I expect zero ads in my online viewing.  If I'm interested in supporting a show financially, I will buy the DVD/Blu-ray set, but I will acquire it from ad-free sources while it's initially airing.  I wasn't always this way, but once Hulu introduced Hulu Plus and still inundated me with ads, I pretty much gave up on

If Wikipedia is accurate, he's actually doing a lot better (circa 2011).  Several experts have testified that he's stable enough to reintegrate into society.

I refuse to watch Dark Skies solely because the few lines in the trailer where the dad talks about there being a reason for a Save button in Modern Warfare multiplayer.  Given how integrated gaming is into mainstream culture these days, I find this kind of thing inexcusable.  To me, it just makes the writers look like

It's not the first time they've gotten away with near-R-rated material on Justified.  The episode in the first season where Raylan holes up in the hotel room with the sports star (I don't remember what sport, that was a long time ago), there was a scene where the guy calls a woman for a booty call and they showed an

This is one of my favorite things about Justified.  Raylan has real flaws and the writers stick to them for the most part.

Yep.  As soon as I heard that line, I decided I was going to use it on somebody.

Some logic gaps in this episode.  When Victoria gives Daniel instructions for leaving the office, she tells him not to use the driver.  Wouldn't that tip off the assassin that Daniel's been let in on the plan, which would furthermore tip the Initiative off that somebody told him the plan?  Helen wouldn't have told

Forcing a woman to perform fellatio is going to be considered rape by most courts.  Sorry to burst your bubble.

The way it's being handled makes sense within the context of the show though.  With the exception of maybe Jimmy, none of these people are as in-tune with the nuances of modern society.  They don't really care about whether or not their conversation with Molly or how they treat her is politically correct.

I…I don't even.  Wow.

You could stand to tone it down a bit.  It's clear you love the show, but there are plenty of ways to express your admiration without all of the theatrics and personal insults.

I've lived in Alaska most of my life and I'm going to tell you that while it is a gorgeous place to be, the scenery is to die for, it's boring.  It's also cold, wet and unpleasant most of the time.  Half of Alaska is an arctic desert, the other half is an arctic rainforest.

I just rewatched that scene and I don't think he could see the table from where he was standing.  There's a wall between the dining room and the couch in the living room, even though it's not very long.  I'm willing to let it slide.

Yeah, I've always kind of disliked how exes on TV just sort of disappear.  From personal experience, in real life they never go away.  Both of my exes, much to my dismay, are super best friends with my mother.  I'm stuck with them even though I'm not stuck with them.

I think this is fair criticism when discussing a TV show that Netflix is trying to use to revolutionize the way the medium is consumed.  His point was that for all Netflix is doing to tout it as just that, it really isn't just that - it's just more of the same.  It's really good same, but still same.

I think this might actually be the worst episode of the series so far, at least for me.  It started off okay, but by the end I just wasn't feeling it.  Something was really off in this one.  I can't quite place my finger on what.

Then where are all the pandas and elves?

We knew she had a brother-in-law, so doesn't that mean we already knew she was married?

My schedule of TV shows is complicated enough I use my Google calendar to keep track of them all.

Now that you mention it, you have a point, but I think the scene worked purely on how well it was acted.  The facial expressions and body language were great.
