This is pretty watchable.  As part of the dying non-DVR, non-cable, sit-at-home-and-watch-live-tv breed, this was alright.

It met my pretty low expectations.  Given that they were just going to set up the dominoes and not have any real drama this early along, it was fine for a pilot.  Definitely should get better in the coming weeks.  I think it helps that for once NBC did a good job programming.  The took Fox and the CW out of…

Happy Endings is so non-chalant about having a gay major character, that no one in the media seems to either notice or care. Oscar is generally one of the least cartoony characters on The Office.

Seriously, not enough British people on American TV?  You have to be kidding.  I am pretty sure Brits are the last group that needs more recognition.  Off the top of my head, Ringer and Revenge also have British characters, which is plenty considering how few there actually are in America..  Good Hispanic, Black, and…

Not going to read this, for fear of spoilers.  This has been a problem with other classic TV Club content here, namely the Homicide recaps.  The first of which drops an extremely major spoiler in the most nonchalant way in the first episode recap, as if everyone had been following a relatively unpopular show that…

There are a lot of things he won't divulge any information about, regarding his time in the army.

I know the guy who provided the Panama tape and/or suggested playing Panama.  He is pretty awesome.

You must be old or something.  I would say interwebs is the number two slang word for internet, coming in slightly behind of "the internets" and well ahead of "the (system of) tubes".

I was going to say I really liked that arrangement with that scene.  I would say Parenthood could learn a thing or two from this show when it comes to how to score your montages, i.e., save your music for when people aren't talking.  And if you are going to convey some real heaviness, where better to go than metal?…

Cold Story, Comrade!

“Miami is for trolls.”

Yeah, I'm in Chicago, and first- and second-hand sources are firmly on his side in this case.  Did something happen between him and that woman, when they were both fucked up on who-knows-what?  Maybe.  Did what was alleged happen?  Almost certainly not.

Yeah, way cool.  It reminds me of late-period Death, but with songwriting that's 1000% better, and vocals that are mixed properly and not cringey.

Well, it's just not as good in any way.  It's more like a successor to  Rainbow, which is also better than Attention Please.  I preferred the New Album versions of all the songs that appeared on both. 

New Album is probably the Boris to save for last anyway.  At that point, you'll wonder how they can reinvent themselves yet again, and yet they do.  It's entirely unexpected, but not really.  As long as you can accept a song called Party Boy and a lot of four-on-the-floor dancey times, you might love it.  Oddly…

Drunk posting. Dammit. I will take this opportunity to fathom at how 97% of music listeners can live without a blastbeat now and then. I'm not even talking about crazy 250 bpm stuff, but something like the blasting on Altars of Madness.

Is anyone going to the upcoming Rites of Darkness debacle?  At this point I'm less interested in the shows than seeing if the Red Roof Inn gets burned to the ground.  I'll be there, but it's not a choice I'd make again in retrospect.  Though maybe there will be some transcendence in the trainwreck.  Can't wait for…

Yeah, it was one of the better things I heard this year.  I was a lot less proactive about finding new metal this year - aftereffects of Metal Haven being closed. :(
Most years I'd only end up devoting maybe a third of my budget or less to new releases, so I was never particularly attuned to most of what was new, but…

I'm a huge Leviathan fanboy, but I couldn't help but be disappointed by that release.  Not as many standout songs/moments as the full-length albums, and I really didn't care for the production at all.  Where's the bass playing?  I thought it was sort of lazy to include two songs from the demo era also.  A few things…

I was too much of a social outcast to even have this music.  I had to listen to Boston and Neil Young because all the outcast-chic music was taken.  Now I think I have progressed enough to actually check out these albums.
