And I'll bet that cat's Twitter account makes a whole lot more sense than most of the celebrity ones out there. I mean, that cat really is bad ass, and I'm going to call it Non Sequitur for the rest of the season.

I'm with you on hating the Bostonian, and surprised that the judges were so taken with his all-over-the-place singing. But I can't join in on Team Pip; his expectations are high enough without needing me to root for him.

I believe it's 12 singers — I refuse to call them "artists" — per judge this year. And I gotta say, I like the way the negativity is playfully dispersed among the judges rather than directed at the contestants whom, as you note, are already better than average. I'd love to see So You Think You Can Dance do away with

If he's good, he's good. People do take bad news well from British accents, I've found.

Didn't they just make a big stink, too, about how Karen couldn't do a British accent?

You do know, Todd, that they rerun most of these shows at a later time slot, right? I catch all of these on DVR by taping Parenthood and SouthLAnd at 10:00, then taping the reruns of White Collar and Justified a few hours later.

Spaghetti beat me to it, but yeah, Full Throttle and Fate of Atlantis were terrific: the former for it's inventive puzzles (c'mon, navigating a mine-field with wind-up bunnies? using a demolition derby to build a ramp? the ridiculous final time-based puzzle in the airplane?) and the latter for not just the length and

Even taking you up on your suggestion, I've still got no idea how to actually get "clues," and now I've got to figure out how to change all of these new "friends" into a different category so my feed doesn't get filled with weird Zynga stuff.

And if Sawbuck weren't already killing it for me, Steam's latest Winter sale, plus the Humble Bundles, pretty much made sure I'd never play the PS3 again. SpaceChem has been absorbing most of my free time, at the least.

I have to say, so far as hidden picture games go, it's actually fun. BUT by forcing you to convince your friends to give it a shot, and then to actually collaborate in building the world, Zynga all but keeps people who *would* keep playing at an arm's length. I'm certainly not spending real money to unlock things, but

You're not, but seeing this list, I don't necessarily think Bulletstorm was good enough to get on it.

Yeah, you beat me to the punch on this one. In a season full of disappointing twists and obvious set-ups, it was fairly clear that the only reason for Dexter to use the church as the kill room was so that the writers could allow Deb to discover him there. And as far as I'm concerned, unless your show is filled with

Yeah, but wasn't her goal to kill as many cops as possible? I don't recall Travis wanting her to kill *just* Deb — he just wanted to make sure that she was one of the people who got killed.

This is really just more of a statement on the era of distracted television watching: with so much media out there, fewer and fewer people are simply sitting on the sofa and enjoying the drama/comedy before them. They're likely checking e-mails, doing home/housework, or surfing the Internet at the same time. If people

I actually don't think Coach's words to Ozzy are nonsensical. On the one hand, he's maybe going to get Ozzy's jury vote if he pulls the whole "I tried, but the numbers weren't there" shtick. On the other, Coach is worried that the other people on his tribe will realize that he's going to win if it comes down to jury

Agreed with the need for a new setting, and while I haven't beaten Revelations yet, II (or was it Brotherhood?) all but promised that the third *would* bring us to new places and times, considering it had to do with visiting the Assassin (or Templar?) Temples that were all around the world. (The mythos gets a little

The fact that you'd even question "Tara" and "In Treatment" simply because you don't see anybody else bringing them up here is just absurd; feel free to look at the AV Club pages for the grades and comments. The reason I've been "raining on the post-season afterglow" is precisely *because* this show pulled better

Absolutely, and I'm not defending Weeds, nor Californication, though I'd argue that both are centered around stronger central characters, more dramatic arcs, and sharper writing. They're not perfect shows — United States of Tara paid the price for being the best of them by getting cancelled — but I do feel that Hung

Given the non-ending of the season, they didn't really see it as a final episode either. Which means they either didn't know how to resolve anything (which is my bet, given the previous two seasons of work that have led up to this) or that they knew they were getting renewed for a fourth season and decided to just

In terms of how the Vice President could be in on it, and I do get the feeling that he is, wouldn't it have something to do with how Cheney made a lot of corporate money off of wars that got money into the hands of contractors? Consider the most recent season of Damages: "The War Will Never End." Something along those
