Maybe good's too narrow a term, decent may be a little more generic,someone who's not into killing people for sport and / or arousal, and has a basic understanding of right / wrong.  Daenerys is fine, slavery is generally bad; Stannis is kind of a blank of a character, so I imagine him as king could work out okay. …

Yea…I'm kinda calling bullshit on him.  It's (and I mean the current series, I have no clue about the books) becoming predictable in the exact opposite way that a normal series goes: likable characters are killed off, only the despicable people survive, any chance of a happy ending is snuffed out.  The only way I'd be…

It was better when Pete told that story to Macgyver!!  Man, that really hit me.

Cooking with Cranston, oh holy cow yes.  How many episodes revolved around a nebula, or some particle, or some kind of mysterious energy beam, all solved with the worst of Star Trek gibberish.

Let's see…if I had to compare the Office to a ball player…it'd be more like an ace starting pitcher who is lights out for a few seasons (1-3 in this case), then a steady decline as we watch him get schlepped around the bullpen, and maybe to a few other teams as well.  Oh sure, he'll have flashes of brilliance to…

Well now the show's done can we do our full autopsy? I'd mark the inflection point you observe is the Jim / Pam wedding; I mean seriously, who's wedding exclusively features people from their job?

Nothing like the show portrayed. I had a few friends in the field, basically it's more like an ad agency than anything else (ie, not hanging out with athletes but meeting w/ Dunkin Donuts).

Sure, whatever. You want a good encapsulation of how this show became a mess over the past few years look at this episode: big bold ideas (how their lives would change after the documentary was viewed) mostly wasted, discarded and leaving the characters unchanged in any way (see: Robert California, Florida, Jim's…

Huzzah!  This removes the possibility of Ted and Mom having zero chemistry with each other, and that in retrospect any of the past myriad of girlfriends would have been a better relationship!

I know this is often said, but do we really live in a world where the #1 show is NCIS?  I remember when being #1 meant something, is our culture so segmented now that it is a meaningless title?

So…pretty telling that the Jim / Pam clip show was mostly from Season 2.  The emotional core of this show's been about 3-4 seasons, with that last season spanned over an additional 5.  Really, you could get out of this series at the end of Season 2 and have a reasonable emotional conclusion (a la the UK Office before…

True story: I had a red eye flight into London, and had a few hours to kill in the city.  It was some bizarre summer day where the temp was in the 80s, and the only cool place I could find was Westminster Abbey, and the only place I could sit was on Chaucer's grave / crypt.  Sat there for a half hour or so, trying to…

Oh, that's fine I suppose.  The book lays out a basic history of the hotel, which I suppose could be enough for a feature length film.  Hell, the previous caretaker's story would basically be the same movie again.

I'm a Jets / Mets fan, I'm a fan of things just so I can go boo them.

Garfunkel and Oats, I would so go to there concert just to boo them.

That's ridiculous.  People don't do that kind of thing with fish.

Oh….so that is why gays shouldn't serve in the military.

How many atmospheres of pressure can it take?

How many atmospheres of pressure can it take?

I hope they go into space in this one.
