Though The Lost World is based on a flimsy premise, I'm kind of glad Crichton didn't write the story you'd expect: not just because Jurassic Park's ending works as well as it does by only hinting that the unnerving possibility Malcolm predicted has come true, but also because it let the novel be its own thing. Unusual…

In general, if you know in advance that someone was speaking with a fake accent, I think it's pretty much impossible to gauge how you would have reacted without that knowledge.

Part 6 is absolutely the best one, and - on topic! - sort of a Scream precursor in its playful self-awareness.

I guess it was a pretty good approximation, in that the coolness of the monster was directly proportional to the inanity of the plot and characterization.

These lyrics are dumb like a linoleum floor.

I had to laugh when I saw the title. After all that speculation about what the new "R" would be, they up and went with the dullest, most videogamey option.

I fully expect any new monsters to be grounded in Godzilla 2014's version of reality, which means hook-handed space cyborgs and technicolor robo-men are probably out.

When all is said and done I was very fond of Hannibal, but it could be absolutely barking mad and not always in a good way.

That "drop" definitely landed with a thud. Forgive me.

It would've been ridiculous, but their relationship is ridiculous, and the show is ridiculous, and I was honest-to-God expecting it to happen.

Possibly the best example yet of the lunacy of NBC's Standards and Practices Department was the mere two-minute gap between their blurring Richard Armitage's ass and the graphic scene of him biting someone's lips off.

More importantly, it proves that their value comes from not overusing them. I think Cricket appears once, occasionally twice a season? The show deserves extra credit for restraint.

It's a (rare?) episode in which the B plot is way, way better than the A plot. The poop story is pretty one-note, as befits a poop story, but Dee's attempt to form a Sex & the City gang is hilarious.

For a few moments of shameful naiveté, I was sure that "Charlie Work" was going to earn Always Sunny some attention.

Yes, I loved how that got vaguely creepy out of nowhere.

That is a legitimate tour-de-force performance. Adomian is incredible.

Different strokes and all that, but I disagree with this and get kinda miffed at how frequently it comes up. The first season is absolutely worth watching; it's not as good or as confident as it is when it finds its footing (seemingly immediately) at the start of the second season, but it began righting itself after…

And is sincerely great in it. He brought lots of personality to that role, which may have been a detriment since it threw everyone else's lack of it into relief.

She was great on Hollywood Handbook, too.
