It's slightly different watching on DVD than watching live. Live watchers were on the spectrum of exhausted/annoyed/pissed, but I've found that people who watched the entire series on DVD are more forgiving.

Not even close to "Nina is the mole" — you're thinking "The Killing" ended with a "twist", like a "6th Sense" or "The Usual Suspects" style thing. But a good twist is one you never saw coming, but in retrospect (or the second viewing), everything is completely consistent with the twist, and you're blown away like…

Oh yeah, true, I have seen a couple episodes of the Wire, and they do do their jobs like normal people. Somehow, I can never get into the mindset to watch it though. It's so damn serious, and I kind of like my tv at least a bit silly (ex: Revenge is my favorite new show).

My favorite thing about this episode was that Alicia fucked up at work. There was no mitigating circumstance, no failure as a result of someone else's duplicity, no reason why she might not have done something she should have done. It was just one of those mistakes that actually happens to people at work in real life,…

In response to your second comment, all I can think is that clearly Danny Glover is a Time Lord.

I think it was a time constraint thing. I was really expecting Emma Caulfield to know who Sophie really was and double cross Nate, only for him to triple cross her because he knew she knew all along.

Yeah that was very strange; I was like, wait, was Murtaugh really that old back when he was too old for this shit?  It's not like interracial marriage was gung ho with everyone — or even legal in every state — by the start of the 60s.

Except James Callis started off great, and as the series progressed, it seemed he got tired of it so they gave him some orgy groupies or something. On the other hand, both Alexander Siddig and the character Bashir were sofuckingannoying when the series began, but, happily, right around the time the writers decided to…

Untrue on both counts. The Dominion and the Jem Hadar were introduced early in the 2nd season, in an "amusing" Ferengi episode ("Rules of Aquisition"), of all the counterintuitive things.

That's the amazing thing about DS9, though — in the context of Star Trek, "In the Hands of the Prophets" is just another groan-inducing morality play. But in the context of DS9, it's packed with foreshadowing and political intrigue.

Here's my argument: Despite a general lack of attention to detail, including plot holes, inconsistencies, and inadvertently backwards morality, Avatar is a well-filmed movie, and exciting to watch in the moment.

LOL, Yale wasn't Paris' safety. Paris, like thousands of kids in the country, didn't get into Harvard even though she had perfect grades, extracurriculars, and SAT scores. Sometimes it's a crapshoot as to which colleges will accept you and which won't. Plus, Paris bombed her Harvard interview and wisely, didn't…

Very true! I can't stand Parenthood — too much first world whining for me — but I'm sometimes tempted to do a supercut of just scenes with Mae Whitman and Lauren Graham because they are SO AMAZING together.

Funny you mention that about Yalies —  everyone I knew at Barnard was into GG because that was Lauren Graham's alma mater.

Then, have I got a show for you: One Tree Hill. I've never watched it, but the reason Tristan left was because the actor, Chad Michael Murray, got the One Tree Hill gig.

Peggy was great, without reservation! Not only is she great with a pan, and protective of her knife set, Phil, you seem to have missed the part where she asked Parker to make an excuse to the elderly guy on her behalf.

I'm wondering what to make of the fact that you did spell Bachmann correctly, but then wrote "verticle".

I loved this episode because it managed to perfectly juggle characters, plotlines, and the case of the week. (What was up with GW's failure to do that in the first few episodes this season!?)

No, you saw "Remy Auberjonois" — Rene's son. He's a great actor and looks just like his dad (he was the bank guy - watch the scene again, paying special attention to his nose, and you'll see the resemblance)

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks the VP is in on it. Ever since Jamey Sheridan played Satan (or, Stephen King's Satan stand in) in the Stand miniseries, I've never quite trusted him.
