Makes you wonder how many television shows and novels are being started in rubber rooms…

I agree that Titus has gotten the short end of the stick till now, but I like that they're focusing more on Kimmy and really letting us get to know her, so that they can wring maximum emotions out of Titus later. Titus is (sort of) this show's Ron to Kimmy's Leslie, and if Parks & Rec had built out Ron's character and…

This episode was everything I want this show to be. It's now a gleeful tragedy and I can't wait to watch it all go to hell and everyone being torn apart by their good intentions. Plus, removing the high-school-scenes with homeschooling and the Emma-dates will do wonders for the show, keeping everything more intimate…

I finished Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, which I wrote about here. I'm also done with Insomnia, which means I only have the last Dark Tower-novel left and then that series is over… Never read it before and haven't started it yet, but I expect to finish it in March. [sniff] It's been a long quest and…

Oh man, the last book in A Series of Unfortunate Events is brilliant. Finished the series late January, and… Well, I don't want to spoil it for you. But it's so, so good.

Let's all be honest, this is going to be the next season of American Horror Story isn't it?

I really, really love this episode. Beforehand, I was a little unsure of what story this would be, and what it was about - it felt like it lost its theme and its drive for some episodes - but this finale snapped it all into place.

I definitely thought this was one of the weakest episodes. After the previous two great outings, this one dived head first into the comedy and it came off too broad and underdeveloped.

Exactly. It pretty much has to go wrong.

The next few episodes are going to be tough to sit through. This reminds me of a slow-paced journey into hell. I don't think Brody is going to survive, I don't think the plan will succeed and I think that the finale is going to blow up this whole status quo somehow.

No, but I would've liked some kind of warning, like "Hey, you might want to wait for the third book before you start reading these. Just a heads' up." Instead it was months and months of "You've gotta read these books. You've gotta read these books."

Yes. Yes, yes yes yes. So much yes.

I have to admit, I think the show is on pretty much the same level as last year. Yes, the Abby-parts of this episode were trite and a little "been there, done that", but I just LOVE the new probation worker, and his crush on Finn was classic cringe-inducing Misfits-hilarity. Throw in some "is he/isn't he…

I'll just sit here in my corner, rocking and mumbling "Bonnie Tyler needs to die" as I've been doing since season three. These two characters are dumb, pointless and only there to act as "magic get out of jail free-card" or "pissing everyone off and putting wrenches in everyone's plans"-guy".

That final scene has to be some of the most awkward things this show has ever done. I cringed for a full minute after they yelled "SURPRISE".

THEORY TIME: Brody will get mixed up with some terrorist-y characters in Venezuela, help Carrie and the CIA in catching them, be sent back to US to be with his family, marry Carrie and live happily ever after!

I'm a little late to the party, but I hate Laura's plotline and character. She seems like a bratty teen, because we don't know her well enough, and the mental illness-thing is so vague that I do not care even in the slightest. The show just haven't done the groundwork for this plotline, and it just feels so unearned -…

In the original, he kidnaps someone (like the woman in the desert) and says he'll stop if one of Denmark's banks or companies pay him a sum of money. The Annabeth Gish-character's husband was the CEO of one of these companies. Basically, she's forced to make a choice between money or letting someone die.

I agree that the remake feels more hollow, and that the original was far more suspenseful, but I think the reason it feels so hollow is somewhat clever - it's because the detectives don't know what they're looking for, aside from a killer. The last few episodes, with the reveal of the killer and his motivations, have…

The Danish/Swedish version will feature another serial killer/demented mastermind. One episode has aired and it was pretty good, but I prefer the remake. It's been much more subtle in its storytelling. The original was one thing - political motivated murders - until it become another thing (SPOILERS!) - a revenge…
