I think that scene implied pretty heavily that Lizzie killed the sick refugees. Her cutting up the rabbit was a direct echo of the dissected rabbit Tyreese found right before the Governor's attack. Carol was covering for her with Rick.

I will keep banging the drum for Profit until it's recapped by the AV Club. "Ahead of its time" is practically its subtitle as nearly everyone who's seen it feels it would have excelled on cable ten years ago instead of crashing and burning on Fox twenty years ago.

It's really not - and this is coming from someone who tried to convince everyone he knows to watch because how can you miss with that premise, modern tech and Ian Freaking McKellen!

I'd recommend watching it for Miriam Shor. Her character starts out as the neighborhood bore but has the best arc and acting of anyone in the cast.

Yeah, ABC really dropped the ball on that, especially since Jeremy Renner blew up right after it was cancelled with The Hurt Locker.

Eh, the first season is decent but it's not great. The main issue is that the leads just aren't great actors - Jason Behr is wooden as hell and I still laugh when I think about TWoP's nicknaming Shiri Appleby "Lizbot" and mocking her inability to pronounce"-ing" without it sounding like "-ink". It's a prime example of

I remember how Harding and Midori Ito were talked about going into the Olympics - one announcer compared Ito to a fire hydrant for her physique. And then even Kerrigan couldn't beat the Ukrainian waif (although to be fair, when on her game Baiul was one of the most graceful skaters of the last 30 years).

It's Tuesday nights on UPN in 2004 all over again! Hopefully minus all the crappy American Eagle ads.

While there was definitely some of that, I also saw it as women being written as people who sometimes just want to have sex, like men have been written for years. It wasn't that they all loved him deeply or were obsessed with him, more that they were in the mood and he was available.

They tried this when Yauch died - the remaining Boys didn't really give a shit and there's already a park in Brooklyn named after him. http://www.rollingstone.com…

Thanks for the info - that definitely makes sense as the Lorre influence has become much more overt without the Roberts elements to ground them in some sort of reality.

When this show first started, it was an odd mix of a sweet small-scale romantic comedy (scenes with Mike and Molly together) and broad, crass throwback humor (usually Molly's family). I thought it was due to the creator Brad Roberts coming up with the idea and then the scripts getting polished by Lorre's team - they

And Ben Whishaw!

And now I want to see Stacy Keach as Ron Swanson's dad on Parks and Rec. It needs to happen.

That moment in "New Girl" was the moment my girlfriend (now fiancee) and I gave up on it. That the writers had Julia come back around to Jess after correctly calling her on her MPDG bullshit instead of the other way around was a complete cop-out.

There's just not that much to begin with. Kenny's the headliner on a regional sports show - I'd be surprised if he's making more than 200K a year. He's blowing through it way too quickly and if Stevie's getting a manager's fee, he probably paid deposits on the chin and eye work and put the rest on credit.

It's a rare finale that can bring closure to two shows at once, but A2A did it. Finding out the real Gene's story (awkward rookie cop murdered and buried in a shallow grave) was devastating and finding him reborn as a spiritual ferryman for cops crossing over was a touching choice.

And it's likely that his warden (responsible for the possible starving) was Bolingbroke's half-brother, son of John of Gaunt and his longtime mistress/third wife Kat Swynford - someone who clearly answered directly to Henry IV.

The term "Beast" was first mentioned by the Juarez girl. Gina Meadows is the one who conflated it with her father's murderer. I would call Tate the bridge murderer, but not the faceless "Beast".
