Twilight Zone 2.0: with 50% less helicopter related decapitations guaranteed!

If they had integrated it into the plot in some fashion, it might've worked better.  But as a self contained story opener, it was deadly dull, and furthered Kevin's de-evolution.  Remember when Kevin was a skilled basketball player, drummer and WSOP champ?  What happened to that?

I thought the tattoo scene and the payoff was one of the more touching and sincere moments in the series.  Sadly it was completely negated by that FUCKING AWFUL cold open, which was easily one of the worst in the series, and had me really debating turning the channel to something, anything else…unless they've already

Either that or the show should make more of it and integrating it into the story.  I keep thinking about the opening quote from the pilot, about "before seeking revenge, dig two graves."  I don't know if that's just the show being cheeky, or a legit preface to the story as it plays out, but if this series is meant to

Assuming you don't subscribe to the Calvinist doctrine of free will, you are free to choose to watch it or not.  If you are a Calvinist subscriber, your ultimate salvation or condemnation to hellfire is already determined, so you can't make thing's WORSE by watching it.

The date on the court TV program says 1995.  That's 16 years right there.  Figure how long it took to bring him to trial, plus further back to the happy days, and 18 years is about right, which is damn old for a Golden Retriever.  Also I like how in this show's universe, they had high def cameras in 1995.  That is

What does everyone make of Emily?  She's too damn icy for me.  I don't know if it's the limitations of the actress' ability, or her characterization of the role, but it feels wrong.  Most of the time she's cold, cold, cold, and when there are moments when she reveals human emotion, they feel calculated to me.  I'm

For me, this show is skirting a fine line.  I thought the revenge of the week was a good one, but ill-executed.  The entire arc: investing in the company, the revelation said company wasn't going to get the contract, the stock fall, the loses, the end of the company, all took place in about five minutes of screen time

Speaking as a working professional, anyone stupid enough to take an unpaid internship (which is one rung above slavery, and one below indentured servitude) is an idiot, an asshole and a whore giving it away for free, all rolled up into a package with a sign that says "I just fell off the turnip truck."

Yeah, I've met plenty of other Aspies and we're not like him, at least, not so blatant.  They took the behavioral characteristics of Asperger's and ramped it up to 11, to where yes, it would be more accurate to regard him as a high functioning autistic.

And over on Fox, Set MacFarlane has been hired as showrunner for The Simpsons.

And given this is a cruel, godless world where children starve and Michael Bay keeps making movies, I'd imagine Dane Cook's new show will be premiering in the subsequently cancelled Community, as a lead in for Whitney, which has replaced Parks and Rec, all going into the latest season of The Office, which finds every

Oh man, I can totally see that happening.  And you know what, it's pretty plausible, because Crosby is that big of a dipshit.

Also, when did Amber suddenly turn into a WWII era aircraft assembly-line worker? 

I think the show is starting to really overplay the whole Asperger's thing.  They treat it like a curse or a death sentence, and fret over having another kid with Asperger's?  BFD.  It's NOT a life ending, life ruining thing.  How do I know?  I have Asperger's.  Sure there are a lot of difficulties, but they can be

I do enjoy this show, but I'm seriously getting annoyed by all the intrusive music.  It's like a whole CD soundtrack crammed into 40 minutes.  And it's mixed badly.  It always comes in blaring and drowns out everything else, so all you can do is pay attention to the music.  For example, after the party ends, and

I guess they got fed up with him, and decided to put him in that crooked home they featured on 60 minutes…

But you gotta admit, if it were a Twilight Zone episode, it'd be a pretty bitchin twist…all the set up, only for the story's protagonists to wind up dead in the vacuum of space floating amongst thousands of other dead people…

Reminds me of that bit from the Simpsons, during comic con when Bart meets the Lost in Space Cast "How about we go to a more secluded part of the convention center?"
"Danger, Danger! Bart Simpson!"

Man that line REEKS of a reshoot cover-my-ass.  How long before they widen that loophole to allow people to cross back and forth.  Just give it time…
