I'd pick Pam Poovey, Patsy Stone, and Lucille Bluth as my anti-Sex and the City drinking crew. I don't think I could stomach a green russian, though.

I was annoyed by the comment about "Miayaki's Japan" as well, given that some of his movies aren't set in Japan (or in any recognizable country). Not that the observation about the character isn't valid, but someone familiar with Miyazaki would have carefully qualified the statement because it's so profoundly at odds…

From The Venture Brothers. You'd probably like him. He also has a brother named Dean… and there's this guy with a mullet who drives a muscle car and listens to Zeppelin… and Ben Edlund wrote an episode or two.

Ghostfacers continuity nitpick: Ed and Harry mention that Spruce and Maggie left the Ghostfacers for normal lives, and they make it seem like a betrayal or sellout, but why does neither of them mention that Maggie is Ed's sister (and Harry's erstwhile sorta girlfriend)? Is she not talking to either them anymore, or…

"You can go your own way…"

Depends on how you feel about the Duplass brothers in general. It's cut from the same cloth as most of their other projects.

Maybe so, but I can't imagine him ever copping to it.

Anyone else notice the aliases they boys used in this episode? Nicks and McVie. I wouldn't have pegged either one of them as a Fleetwood Mac fan.

I don't think it's Soulless Sam Redux. I think he's well and truly sick of Dean's shit at this point. He doesn't feel any need to put up with Dean's constant barrage of snark, so he's dishing out some of his own. After spending a lifetime putting up with Dean and with having very little control over the course of his…

I think "No Quarter" would be a good one for the series finale.

I hear ya. I'll give it a year, but I'm not holding out a lot of hope unless they've got another Jensen Ackles up their sleeves and/or Ben Edlund returns to the Supernatural fold.

But I think Supernatural is, at heart, a MotW show. Not that they didn't use the Apocalypse to great effect, too, but the writers would have done better to go back to the MotW format after S5. I had hoped that meeting Henry Winchester and discovering the Men of Letters bunker was going to be a shift back to MotW…

Disagree. I had no complaints with this episode, given that the first half of the season felt almost like mediocre fan fiction. I just don't see the problems that this review sees. I'm glad Buddy Boyle is out of the picture and the angels are back to being coldly menacing instead of borderline campy. I'm glad to see…

Yep, it's filmed in southeast Louisiana. A lot of stuff is now, thanks to film industry tax credits and being a right-to-work state. I'm just surprised it's actually set there, too, but maybe that's intentional if they're doing a race relations allegory (everyone knows there are no bigots north of the Mason-Dixon line…

There are lots of things I loved as a kid that lost their magic when I revisited them as an adult. Tom Baker is not one of those things.

I only liked the second half of S1 and S2. The problem with TVD is that the show revolved around Elena, and she's the least in interesting character in the series.

I may be in the minority for liking the UK version all the way through, even with the complete cast turnover, but I'm with you on the American version. The actors are all fine, but the don't seem to have much group chemistry. Plus the stench of poutine hangs so heavily over the production that I cannot suspend my…

I gave up on Fringe, too, but in the final season. The biggest turn-off for me was the constant universe re-booting that left us with entirely different characters from the ones with started with, not to mention its distinct feel of a show painting itself into a corner. Also, I never much liked the Observers and had…

I could see it as a miniseries, but as an ongoing series it would have to be extremely well-executed to keep the premise from eventually wearing thin. I enjoyed the book, or most of it anyway, but I find Neil Gaiman to be overrated. None of his TV writing has ever wowed me, and I have to be honest — being married to…

This may be a heavy-handed reading, but I get the feeling that there's a touch of foreshadowing in Maritza's despondency over her brother, who's gone off the rails, wrecked her life, and needs to be put down.
