I had never watched this show when it was on originally. Now I am halfway through season two, and enjoying it despite its darkness. This series could have been titled "Secrets and Lies." It's bittersweet to see how remarkable James Gandolfini is as the emotionally crippled (not my words—Melfi's) and combustible

You went way to sciency for my brain, but I grok what you are saying. I never meant to imply that Caitlin was slow—she and Cisco are two of my favorite science nerds ever. So has she evolved into an inhuman status for the next season—I didn't see that actually happen, but it seemed inferred with her marriage. Will she

Thank you, Louie, for letting Pamela Aldon do something that doesn't make me want to scream at you for allowing her to do it to you. Now the Pamela of this episode, I could watch and enjoy. Her previous two episodes, I felt like she was selfish, not empathetic, and mean by habit, not intentionally. Louis is so kind,

If you live in Palm Springs, we should watch this together next year. I totally agree with you.

I think it was the disintegration of any chance for a family, the loneliness he felt in fighting for his perceived level of justice, and his own guilt of feeling that his behaviors of 20 years before led to this eventual outcome that caused him to give up…as Barb said, to "let go." And he did in the only manner that a

This show was like nothing I have ever seen on network tv. While I groused about its pain and angst, never letting the audience to feel any release from the intimate horror experienced by and of the characters, of the bullheaded wrongness of some of the characters' hatred, intolerance and bigotry, it was good tv, and

JtV has been so awesome, I have forgiven CW for cancelling The Tomorrow People. But I do love Flash and Arrow, too.

If Jaime Camil doesn't win the Critic's Choice Award, I will be truly bummed out. He and the narrator provide so much comedy to the show, which balances out the sweet earnestness of the Villanueva women and Michael.

Life is hard.

Norman and Norma Bates' feelings are hurt. And you don't want to make them unhappy.

First, I am so glad that Oliver Sava is a true fan of the show. His passion almost equals Jane's 6 page paper on why she shouldn't have received a B+ on her 4 page paper. Not often, but sometimes, I get the feel that reviewers don't really like the shows that they are tasked to critique, which seems silly to me. I

“Fewer”—I loved Stannis correcting grammar during the Night’s Watch meeting, both because I like grammar and because it’s a small little detail the show didn’t need to include but did anyway to humanize him.
—My know-it-all good friend recently correctly me when I used less instead of fewer. This was hilarious to me,

The only seven season series that jumped the shark in the pilot—Nurse Jackie should be in the Hall of Fame, just for that reason.

It is.

This show just makes me sad. The creator is obviously a very depressed individual, and like many depressive types, he likes to project his pain onto those in his orbit. This is probably the last episode that I will watch. What a waste of talent—I think Coogan, Hahn and Whitford will be on Effexor-x by the end of the

This was an "A" level episode. You can complain about the B plot, but it was filled with laughs and great interactions among the 99ers. I can't remember laughing as often as I did with this episode. Peralta, Holt and Boyle played off one another in an hysterically epic fashion. I would submit this episode for a SAG

I just finished a binge of Rescue Me. Highly recommended. Still waiting to see The Sopranos and The Wire, which I never watched (didn't have HBO at the time).

The mailing label stated that it was sent by somebody named Mme. Tussauds.

Book her for "The Californians."

yeah, but make him take off his shirt prior to that.
