Nice to see Beth's uselessness level walked back to Kitchen Appliance.

It's not that the zombies are too weak to run. It's that the zombies aren't *coordinated* enough to run.

As soon as they handcuffed Hershel to the bunk, I started anticipating a flesh-ripping wrist dislocation moment. Glad to see that did not go unsatisfied. Hooray for misdirection!

Metamorphosis
If Portman doesn't actually turn into a human sized swan in this film to the apparent disgust and horror of the other characters - regardless of whether they are reacting to her actual mutant swan-ness or just her absolute insanity from thinking she's a swan, and it's better if that's left ambiguous - I…

I'd add that explosive intestinal flowers trump a hot Adamantium injection on the Seriousness Scale.

I was halfway expecting Kurt to be turned on by Will's "Law & Order: Juvenile Delinquency" routine. But then I was so blindsided by his Muppet outfit that my brain stopped working.

Supporting arguments for Merrit Weaver's amazingness. Exhibit A.

But then after the episode ended and I thought about it for a bit, it occurred to me that if Jin had left her to escape the sub, there was no way of knowing if he wouldn't be…

The writers have an interesting conundrum with Kate. Evangeline Lily's minimum episode involvement notwithstanding, the show operates in a state of denial regarding this character: it treats her as if she's a fan favorite or even useful in any way, which is the exact opposite of how most people feel. Giving her a…

Facinelli's sad puppy face alone was worth a write up this week.

I was squirming while Moosh was so spineless for several episodes but the result was well worth it. I forget that that's how he roles: slow pressure buildup until he explodes and burns the motherfucker down.
