Kings is second on my list of network TV shows cancelled too soon, only after Firefly.

Would have loved that because it would have at least indicated that the writers actually knew, had some—any!—awareness, of how they're handling her character.

Thanks for responding. The descriptions sounded similar, and I've heard a lot of praise for both, but I wasn't sure. Can I ask what your reservations are, though?

Will comment on the interview in a second, but I was just checking something out and was curious: how similar is Hannibal to Luther?

@avclub-71289f361df2d092ca1b768e85a33325:disqus Basically, people were upset with Sookie's romantic decision and Eric's ultimate fate…Much more a reflection of the fans' ridiculousness than the author's (admittedly poor) storytelling choices…

Hair in the fucking pillow! There were was some creepy shit all throughout, but as far as horror goes, that scene is just—goddamn. Trying not to shudder.

Have described my affection for Hannibal and Enlightened elsewhere, but  I really need to call some attention to the scene in Spartacus where he [SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS] dies… Those flashbacks to his wife, the look of disappointment on his face… God, I couldn't stop crying. That was more devastating to me than…

Loved everything about All I Ever Wanted. The whole long, baseball field conversation between Amy and Levi was perfect, but I'm glad someone else mentioned that mini panic attack because that's when I almost lost it.

This new gif is awesome, btw. Thanks for posting.

I know asking this question kind of misses the point of this feature, but I'm curious what people think anyway… Would the show work if it were about a man? As Caroline points out, part of what makes the show so compelling is how it presents the clones with threats that are constantly rising in number and in severity.…

Unpopular opinion: X-Men: Evolution was the superior cartoon.

Also: Nikita. The stunts have been much less impressive in recent seasons, but I'd put the work done in season one up against anything—GoT, Spartacus, Strike Back (all of which I love). Gun fights, chase scenes, and Maggie Q crawling on guys every week…And, as the article notes, it's made much more impressive by the…

My favorites have to be the opening shots of "Consider Helen," with the camera panning through the house in the early morning, as the sun rises and Helen and Amy wake up. Gorgeous stuff.

I hadn't really considered any of what you said in that first paragraph, but in retrospect, I do see how the conflict in that episode between Alex and Nikita seemed manufactured. I think it was handled well at the end, though, with Ryan coming in and talking about how successful the mission was even though they were…

NIKITA THREAD: To the two other people who watch the show, what'd you think of the last episode? Though I saw it as a significant improvement over the last two or three, I was hoping Alex and Birkhoff's discovery would have led to a multi-ep arc, possibly to the finale. And it still can, I guess, but they seemed to…

Was thinking about checking this show out, but that grade makes me a bit apprehensive. Would it be worth it to catch up? I'm just asking because a ton of my other favorite shows have ended or are ending this year.

THANK YOU FOR THIS, AVC!

I think B is a fair grade. This episode felt A LOT like last season's penultimate episode (and the penultimate episode of Korra's first season too, actually) in that there was LOTS and LOTS of exposition and then a big battle that just set everything up for the finale. I liked parts of it (especially how Artemis,…

Depending on where you go, you can see several even without snorkeling. Or I have, anyway. Never had the same transcendent experience Amy did, but they're great creatures, and I love them as a motif for the show.

I live in Hawaii, so if part of the renewal campaign involves capturing a green sea turtle and sending it to the HBO offices, I'm all over it, y'all.
