SPOILERS (for the sake of others, not Hector)

The show is pretty phenomenal at building complex characters with very little exposition.  It has an uncanny talent of giving the viewer an idea of someone or something without ever coming close to saying it directly.  It's like a masterclass on the power of suggestion: the dialogue, the visuals, the editing,  the…

Huh, Schneider for the 9th overall.

Yeah, me too.  It's fine with Firefox, but often single pages or Flash will freeze in Chrome.

The Total Recall commentary is amazing.  It's equal parts Verhoeven insight and Schwarzenegger rambling literally about things on-screen.

Crash Course is like a bite-sized version of Hardcore History.  They're fun, engaging, and well-told, and great gateways to learning more about a subject for anyone interested in history.

Even Sepinwall doesn't like Jamm.

The real twist is that he's not actually that friendly.

Think they're supposed to be North African-ish.  I believe the Martells are Rhoynar.

She kind of just did, in Top of the Lake.

Unless I'm off-base here, I think you're misconstruing what's happening to Will in his "moments."  I think Will's essentially "losing" large parts of his waking life, i.e. doing things and then having absolutely no recollection of it.  When he wakes up in Washington the idea isn't that he's been asleep for a long…

I can imagine a different timeline where it never clicked for me, either.  I feel like you have to view the show through a very specific lens for it to totally work.

Well, why stop there?  What about the Holodomor?  Russian civilians?  Slavs?  Polish and German victims of the Soviet Union?  In fact, Western views on World War II are incredibly Eurocentric to begin with.  What about the 20-30 million dead Chinese, or the millions of others killed by Japanese aggression?

I'd kind of love to see a history series that does a retrospective on a number of historical genocides.  The way we (and particularly Westerners) subtly and not-so-subtly glorify many of them is utterly bizarre, and would make for ripe subject material.

I'm not quite sure why it is always attributed to him.  Maybe because a lot of people still have a sort of grudging respect for him.

The Wire.  The Sopranos had a great pilot, but afterwards had some troubles establishing the show's tone and direction.  And while The Wire might not've had a standout hour like "College", but it also didn't have anything as bad as "Isabelle."

It's a great song.  Although the version linked here has been pitch-shifted down.

Since when is Brent more of a bully than Michael Scott?  Yeah, Brent plays along with Finch, but he's never deliberately cruel to anyone outside of that.  Michael on the other hand could be a real dick about things.  And not just to Toby.

I'd put at least The Office UK and Party Down above them, but after that it gets tougher.  They're certainly very rich with excellent characterization, something I feel that Parks and Rec or Community never approached, even if the latter were funnier in their "peak."

It should be noted that Vegas had more overall viewers, although less in the demo (2.5), and still went on to be cancelled.
