Literally every show on the CW could be completely destroyed by any of the characters simply asking: "wait a minute… when's the last time you've seen a physically unattractive person?"

Did it overheat? Wait…

Afghanistan is literally a geographical location in which you do not want to fight wars (or, you know, be for any reason) so I think it has the edge.

This is a better role for her than her Justified role. They're both a bit on-the-nose, but the Justified role subverted her subtlety at every turn. She couldn't lie or be quietly menacing for two seconds without having to do some melodramatic hand-waving in the next scene.

Your words say one thing, but her behavior said another. That's a disjunction worth exploring.

The worst thing about being human is that you'll watch shows about werewolves and vampires even if they're not very good. The worst thing about Being Human is difficult to identify because it manages to achieve below-average-but-not-fascinatingly-terrible marks across virtually all categories.

Socially retarded people have always been a problem at shows. Symptoms change. People don't.

Speaking as someone who doesn't particularly enjoy spending extended periods of time with my sibling, doesn't like nature, and thinks a game about dragons having sex actually sounds fairly amusing, I'm going to side with your sister.

The actress playing Juliette is somebody's granddaughter. She has to be. Some fat, jowled blob of a man who smokes big cigars and thinks robber barons had keen fashion sense wobbled into some poor NBC schmuck's office and said "well now, you have this nice new show, and my granddaughter, she always wanted to be an…

Inside every aw-shucks Walton is a smarmy authoritarian asshole waiting to be unleashed. This was the role he was both born and bred to play. I'm loving it. His particular brand of authoritarian smarminess is also just so perfectly in tune with Reagan's administration (well, everybody except for Reagan himself, that…

Sadly, I don't think they can square it. They overshot the exposition (for no reason, really) and they were punished for it by the huge continuity error they introduced. It's so bad that they really ought not even try to fix it. What are they going to do - suggest that there's some big conspiracy that required the…

The timing's not horrible, though. The guy's much older, ate a bunch of shit for reasons that only became clearer during this episode, and until that bag got found, nobody had been seriously looking for him for decades.

They were pretty drunk and on the waning side of middle age, so I don't think they could've reliably hit him whilst distracted by his own inept gunshots.

Thom Yorke makes an excellent case for the guitar being a shortcut instrument. I listened to Ingenue, and once the pieces fell into place (something that was cleverly and tastefully withheld in the first 20 seconds or so,) I could immediately sense the traditional guitar/chord progression underpinning of the song.

You guys aren't giving Stan enough credit. He implied - just subtly enough so that she wouldn't think about it too hard - that Nina's level of output was linked to how soon she'd be exfiltrated. In the back of her mind she's probably convinced herself that the dick-sucking is a sprint, not a marathon.

That deserves a thoroughly non-ironic medal. If the CW has taught me anything, it's that any sufficient critical mass of attractive people becomes viciously subhuman and incapable of logical thought.

A scripted, produced television special about how a particular show - or even a collection of shows - is ruining America wouldn't garner a ROI worth a damn in today's television environment.

Well, Scream wasn't terrible, and it was a movie. I don't think TV has a unique obsession.

The first time the dialogue was irredeemably shitty, they revealed 30 seconds later that it was spoken on the show-within-a-show. That was cool.

When he and Matt got on that train (metaphorically speaking,) it was quite possibly the most tragic lampshading any show has ever done.
