Were the symbols carved in the wood above the bar the same ones we saw all over Hank's study?

I enjoy the Boyfriends era work at least as much as 'Middle Cyclone' (which I also rate highly), so I think it is worth saying that the new album is pretty solid in my book. I also describe music I listen to as "alt-country" despite the problematic nature of the label. This is mainly because saying that I like…

The intervening comment detracts from the credibility of the review. Value judgements should only be used sparingly and in reference to whole bodies of work or refer to the artist (or at least their public persona as we understand) if at all, in my opinion. You're right to call into question the reviewer's…

It's not stupid at all to say you don't like the characters. Any good writer will tell you that you have to have at least one character to root for (it's one of Vonnegut's rules). I had the same problem. The only character I really liked was Hannah's mother and she wasn't terrible interesting because she was…

-Carl is kind of awful.

Well, there's a new Dark Knight film out this summer (albeit this episode is clearly referencing the 2008 film) and there's been some Batman related controversy around the Occupy movement. By controversy I mean a disagreement between several comic book fans and Frank Miller. It's a pretty weak link, but there has been…

It's really weird that Andrea is one of my favorite characters in the comics and by far my least favorite on the show.

Great Michael Vick referencing scene. "Who do you know who got less than two years for it?" Wade Messer is a pretty likable character, sort of filling Dewey's old role as buffoon that constantly ends up at the mercy of Raylan.

Also, California Dreaming by Shaw Blades

I wish there was a super hero that fought silly hats.

This ep, like all of Sunny, made me laugh, but I thought it was pretty weak compared to the first two of Season 7.  I picked up on the CPS guy being a diddler right away and the only big laughs (for me) came from the musical numbers.  I think there was supposed to be more tension from the myriad possibilities for…

This ep doesn't reference 200 year gap.  That comes from the premier when River sees by the Doctor's eyes that he is 200 years older.

I agree, it is difficult to believe. But, as Ryan points out, that was a long time ago when Bukowski was less well known (and no Wikipedia). I know I try to not assume that a narrator is, in fact, the author even when the story is clearly based on an author's personal experiences.

Aerosmith
So…Janie's got a gun?

Final Scene
Maybe the final scene was too neat. Maybe we all should have known Raylan wouldn't be poinsoned, but the tension was incredible. Because of good acting and good editing, for a moment, I had my doubts about which glass the poison was in and my heart skipped a beat when Raylan, in a strained voice, asked…

Your welcome for the fried chicken. There are shitty and great things about every region, except maybe the Pacific Northwest, which is all good.

HIMYM
I thought Robin Sparkles did this song.

It probably is a 'C'…
…but, I think it's worth seeing. It is basically a comic book on film. While there are tons of books with substance, most comics are light on dialogue and are based mostly on mood and visuals. This describes the 300 book, which was effectively captured in the film.
