His N' Hers by Pulp has Razzmatazz as its unlisted, 12th track on its original US CD release, and it's amazing. Now, it had already been released a a stand-alone single in the UK in 1993, so dedicated US fans (did Pulp have any dedicated US fans pre-Common People?) with access to a good record store that stocked…

Well, fine, she's not amazing. All I'm saying is that everyone on Brawn seemed to decide that they didn't like and/or need Alecia around from the moment they saw her. And while she's generally lived up to their appraisal, it's impossible to tell whether she's actually as useless as she comes off, or whether she's been…

It seemed like they disliked Alecia almost immediately, because she isn't "brawny" in the classic sense. And while she hasn't proved herself to be a huge asset in challenges (not that any of them have, really), she did manage to eventually light a fire at camp when everybody else had basically, what, just given up?…

Debbie might be playing well strategically , but it's only a matter of time before her idiosyncrasies and general oddness gets her the wrong kind of attention. Pretty much the second they mix up the tribes, probably.
Cydney does seem like she's playing a good all-around game. I don't have anything negative to say…

The theme of this season so far seems to be total, crippling lack of self-awareness. There's Alecia who, as Scott points out, seems to view every time she isn't voted out as a complete reset of where she stands in the game. But the real fun is with the Brains, most of whom seem to have absolutely no idea of how…

Yeah, the season 2 finale is much, much harder to deal with. Sure, Mason cutting his own face off is gross, but it's much more difficult to watch Hannibal gut Will in front of Abigail, then force WIll to watch him slash Abigail's throat. I mean… I have rewatched it, and it was incredible, but still, tough going.

I know a lot of people really hate the episode, but "That's My Dog" was just brutally incredible. Just the way it started off like any other episode of Six Feet Under, and then I gradually realized that we weren't cutting to any of the other characters. Plus it felt very real and dangerous, the sort of thing that…

They could have done it like the gooseformation:

I mean, it's redundant to keep complaining about the lack of world building, but yeah, there's so little attention paid to what, if anything, is going on beyond the scope of our main characters that it seems like the whole school is there to magically educate 6 people.

For some reason, my big memory of this song was that it was played on a short-lived sitcom called Live-In, about a family that gets a young, nubile, foriegn au pair, or the shenanigans that ensued, that starred Chris Young of PCU fame. There was some sexy nonsense where the au pair busted in on Young while he was…

Yeah, I mean, she gets to be one of the only non-mopey characters on the show, blithely unconcerned with the consequences of her actions, and just nasty. It's kind of too bad they're setting her up to be destroyed.

The geese transformation didn't bother me, because they did a decent job of telegraphing what was going on through having the actors contort their bodies and, you know, pick goose feathers from their skin.

Because Eliot and Jargo are both really, really self-absorbed.

Yeah, she's empirically hot, but she doesn't radiate anything that could really approximate charisma. I'd have cast Kacey Rohl, who plays Marina, as Alice, but that's just because post-Hannibal I would cast Kacey Rohl as pretty much any character.

Well, they're taking their cue from AMC, where Breaking Bad and Mad Men were allowed to toss one in every now and again, usually for effect. Sure, you could make the case that it would be peppered into the characters' everyday speech, especially with a bunch of perpetually glum, pissed-off grad students making up the…

I was in your camp after the pilot. It was really, really poor. Things have gotten better. Not nearly as good as the books are, but halfway decent. I've kind of had to start looking at the series as less of an adaptation and more of a re-imagining on several levels, which is kind of a deep level of…

I'm very gay, so I'm not predisposed to be ogling the actresses, but she is stacked. At least, I think so. Stacked is the correct term, right? Help me out, straight people.

Yeah, I similarly don't understand the approach to profanity on the show. I can't tell if it's supposed to come off as "edgy" but all it does is call attention to how much better this show would be if it was on a premium cable network with an appropriately-sized budget.

I feel like Todd's going to get plenty of love in Ibiza. I'm not worried about Todd.

I had the same thought. I felt like Mayakovsky could have offered her a safehouse, of sorts, to chill semi-outside the Brakebills jurisdiction, somewhere Marina wouldn't be able to find her.
