Jax felt the need to come clean about the other president he killed which meant he would be marked for death but he didn't want to burden his club with doing the deed so he took care of it himself. I don't think Jax was looking for any kind of redemption, he only wanted to settle as many of the club's loose ends as he…

Jax explained that attempting suicide meant that you were unreliable. For Jax this was more of a sacrifice since the other presidents had already decided his death but his men didn't want to do it themselves. And technically he was already out of the club when he killed himself.

I don't think you need to be depressed or mentally ill to commit suicide. While I agree that the club's reasons for deciding to kill Jax felt somewhat contrived (the other guy pulled a gun first) once the decision was made his fate was sealed. He spared his club the burden of doing it themselves but if he had escaped…

I read an interview where Nolan said he wrote the Joker's agent of chaos speech because the Warner Bros executives were confused as to what the Joker's motives were.

I recently read "Difficult Men" which explores the writer's rooms of various cable shows and it touches on how the other writers for Shield thought Shawn Ryan indulged Sutter's more outlandish ideas too much, often leading to conflict behind the scenes.

Yeah, I think it would have made more sense for Tommy to have revealed that he tracked Gillian down and she told him exactly what happened to Jimmy. Perhaps that is what happened but Tommy's exact motives aren't clear and that interview with Winter doesn't really clarify them.

As far as directing goes, I'd give this show a close second but I think True Detective beats it out.

Tommy was adopted at around 7 which means he would at least have vague memories of his biological family. I'm sure the things he witnessed at that brothel in particular made an impression on him so I can see him becoming more curious about his origins as he got older. Its not uncommon for adopted children to feel that…

The more I think about it the more I like how they chose to do Chalky's death. Much like Nucky, Chalky's story this season has been one of regret, self loathing, and wondering whether or not someone like him was worthy of redemption. In the end he does get a sort of redemption. His first daughter died when she got…

Because the chance that Narcisse will keep his word weighed more to him than his revenge. If he was lying than Daughter's situation doesn't change, if he's telling the truth she could have a much better life.

Chalky gave up so Narscisse would help Daughter's music career. He realized she needed him and that was more important than his revenge.

Chalky acknowledges that Narcisse may very well not keep his word but in that case Daughter will probably be no worse off than she is now. She's left Narcisse before and she can get away from him again if she needs to. But if theres any chance that he will give her and her child a better life then Chalky has to take…

I think Olicity is going to be this show's Cordelia and Angel for me. I just can't get on board with this pairing.

Well the Kingdom Hearts for 3DS used characters from "The World Ends With You", so hopefully that means we'll see characters from other Square franchises in Kingdom Hearts III.

I remember how long I had to search for this game before finally finding a used copy at Gamestop for a ridiculous price. It was well worth it. The time travel aspect and how it tied into the gameplay was fairly innovative for its time and there were so many secrets to discover. I'm kind of surprised that Square hasn't…

It's a title but unlike most titles such as "King" or "Queen" you can address someone directly as Khalessi as though it were a name. So it's not like its wrong to call her that especially since Jorah uses it with her so often.

She spit in her drink because the woman insulted her. Not directly, but when they talked about Amy on tv she insulted her without realizing they were the same person (I forgot exactly what was said but she basically called her spoiled and entitled.)

What it's satirizing about marriage (and in general) is the way people present themselves to be someone other than who they really are. In order to win back the sympathy of the public, Nick has to go on tv and present himself as the sympathetic husband who just wants to make things right with his wife. Amy later tells…

What this film is satirizing is marriage and the way the media handles stories. It then absolutely pushes the points it is making to absurdity.
