I think it's a lazy shorthand. And I happen to think Hostel and Hostel 2 are both better and actually more intelligent than that reductive term would suggest.

Torture Porn?
People are still trotting out that tired phrase? You're better than that, AV Club; you're better than that.

We're not using the zed word!!!
Has anyone in this show said "zombies" yet? I've heard walkers, the dead, geeks, them, they, etc. but don't recall someone straight up calling them zombies. Just curious if I've missed something or if it's a conscious decision by the writers.

Wow!
That guy from "Johnny Mnemonic" is really pissed off!

Coco, Sanity and an Empire in Decline
When people were (cyber and physically) rallying for Team CoCo in Conan's final days at NBC, Michael Ian Black wrote this bleak/honest assessment of the whole affair: http://www.michaelianblack…. And it reminds me of this rally as well.

For those that hoped this rally would directly cause specific action
A respectful question - what were you hoping for?

Best of Luck, Wiesner!

Wiesner, my apologies for the typo.

Shaloman
So…Weisner just made The Thing? I mean, that's a rock guy who's Jewish. And Dan Slott's series had a lot of jokes/parodic elements. Just sayin'. I wish him nothing but success in all of his future endeavors.

Where is this available?
I'm intrigued by all of the tight trousers and nudity, but dismayed by the lack of information on the web on how to procure this DVD.

S3 of UCB on DVD?
I guess this is as good a place as any to ask - where's the Season 3 dvd set for Upright Citizen Brigade? Why??? Season 1, Season 2, then nada. Are there rights issues tying it up? Please someone…help me!

Also - these don't ruin the show for me - I just worry they may clutter appreciation of an otherwise entertaining and ambitious show.

…Part 2…
11. Why did Locke have to kill his father? My hypothesis is that Jacob tested Locke with the moral quandary of killing his father. But then Locke pulled a serious Jacob and placed Sawyer in the precarious moral situation. But is that a pass or a fail?
12. Are all of the coincidences/six degrees of…

Some Lingering Questions…part 1
I'm starting to wonder what mysteries/questions will go unsolved. I don't mean little questions or mere incidental queries but rather large pieces that had consequences for the entire narrative of the series. Here's my list so far. Please correct me if I'm wrong on anything, or feel…

hehe…you said "hard on"

Video links aren't in article
Also, I guess being contrarians for the sake of being contrarians is interesting - up to a point. I dunno, it seems like the episodes I like the best are the silly weird ones that maybe have a more general message than commenting on any specific topical issue.

And two other bits of nitpickery…
1) When Claire talks about her father and her friend, are they meant to be two separate identities or one? Is it like a Chinatown thing? Er…Spoiler alert if you haven't seen Chinatown, I guess.
2) Who's Jack's Baby Mama? Is it Julie Bowen? God I hope "Modern Family" is now part of…

Claire & Jin have a heart to heart…
This was both the pettiest and yet most aggravating bit to me - Claire wasn't fazed at all by Jin speaking English? I mean, I guess the solution is "she's crazy." But…what? It seems kinda lazy that she wasn't like "remember when you frowned all the time and just cursed in Korean…

Didn't "Always Sunny" not have great ratings too for the first season and a half or so? I guess it all depends on how much it costs to make. I think if F/X had paired with another comedy instead of just airing two episodes of the same show (with one being a rerun), it would've been better.

Ass glue - the best KIND of glue!
