"Like, who has had their career destroyed or even damaged by socially-minded criticism?"

It's simpler than Skyrim's system. You only have the 7 SPECIAL attributes now, and they still go from 1-10. Every attribute has its own perk "tree", which is just a straight line from perk 1 (unlocked by having 1 in the attribute) to perk 10 (you can guess).

Leaving episode quality aside, Masters of Sex is now pulling half of its season one audience. It's Showtime's lowest rated drama and second lowest rated scripted show overall (beating Episodes by a hair). Thankfully the show seems relatively cheap to make.

I hope there'll be spinoff series called "2Be2Tween"

I almost forgot: the budget on the original also seemed a lot higher. I watched the series back to back, so the effect was especially striking when I saw the Aussie show doing extensive outdoors shoots in pseudo-Thailand and various Aussie villages while Forest was spending three episodes on the same generic city…

The darkest moment was surely the one where he tested serial killing by doing just that.

I watched the Aussie original between seasons and found it to be vastly better; I imagine it would only have gotten A++++s here if it had been reviewed. Can't really go back to the remake one now, sorry Andy.

I wonder why English speakers are starting to spell "madrasah" with an "h" at the end when there's no such thing in Arabic (and would be impossible due to the language's standardized female singular endings). Is it to prevent people from accidentally saying "madras-eyy" or something? Then you might as well put an "h"…

It's closer to "my darling" or "my honey" than "friend".

The original Rake has an episode about Sam Neill having sex with his dog and Rake putting together a bestiality defense based around the dog being the horny one in the relationship.
Stuck with me for many years, very profound.

The AV Club is calling it "new" because it hasn't been screened in the U.S. yet. Obviously this kind of ludicrous pretense is instrumental in curbing online piracy.

Progress, at least.
