazale was the Sandy Koufax of cinema.

Hunh.  It's not the Holmes and Yoyo reboot I demanded, but it'll have to do.

Throw in Sanford & Son, and then follow it all up with an Avengers-like crossover blockbuster.  (Hell, they can even fight Loki.)

Except that singers like Dion actually don't have all the technical chops.  Despite indie/punk mythologizing on this point, genuine expressiveness is hard to achieve without a large degree of craft.  But too many singers with naturally pleasant voices decide that as long as they learn to get maximum projection and…

I remember 1981 well.  If that was a backwards turn, then weld my gearshift into a permanent "Reverse" setting, and floor that puppy.
