It seemed like a lot of this documentary pretty rapidly shifted between fascinating and extremely boring. The Nevin Shapiro stuff was excellent, and the kind of thing I could have watched for twice as long without losing interest. It was great in how it tied what was happening at Miami to the wider world in a way the

"and it’s not clear if this is PTSD or some deeper symptom of the Red Lotus venom."

She has it. She went into the Avatar State in the season opener when she was trying to get rid of the vines.

The ending didn't seem like much of a cliffhanger if Korra just used the Avatar State to escape, but this show seems really hesitant for her to use it. I mean, I sort of understand why - it's like a "get out of jail free" card for any situation and turns her into the Superman of the bending world - but apart from last

Probably because the title of this episode is "Why We Fight". Not that the show really suggested it was all about the Holocaust, but it wouldn't be the first time a major publication chose to be lazy.

I'm very split regarding Harry. On one hand, he's the best visionary at the company, and has almost singlehandedly propelled them ahead as far as technology goes (TV, computers). On the other hand, he's a massive douche.

I'm surprised Bert didn't sing "Sound of Silence" instead.

So…that was pretty stupid on Molly's part, to just abandon her fellow cop without so much as a word and run off into a blizzard where you can't see more than 3 feet in front of you.

Maybe I'm alone on this one but I don't want to spend my Sunday nights watching babies suffocate to death. If they had killed her offscreen, fine. But if Judith had died this episode I would have changed the channel.

The anthology thing doesn't quite work for me. Splitting a group into different components and following their stories really only works if you have different issues and conflicts facing each group. In Game of Thrones this past season, you had Robb Stark waging a war, Daenerys taking over a continent with dragons,

I'm not in love with the Ann-Chris isolated storylines, but I do love that they brought back Ted from the Patton Oswalt episode. His line reading of "Just pick a thing" was hilarious.

I used damning in the non-literal sense. But Unalaq did talk about souls, and since humans aren't spirits, doesn't this still imply he has power over people's souls? Whether it be trapping them or damaging them, that's still a really huge amount of power to control.

Haven't seen anyone else bring this up, but what's up with Unalaq suddenly having the power to eternally damn someone's soul? Are souls even an established thing in the Avatar Universe in this sense?

One thing that confused me was why did the ceiling only just then give way? It wasn't like the zombies hadn't walked over those exact spots up there before. Or was that a load-bearing shelf of booze?

My moment is one I'm sure a lot of people have, but watching it as it aired, the end of One Minute in the 3rd season was the tensest I've ever felt. My heart was in my throat for that entire sequence. I'm not sure a show has ever built up tension like that before, at least in my eyes.

Arrested Development was always a show that relied on stuff in previous episodes for humor, to build off of and make callback jokes. The first episodes suffered because they were trying to make that setup, which is obviously a lot better than the alternative of re-using the same jokes from the original 3 seasons.

Why do you even feel the need to hint at things? To prove you've read the book? Congrats. Your literary prowess impresses all.

…Now I'm kind of wishing Casey Wilson was the mother.

Solid episode. Whoever chooses the music on this show deserves a raise, "Simple Song" was absolutely perfect at the end.

I thought it was an OK episode, although the Planned Parenthood joke made me extremely uncomfortable.
