I’ll watch Clare Danes in anything, so I went into this blind, and it charmed the pants off me. Even the early scenes with Sienna Miller have a coy spark that feel like Trisan will win her over. This was my first Matthew Vaughn movie (I even forgot he made this until just now), so he instantly got on my good graces…

I think it’s too easy to look back at Sports Night through the lens of what Sorkin has done since. Even then, the show took a lot of “people-don’t-talk-like-that” criticism, but it was smart show about smart people who do their jobs well. When you don’t have to have the dumb characters, it can elevate the level of…

I once checked out a library book that didn’t have cut pages. I didn’t understand what was going on & didn’t want to damage a library book. I tried to unfold the pages to read what I could but still couldn’t get to all of the pages. When I asked the staff, they let me know with a chuckle that I could go ahead and cut…

Right! In an article somewhat about the downfall of the media, it makes sense to include examples. The errors aren’t sloppy journalism (not truly, there are always errors), but they are painful evidence of the disappearance of editing as a profession. I was on track to be a professional copyeditor after college, saw…

I’ve always loved this one:

My favorite line on Sports Night:

Limited number of writers + lots of pages to fill = little checking, editing or correcting.

I’m really glad that the majority of the cast went on to have pretty good-to-great careers.  I love this freaking show, despite the laugh track.  It exists right on the cusp of when television was really going to hit the Golden Age and glimmers of that are shining through all over the place.  If it would have started…

I came here to make the Gatsby reference.  Well done.

I used to look at people’s cd’s to see if they had Bon Jovi albums.  So I know how Fitzgerald felt.

I actually do want to see the library, but only because that’s the one room you never see in other tours of rich people’s houses.

These two together remind me of all those obnoxious college relationships where both parties withdraw from their respective friend circles and spend every waking moment with each other because of some “deep connection” until they split up over winter break.

I was actually fascinated by it. Love it when they linger on these kind of stuff.

I guess this one didn't draw enough interest to warrant episodic reviewing. Shame… I really like the pace and feel of this show

A "normal" crime drama would have avoided these scenes for precisely that reason - they would have seemed out of place. The Fall is not a normal crime drama, nor does it want to be. It's a show about these people and their lives in Belfast, and I like the fact the it doesn't ignore everything besides the…

Seriously- it's an exploration of trauma. This season was incredible for that. For a hot second it actually made me feel sorry for the killer

Couldn't disagree more. Loved the final series.

This review and all the comments have failed to mention my favorite part: Gibson talking to Rose's husband and trying to help him get over his macho insecurities and fears so he can help his wife recover. I can handle 20 minutes of real-time medical drama as long as I get a few minutes of Bad-Ass Feminist Detective. I…

I liked the contrast of dedicated professionals working so hard to save a man who might've killed any one of them if given the chance. The nature of the patient gave it a certain poignancy.

I was completely enthralled by the minutiae of the emergency room scene. It was just so… refreshing to see people going about their business trying to bring a patient back from the brink of death without the usual clichés of American medical dramas. No music to remind us of how dramatic what we're watching is, no…
