That's exactly the vibe I get from her, and it was most pronounced when she popped into frame outside the window of the car when Gordon McClintock was being brought into town for the first time in episode 8. A nice touch, that.

Oh, please let it be Kenya.

My favorite part about the Irathients is their ridiculous fashion sense. At first, I just thought Sukar was eclectic pairing that green, furry thing he wore in the early episodes with what looked like prototypical steampunk garb. But as the season has gone on and we've seen more Irathients, it's become clear that they…

Does anyone here use Syfy's tablet app? They run this whole sync thing where they feed behind-the-scenes crap out during the show. It's hit and miss, and I usually look at it after the fact because I think staring at a tablet while you're watching TV is lame, but there's been some decent stuff in there. For example,…

I like the cut of your jib.

I was stunned - STUNNED - that there were scenes in MoS shot outdoors. I didn't think Zack Snyder knew how to do that, any more.

"These are the absolute least interesting things that Superman can do."
This was absolutely my problem with Man of Steel because, to me, the least interesting thing Superman can do is punch people/things…and that's the solution to every conflict in the movie. Even when he (SPOILERS, I GUESS) saved Lois from the falling…

Is punching a fundamental part of the Superman character? In that case, Man of Steel totally nailed it, because that's about all he did. I feel like its full title should have been Man of Steel: THE PUNCHENING.

That Kevin Smith statement is about the wrongest thing I've ever heard. I'd say no one has ever made a worse anything than X-Men: The Last Stand…but I've seen Aquanoids, so I really can't. The fact that I want to, however, really says something.

I wish I could like this comment a thousand times.

Just finished China Mieville's Kraken, and enjoyed it despite the fact that it's frustratingly slow reaching any sort of climax. I'm now about 2/3 of the way through A Vist from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan, which I'd meant to read for years and have just now finally gotten around to. It's less music-centric than I…

Swordfight!

"Teenage Dirtbag" is kind of crappy, but some of the band's latter-day stuff isn't so bad. "BMX Bandits" and "London Sun" are both decent powerpop jamz0rz.

"I like Nolan better as shrewd and cynical and patient to let things play out."

Some thoughts…

Exactly! Drumline meets 28 Days Later.

Given the whole "zombie swarm" thing they have going on in the trailers, I hope that, in the sequel, the zombies learn how to form more complex shapes - a fist, a hammer, perhaps a towering uber-zombie made up of thousands of other zombies, a la the Agent Smith of the Enter the Matrix video game.

The trailers and commercials for this looked so very, very bad that I had more or less given up hope. But this is the second positive review I've read of the pilot today. I just don't know what to feel. INTERNET, TELL ME WHAT TO FEEL.

Oh, dear god, can we please just leave The Stand alone? The last effort was so very not good. Pretty much everything after the "Don't Fear the Reaper" montage that opened the thing was a waste of time, money, and the effort of some decent-to-good acting talent.

Maggots? Maggots. Maggots, maggots, maggots. Maggots.
