I haven't watched the series straight through since it ended, but I've found myself watching the Pilot a couple times over the last few years for various reasons, and it never fails to impress me. If anybody ever says that the ending of Lost made the entire show worthless, one need only point to the Pilot as concrete…

1, 2 and 3 are great. 4, 5 and 7 make it an all-time great. 6 is weird and transitional but has its moments. Almost definitely the weakest.

I wasn't expecting a single sentence to compel me to watch the piled-up episodes of this show I currently have on my DVR as soon as possible, but you've gone and done it.

Well, there goes most of the odds that I'll be seeing it in theatres (I rarely get to the theatre nowadays outside of the summer months). It looks stupid, but the fun kind of crazy sci-fi stupid that I enjoy, so this is disappointing.

The National is such a weird case for me. They're one of my favorite bands, but I totally get why people would find them boring. I get it and I can't put my finger on why exactly I don't find them boring, I just don't. In a way I kind of understand other people's opinions on them more than my own.

Yes, thank you, thank you very much, I was just about to post this same thing but then I saw your comment. Firefly was the only Joss Whedon show that I couldn't get into. I don't even think I've finished it (though I will someday I'm sure). It just didn't click with me. And I'm a huge fan of his and everything else…

Damn, that sucks. He always seemed like one of the most level-headed and in-touch network heads in interviews and just with his decision-making in general. And he was incredibly kind to genre shows, keeping Dollhouse around for more than one season and letting Fringe see its story through to the end. I hope whoever…

This has been my hope since last season, and it's only grown stronger now that Mrs. S seems to be so deep in the conspiracy. Felix and Sarah being the only orphans that Mrs. S kept permanently may have been handwaved last season, but there's no reason that couldn't be plausibly retconned into Mrs. S being charged with…

I liked the pilot enough to come back next week, but it felt like a lot of "Here's this and also this and guess what, this too!" There barely seemed to be a throughline connecting all of these characters, and I know that that will be built over time, but when the episode ended on Frankenstein's monster being awakened,…

With Community cancelled, all of its jokes from potential future seasons about how lame CBS is are seeping out into reality.

Are we sure he's even still alive? Has anyone seen him out and about in the last 8 years?

Sigh. I just want Sarah Michelle Gellar to have nice things.

Did I miss news on The Crazy Ones? I haven't watched it since midseason but I keep saying I'll pick it up again if it gets renewed. It wasn't half bad.

The whole "If you hate it you just didn't get it" argument is almost always bullshit, but if you hate Expose because you hate Nikki and Paulo, my first thought will probably be that you didn't get it.

I'm always shocked when Bai Ling shows up in something that isn't meant to be Southland Tales-level self-consciously ridiculous. Hindsight is 20/20, but seeing her name pop up in the cast list for episodes of shows like Angel and Lost is basically shorthand for "This will be the worst episode of the series".

I love the title of this show and even more than that I love that it isn't referring to a character named Penny.

Oh man. Chloe was one of my favourite things about the short section of 24 I watched (Season 5 and a few episodes of Season 6), but that whole Girl with the Dragon Tattoo get-up she's got in this is all kinds of hilarious. I feel kind of bad for Mary Lynn Rajskub for having it plastered everywhere in the promotion for…

Part of me is okay with the fact that I stopped watching this show after Season 1. I loved Season 1, and fully planned to watch Season 2, but never ended up getting around to it somehow and the reviews made me think I was probably better off for it. It does seem like some good stuff is happening now, though. Lord do I…

Well, I enjoyed Oculus, if only because it made a point of having a rigidly rational protagonist and didn't ever compromise and make her stupid for the purposes of the plot. The villain is a little undercooked but there are some decently unsettling moments, and the flashback structure is pretty well employed.

I was excited for a new Ti West movie until I found out it was found footage. House of the Devil is great and The Innkeepers is decent, but none of their strengths seem like they would translate well to the found footage subgenre (which I'm not a particularly big fan of in the first place), so I'll probably end up…
