Eh, I think my criticism applies to the characterization, too.  "MORE!" seems to be the underlying goal for the season, which means MORE of Carrie crying, bucking the rules, pissing everyone off.  MORE of Brody's emotions, which means that sometimes it feels like he's bouncing around like a ping pong ball,…

I don't think people understand just how impossible (and more to the point, utterly pointless) an invasion of North America by a foreign power would be.

Season 2 of Homeland is simply trying too hard.  In a bad way, I mean.  Shame.

As strange as that CSI:NY episode where the first two-thirds featured no dialogue, and was scored solely by Green Day?

/r/Community, which is a lot bigger than here, is one big circlejerk however.

Anthony Hopkins looks like a poorly CGIed monster in these Hitchcock ads.

I'd be sad about Last Resort if a reasonable amount of its potential had been lived up to.

I'm optimistic about the future of both Childrens Hospital and Parks after their respective strong outings last night.  Both have gone through periods of malaise recently, and it was nice to see them both reaffirm that they coud knock off strong episodes.

Sometimes it's not the beliefs per se, but just how annoyingly outspoken they can be.  I love the majority of Ricky Gervais' output, The Office might be my favourite bit of pop culture ever, and I'm an atheist myself, but… dude.  Shut the fuck up.

One doesn't really realize how good The Wire is until you start season 2.

Hmm, it would be nice to see a good Splinter Cell game.  The first three games are solidly written, entertaining stuff, and are certainly a lot more coherent and effective than your average spy film. 

I think the idea is that those lights aren't actually shining: they're just so that the player can see where he is.

Putting a Montréal team in the same division as Boston and Toronto would pay for itself so quickly.

In fairness, he included 42 shows on that list.  I bet The Big Bang Theory might make my top 42 shows that aired on US TV in 2012.

Can anyone guess what the word of the year is?

He looks like Bobrovsky's hard-ass police sergeant.

OMG GAME OF THRONES SPOILERS DON'T LOOK HERE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED KIND OF
