Is "snatches" really the optimal word choice? How about "tucks into"?

much better ass than Jagger's.

Watching Monday's episode on DVR, I was thinking, "they need to get back to using professional comics more." The songwriters/sports/actors/etc may have one or two good lines but there isn't the consistency or originality of the best comics. But ending the show altogether isn't the solution to that problem…oh well,

I didn't remember that BUT couldn't that be Jimmy thinking fast, and giving a name of someone who is, in fact, no longer around? Anyway, BCS writers have a lot of ways to go with Nacho, and they probably don't want to let go of the character anytime soon. I'm just saying - until we get a pre-credit sequence at

I don't think it's wise to invest too much in Nacho's future. He wasn't in Breaking Bad…Gus was, Salamanca was (albeit in a wheelchair), Tuco was…but what can be Nacho's future, if he apparently wasn't around in the BB years…

Cornell's death on stage in London?

The two moments from The Comeback that spring to mind for me:

I see your point but I also read (and I can't explain why I bothered) that since that campaign and the change, Dominos is raking it in. So I guess for them, the campaign worked…
I don't eat DOminos because I'm the type who usually buys frozen four cheese and dresses it up. So who am I to judge…

I haven't scrolled through all the comments, so there may be other "outliers" in the general praise for the Bates Motel finale and series overall. I watched the series from the beginning and was almost always entertained, but I found the final season a bit of a drag and I wasn't moved by the finale. It's pretty

Yeah I'm hooked on this show from NHK World. It's on Friday nights. Barely 5 minutes long. They do these wildly inventive Rube Goldberg routines every opening and a shorter one at closing. Always ends with the Japanese letter for "pi" popping up (from "pi-ta-go-ra su-wi-chi," for Pythagora Switch). In between they

It was possibly my exhausted state last night as I watched this on DVR, but I found this episode annoying. I enjoyed the first two seasons. The actors for this season are fine. I guess, though, that the first two seasons have set a template for what the series will be and watching this episode hit its marks with

"little Asian fella"?! Is that you, Chris Rock?

Total rip-off of Kenny Loggins's "oh geez."

In opera nerd mode here: the Met has not staged Der Freischutz in many years, even decades. Nor has any other major American opera house, as far as I know. Must be a favorite of someone on Elementary writing staff. It is a great score, but it's considered problematic to stage. It has spoken dialogue, which isn't

I just watched Florence Foster Jenkins last night. I know this is a tired, dumb thing to argue/worry about, but how the hell is Hugh Grant a "supporting actor" in FFJ? That would be Simon Something-or-other as Cosme the pianist. Then again, Jeff Bridges seemed like the lead in Hell or High Water too.

I've as little real interest in baking as I do in women's fashion, but I surprised myself by enjoying this show as much as I did Project Runway, which I only came around to in season 3 or 4. I started in on GBBS last season about half-way through.

Great show and now overshare time - I had a Korean American "fun buddy" (you know what I mean) and that shot of Young Hee's husband naked on his stomach brought back some sweet memories…some people just look a lot better naked that you'd ever imagine seeing them clothed. The converse unfortunately is often true as

A corollary is suitcases. Characters are always easily lifting and strolling along with large suitcases that couldn't possibly be packed with more than a handkerchief or two. Or tossing them on beds where they make no sound or imprint.

Silicon Valley the show has to walk a tricky line between the reality of the subtle (and not so subtle) racism and sexism of the actual Silicon Valley and the show's satire of same. A couple of times this episode I (a very white man recently turned 60) I felt like the show was a little too close to the line. I didn't

By sheer coincidence I recently started watching a KDrama called School 2013, and that actress is the female lead, playing your classic "idealistic young teacher." She is amazingly charismatic. I don't know where Conan got 5'7" from. She's surely barely over five feet.
