Two things: First, the carnage was described with a number of casualties and a number of injuries, even though an injury is a casualty, so whatever.  Second, what was the stage direction to the extras in the evacuation center?  "I want you all to make large figure-eights walking around this gym… yeah, we know that…

… or this week!  she bashed him on the head with the bottle, grabbed a fork off the table to jab at the same spot she did last episode… then grabs a carving knife to… free the two hostages of their ropes?  learn from your mistakes claire!  finish him off before you run!

also funny line: you have the eloquence and urgency of a census worker caught in a bear trap (cletus to homer)

Please don't put this show on the best of decade list. For the reasons this show is good, I agree; for the reasons this show is great, I agree… with the caveat that this show's greatness is undercut by its comic book pacing. The sheer quantity of plot already chewed through by Sons would have taken The Sopranos or…

America: The Book is the most grievously overlooked book on this list. Defend yourselves, bastards!

Shit I think you forgot:
I won't ask any of these albums off (though there are several that belong only on the most overrated list of records of the 000's) but I'd like to offer 4 that I think were left off unfairly (in order of righteousness): clap your hands say yeah- self titled, the flaming lips- yoshimi battles…

first to ignore the fact that the dude at the end is wearing a product from baron underbeit's fashion line.

Whale Wars is actually kind of awesome. At least the first season was and the second season has its moments. The show is great exactly because the leadership is so at odds with the crew. None of the guys who call the shots have done anything they ask these volunteers to do and the conflict that follows is awesome. …

Best shot in the series
Was that last shot of the episode. Gemma smashes down the serving tray, food goes all over; she's crying and clearly broken. Meanwhile the table is set beautifully for the whole club and the satellites to gather round and be together, Gemma's impeccably constructed ideal shattered by the…

"Maybe the reason it's stupid is because it's also scary and embarrassing, and afterwards, you could wind up a better person."
I liked the idea that Chase went for confession. I would have liked a lot longer time in that conversation and I wish the priest weren't a curt bastard, but like the subject of the quote…

Marco Pierre White was the chef, Chopping Block the show. I watched the episodes that aired and it failed because it went too gimmicky. The competitors were pairs— husband/wife, mother/daughter, best friends, etc. and nobody was particularly talented. Restaurant Wars are always great because it's about the food and…

Wine Pairing
I know this is nitpicking, but if I were a cheftestant (still hating that they insist on this portmanteau) I would have preferred tasting such fine wine with the glasses they intended on serving it in… wide mouth plastic cups in this case… rather than the sommelier's preferred stemware. Wine tastes…

The English are the best. I think it stems from their long long long hatred of the French. They all seem to speak the language (or at least know all the words) and then aggressively mispronounce it all, like there was a king once who did it to piss some Louie off an epoch ago, and the annoying joke just stuck.

I'm not a foodie
I'm nowhere near dealing w/ all of the bullshit it takes to whip up a lot of those sauces, much less monied enough to buy any of those proteins at Whole Foods, but I thought this episode was better than a B (and I would know, that was my college GPA).
