Wouldn't getting sucked in to your spouse's scheming be more of a Macbeth mode than a Lady Macbeth mode?

A certain adulterer—for privacy's sake let's call her Skyler W.—no, that's too obvious, let's say S. White—

Like a lot of people who may or may not be great artists, Gore Vidal was also apparently sort of terrible as a human being: http://tigerbeatdown.com/20…

Seinfeld, Friends, and basically any popular live-action comedy debuting before Malcolm in the Middle are multi-cam. Malcolm in the Middle, Scrubs, and Arrested Development are single-cam.

I watched the second and third seasons in their entirety. I found it pleasant enough, and agree that some episodes were very good, but a movie just feels so needless to me. I didn't mean to suggest that it would be crazy to like Bored to Death; I meant that it seems odd to me that a show so minor (I don't think this…

I am genuinely struggling to conceive of a single person liking Bored to Death enough to be excited for this news.

It seems to me that if the show is good, it shouldn't be that big a deal if it only came into being due to "nepotism," and if the show is lousy, "nepotism" could potentially explain that, but it doesn't actually make the show worse.

I don't know what this says about the the theory the only fans who weren't satisfied by the sixth season are heartless mystery-lovers who don't care about characters, but I remember being moved by all of these except the last two, which left me pretty cold.

Here's the issue for me: the greatness of the characters and themes and what-have-you of Lost were mostly dependent on the larger "plot," and when there's no weight behind that plot, character and thematic resolutions feel sort of cheap to me. For instance, when I think of the great moments of Lost, one that always…

Was "fallow" the adjective associated with yellow? If so, "Fallow Yellow" would have been a much better title than "The Vest."

Skyler is dope. I always loved her in the first three seasons ("Perhaps I smoked them in a fugue state," "no more of these desperate, obvious breakfasts," etc.). I'm not really sure she was well-used in season 4, though.

I think Homeland's good, and sometimes extraordinarily good, but the writing/moving-from-point-a-to-point-b mechanics have seemed sort of lazy to me. [VAGUE SPOILERS COMING UP]: On the small scale, the tea reveal seemed very contrived to me, and on the large scale, the Isa explanation, while basically fine, wasn't…
