I'm with O'Neal here. Orlando Bloom has always seemed to lack substance to me, both physically and, like, thespically (That's a word, right?). Most young women seem to be over him these days, too. I don't see it. Spin again, fellas.

My local NBC station was dropping disclaimers, all through Zimmerman's trial, that NBC was being sued by Zimmerman, and that they "strongly denied" his assertions. I wondered about the context of the suit, but not too much.

I know that the selling point of the Newsroom is the immortal lines of Aaron Sorkin, but really wish the show did more visually. I'm not calling for crazy, pinwheeling, Coen Brothers camerawork, but I feel the show's lack of visual flair contributes to the overall feeling of stodginess.

I always call her Grace Cathedral Park, after that Red House Painters song.

He who cancels this show too soon sucks cock by choice!

Plus, DC's been informed that they can't call it Collider anymore. There's apparently a copyright conflict. The book will now be called FBP: Federal Bureau of Physics

Sidekick didn't look like a good project from the beginning, as the debased kid sidekick story has been worked over before. Anyone remember Rick Veitch's Brat Pack? And along with JMS' warmed-over concept, Tom Mandrake just seemed like the wrong artist for it. Mandrake has distinguished himself on the Spectre, and

Given the dialog and character contortions he runs through here, I'm surprised we haven't seen any Dean Norris panic attacks on this show.

Norrie: I don't need anything from you, Joe!

I watched, like, the last 4 episodes of season 2 on Friday. Joseph basically spurned Ruth, feeling guilty about killing her father. Ruth was too busy fending off Sean at the time.

Ah, AV Club… You polish the show up for a week (okay, longer than that), then you turn a troll loose on it. So predictable.

Talking Mad. Please, God, no.

Really, how many people watch the Bachelor and the Bachelorette?

At least, Vince Gilligan is a little more media-savvy and engaging than Robert Kirkman and those shlubs from the Walking Dead, who sit on the sofa like tree mold and give up nothing.

Oh, dear God… Not Chop Chop…

About All-New X-Men: I'll admit I'm a few months behind on reading these, but Jean Grey kisses just about everybody, doesn't she?

I gave up on the idea of a Grey Matter flashback as early as season 2. The portrayal of Walt in that season 1 flashback as confident and virile, was basically rendered moot by the haggard, cancerous Walt that Cranston then gave us.

Say what you will, it matters how you leave your audience. That is why Lost and Battlestar Galactica's conclusions will always be a sore spot for some viewers. But those matter less to me than the Sopranos, whose ending has effected how I approach the show today.

One of the things that I love about Breaking Bad: Holding some things back until the perfect moment.

Of course it matters. Walt's fate aside, we all want to see which of the other characters are called to account for their greater and lesser sins. Will Jesse be punished for the murderous criminal that he has been, or saved as the repentant, guilt-ridden man he has become? Will Hank put Walt in jail, or end up on the
