That bit created weird Adventure Time/"Two Bad Neighbors" cross-over in my head.

You're probably right but even putting the pilot there and then moving it to 10pm Thurs might've been a better idea. Would increase the sampling size at least a little bit. But yeah, here's hoping there's enough positive buzz to keep people watching.

They get called "factual" programs here in Australia as well. It is essentially just Newspeak nonsense trying to avoid the negative connotations of the "reality" label.

You could do that with reviews of anything or anyone at all who has a widely respected oeuvre.

It's weird, because I quite like Mister Lies, who is rather similar, but am rarely a fan of James Blake songs. I tend not to be that interested in more ambient R&B (prefer stuff like Rhye, for example) but I've never really caught this particular wave.

Question: why the fuck is NBC wasting a post-Voice timeslot on Ready for Love when it could be putting Hannibal there?

Well goddamn played, sir.

The whole thing was great. It gave me major faggotstroke. I can't wait.

Even the brilliant Weekend didn't quite crack $500k (which is still very respectable considering a no-name director/stars).

Ugh, yawn, if you're one of those exhausting people who isn't satisfied unless every single tiny thing is exactly like reality then there's nothing that will save you. Will IS the show, he's the perspective from which we are experiencing almost everything to the point where the viewer sees the murders through his…

Ah. I think your problem is that you've missed some moments. If you can't see the empathy thing coming through in his nearly bursting into tears when talking to the parents of the dead girl, then you might need a little more time with the show (not saying this in a disparaging way, the pilot is a bit muddled and…

I watched that scene thinking the whole time, "FOR GOD'S SAKE IF LECTER KILLS ONE OF THESE DOGS SOMEHOW."

Ahhh okay, that makes more sense.

Wait. You really like it, but you don't think it's good, but you think the writing is excellent? I don't see how it's possible to think these three things in conjunction with each other. No poorly-written show is good, nor the opposite.

It must be exhausting to be you.

It did turn the bird's word lurid.

That said, the phrase "Sea Tunt" is fucking hilarious.

Well, it's not really homophobic at all. That's what we do, and it does (well, can) shut us up.
