This is going waaaaaaay back to when I was just in first or second grade, but the book that scared me the most, bar none, was one of those early simple readers.  It was titled 'Pompeii…Buried Alive!' and there were illustrations of people cowering in fear/pain as ash and rock rained down upon them.  Why the fuck would

GANGBANG.  NOT.  ORGY.  I first read 'It' before I really knew much about sex and it was a complete WTF moment.

I don't care about good music either.  Wait, is this a trick?

I'm of mixed thought on Jeff not axing Penner.  While he might regret it later, what good is it to keep Katie?  If they don't merge, she's a liability in challenges.  If they do merge, Penner has an idol and is on Jeff's side.  If they keep Katie, her benefit to them is nothing more than a body to throw in front of a

Haven't seen this episode yet, but it's good to hear that it's focusing on stuff that I might actually care about.  All of the island community scenes and what-not do not engage me in the slightest.  Stick with the fact that there is a rogue armed nuclear sub just chilling.  That's drama enough.  I was close to giving

I'm sure she is seeing a therapist and I'm sure we could get some interesting stuff from that, but unfortunately the show would like us to watch Mike make googly eyes at Jessica and then look sadly into the dark for ten minutes each episode, thus eliminating time for therapy.

Maybe that subplot blossoms into something, but the characters seem really really really one-dimensional—a rarity for this show that sticks out like a sore thumb.  The same had been the case for Dana for most of the first season (OMGZ rebellious teenager doesn't like her mom and just wants to get high!) before they

You can say he isn't all that committed to the cause, and in general I agree, but how much of it was lack of commitment and how much of it was just being a human being with a bomb strapped to his chest who pulled the trigger and had nothing happen?  What a mind fuck that would be.  The important part of it all is that
