I like this show
And c'mon, it's not like anything ever *really* happens on procedurals like CSI or House, save for a season-ending twist now and again . . . I much prefer seeing characters slowly develop and, if not change, deal with the world in a realistic fashion.

Todd, I know, but I think it's funny that 8-11 is still considered (in this day and age) to be prime time. Plenty of the younger demo (which is the most desirable, no?) is watching TV as early as 6:00, and have many more ways in which to do it. Also, for those who DVR (but can only tape two things at once), putting…

Yet another TKO for an FX show? That's unfortunate. Or could it be that FX, a cable network, simply can't compete on Tuesday and Wednesday nights, at least, not with new shows? I wonder what their 11:00 numbers would look like, when they'd be premiering new, scripted television against (for the most part) crappy…

Will Checkmate show up and start suing people, too?

Haha, I had the same thoughts. But I lovingly dismissed them. When you start pulling moves out of the Bullseye canon, I start giving shows plenty of excuses.

The pacing of the dialogue, the setting up of viewpoints, even the actual paneling of certain action shots — it looks more like a visual comic than Heroes, and so far it's more original. (Was there a plot in Heroes that wasn't stolen almost exactly from X-Men, straight down to the powers?) I'll continue to maintain…

Agreed, Brisco had better acting, and the first season's orb-time-travel plot actually sort of fit together. But half the time they weren't even bothering to come up with good reasons for things; they just wanted to find satisfying cliffhangers.

And Boom!
He's absolved of Raisin in the Sun.

Hate-fest! The Old Spice commercials — the really crazy ones for Power — in particular come to mind. Though perhaps I could just pick *any* zany commercials and still be accurate, albeit not empiric.

Oh, and I'm so glad they didn't even bother trying to hide Orwell's origins. I'm just surprised that brilliant "see-three-moves-ahead" grandmaster Chess hasn't figured out yet that (a) his daughter is no longer locked up and (b) that the mysterious new hero, "The Cape," is harassing people with specific questions…

Gotta Say….
I'm loving this show. And your recap's not half-bad either. If anything, I'd like to see them go even further with making fun of the comic-book nature of the hero and the show (it's not a super-hero show, it's a comic-book show); personally, I"d have loved Gregor to make a joke about the carnival being…

Making your movie stupid on purpose is not brilliant, it's a lazy man making the most of what he has. I've seen commercials that do far more with far less, and considering Statham's ouvre, I don't buy that it's "intentionally" being made that way. And I don't want to get into a nerd fight, but let's be clear about…

Oh, and I'm replying to this because I've never watched and never will watch Jersey Shore. If it were scripted, I'd tune in, but the only reason to watch these jokers on TV instead of at the local bars is because you're safe in the comfort of your own home. It's like watching the Animal Planet instead of going to a…

You, sir, lie. Crank 2 was a video game masquerading as pop art in the guise of a non-interactive film that attempted to coast by in the action-camp genre that only Sam Raimi has ever truly nailed (or chainsawed).

No, no, no….
Seriously? This was one of the better Chuck episodes I've seen in a while — the whole idea of turning the proposal into a sub-mission "married" (if you'll excuse the term) the themes of this season rather well, and though I'm not sure where the whole double-agent thing can possibly go, there was plenty of…

Hmm….
Can't I just watch "Kids" again? What does "Skins," either the BBC or US version, offer that a film like that doesn't? I mean, surely teen life has changed in the last five, if not fifteen years, no?

It doesn't really seem like Alex is the sort of person to put his issues onto Haddie and to make her deal . . . I mean, if they're worried about her growing up too fast and dealing with real-world problems, they shouldn't let her volunteer at a soup kitchen or homeless shelter where she might, gasp, find out what…

Oh yeah?
Hey, if watching this buzzed on Friday night helped it, then maybe there's hope for Fringe moving to Friday after all! (Though I'll continue to watch that sober, thank you very much.)

Dallas Roberts
Yeah, it looks like now that Rubicon is canceled, Roberts may have more time. Then again, I admire that The Good Wife doesn't shoehorn characters in; when they need Noth or Cummings, they use them, when not, they don't. (The same goes for the kids.) Whatever contract they've worked out with the ensemble…

Yeah, c'mon. Have the fans of V ever given us anything as inspired as this? http://www.youtube.com/watc…
