Banshee - "The Truth About Unicorns" - It was a complete thematic and directorial departure for the show and ended up kind of reshaping how the show was presented for the rest of the season.

Damn near perfect.  I loved that they called back the first kill of the series (Walt strangling Krazy 8 from behind).  I kind of thought the last act would come earlier, with all of the make-good stuff coming afterward, but this actually worked better.  And one of Walt's crazy schemes not only working again, but…

Whoops, I'm not sure if it was the swearing or linking that got my last comment pulled but I'll try again with neither.

Yeah, the RPG twins only make sense on this show.  On a series with any sense of reality they're way over-the-top.  But on Luther it's tonally appropriate.

The only thing I can conclude about Luther is that the cast is way better than the show.  Everything between Elba and O'Hara was awesome.  Even if the whole Stark storyline didn't really come together in the end, their scenes were just electric.

Funny enough, my wife and I just finished the episode and we were in agreement that Aaron and Paul were the best two men and that Mackenzie, Jasmine, and Amy were the top women. 

Sarah's utter incompetence in the fights sequence was fantastic.  Trying (and failing) to snap her neck.  Getting her ass kicked until the woman breaks her own ankle.  I'm assuming that was supposed to be intentionally hilarious because I was laughing my ass off.

Ding, Ding, Ding!  Perhaps Reilly would be better served spending less time convincing critics to talk about Hulu/VOD/Live+7 and more time convincing advertisers to pay for Hulu/VOD/Live+7.

It depends on what you think ratings are for.  If you think ratings are for measuring a show's popularity, then probably not.  If you think they're for measuring the number of people watching the commercials during a given episode, then they probably are.

Several years ago the Emmy committee modified their rules to make eligible shows transmitted via "interactive cable and broadband."  Decisions are also made on a case-by-case basis, so I'm sure Netflix got approval before they ever even released the shows.

Overall, I thought it was okay, but the documentary made me laugh out loud near the end, as all of these great journalists (who were of every race, shade, and creed) are talking about the legacy of the locker room pioneers and talking about the "next generation" of women reporters.  They flashed the pictures of five…

I literally yelled "Oh!" in surprise when I saw the announcement.  I just didn't expect it at all.  So happy now.

I think it all came down to the decision to just air 7 episodes in the spring.  With Happy Endings, they aired double-episodes a few weeks in order to get through all 13 first-season episodes but they didn't do the same with Don't Trust the B because they had Revenge in the 10:00 slot.  They probably should have just…

It's also a matter of quantity.  50+ people watch more television in general, so why bother spending $150,000 on an ad during NCIS for a product targeted at 50+ viewers when you can run the same ad for $20,000 during Judge Judy at 3:30 in the afternoon?  Younger people watch less television (and less live television…

It's probably a rights issue.  ABC holds the rights until the end of the season, then Fox gets them back.  So after June 3rd, they'll probably turn up on Amazon or Netflix or maybe even back on Hulu Plus, depending on who Fox decides to sell it to (and who will buy it).
