I thought that, too.  It would have been a good gag if they had Saget voice 20YL-Ted. Or at least Daniel Stern.

They'll have to have Bob Saget start coughing a little during his voiceovers.

That would be sooo good.  And it would frame the entire show so perfectly.  It would explain why the dad is the only one telling the story.  (It's not called, "How I Met Your Father"… though I figure they could probably make a whole new series with that premise, telling the other side.)  And it would certainly explain…

I just saw this episode.  I had to rewind it when the joke dropped because it was so strange.

I largely agree with this review.  Here's my issue with Netflix streaming: my internet connection at home kinda blows and my Netflix streaming can be dodgy.  So, the picture quality will veer from sub-VHS to some pretty decent HD to intermittent buffering delays.  (Took me about 90 minutes to watch a 50 minute episode…

Yes, this is what slays me.  It's garnered enough ratings and positive notice to  get a renewal.  That isn't ALL just people watching ironically or "hate-watching".  There are a lot of people genuinely moved by this.  So criticisms don't even matter because the show itself has already won.

You know, I had hopes for this show.  Kevin Bacon's first tv series.  The commercials looked promising.  Bacon can give some grounded performances.  Kevin Williamson… is a very wealthy man who's done some interesting work in the past.

"But even the newly faithless can admit that Lost started great, began to meander for a bit, and then pulled itself together to such a remarkable degree that for about two and a half years it became one of the most exciting, thought-provoking dramas in TV history."
No.  It didn't pull itself together.  It shit itself.…

CLOSE-UP!  ZOOM!

Define "traditionally tuneful".

Guns N' Roses doesn't fit with many other bands.

They're trying to do this on network television, so they've got this problem where the bad guy can't be TOO bad.  At a certain point, there's this uncomfortable suggestion that His Evil Half beats women — which makes the underlying premise worse because His Good Half is almost completely unaware of those actions,…

I loved that argument between Pam and Jim.  How it arose organically, how they both threw the blame back at each other without being able to see the other person's POV, how it ended abruptly without resolution.  The show can go from maddeningly, unreasonably cartoonish to heartbreakingly REAL in one beat.  And it is…

Wonder how they secured Nic Cage.  Probably just asked him.

I am swayed by your argument.  It did feel forced.  A beat that needed to happen dramatically — the point where he finally changes.  I appreciate how aggressive his failure is portrayed throughout but we're not really given the change.  There is that small moment in the elevator where his nose starts bleeding from the…

Good point, @avclub-c5f441cd5f43eb2f2c024e1f8b5d00cd:disqus .  While I was with the movie throughout, by the time the credits started to roll I didn't get a sense of what this was all really about.  Denzel Washington delivers a monologue toward the end that reminded me of Tom Hanks's monologue toward the end of…
