That was definitely one of the best scenes on TV this year!

Really, really liked this. After the disappointment of Vinyl and True Detective season two (and The Night Of turning out to be merely a good show, not a great one), I am really hoping HBO has struck gold.

I stopped watching Enterprise some time in season two, it was just so boring. I came back for parts of the fourth season as I heard it got better…and it did a little bit, but the show still had some fundamental problems. In particular, the characters were completely uninteresting and the actors horribly dull, even…

I couldn't agree more about Generations. It's not a fantastic film, but gets far more crap than it deserves.

Alternately, when one of the writers has to go online to apologize for the trailer immediately after it airs, that's not a good sign either.

It may sound like sacrelige, but when I was watching Harper’s Island it reminded me (in a positive way) of Twin Peaks. Sure, it had nothing like David Lynch’s surreal tone and fantastic direction, but they used the pacific northwest setting very well – maybe even better than Twin Peaks, which was shot on a California…

Doctor WHAT?!?!?!?

I went through an Ellroy phase back in the late 90s. I read a number of his novels, including a couple from the LA Quartet, plus one or two of his earlier ones. I enjoyed them, though it was amazing how unsympathetic most of his characters were. But that was fine, not every book had to have goody-goody protagonists.

The one show Agents of SHIELD reminds me of, at least at times, is Chuck. This episode in particular felt almost like a left-over script from that show. Swap out Fitz for Chuck, Ward for Casey, Skye for Morgan, Simmons for Walker, and Coulson for General Beckman (okay some of those are not perfect fits), and you`d…

It's one thing for a lone superhero to act as vigilante who operates outside the law. There may be a moral quandary there, but that type of behaviour has always been part of the superhero mystique and lore, and we go along with it.

I doubt that Marvel would let them do a plot that suggested SHIELD was anything less than good guys. The closest we might get is some evil SHIELD breakaway group. Which is too bad, because the more I watch this show the more I'm starting to despise SHIELD as a quasi-fascist organization.

It was nice they got Sam Jackson to show up for a few minutes, but this show really needs to start developing its own identity and stop trying to shout at the audience "WE ARE PART OF THE AVENGERS UNIVERSE, REMEMBER HOW AWESOME THE MOVIE WAS!?!?" all the time.

Great to see Miami Vice get some much-deserved attention. I love the way the movie throws you into the world of these cops, with no slowing down to explain the lingo, having them introduced almost mid-scene, etc. It seems this movie rubs a lot of people the wrong way, but I think it's another excellent Mann film.

I kind of feel sorry for the writers. Callbacks to events in previous
episodes and seasons are to be expected in a show like Community. It
happened all the time in the first three seasons, and the writers aren't
monsters for bringing up the Darkest Timeline or Inspector Spacetime.

It's a little Star Wars-y, with the laser battles and the comedy relief robots. I seem to recall a Han Solo-like character as well, but it's been ages since I saw it.

Working in a University, this bothered me as well. I doubt even the head of HR (usually fairly high up in administration) would be on a tenure review committee.

My personal favourite is from WKRP: Johnny Fever (aka Howard Hesseman) as  "Phillipe Caravella", and Bailey Quarters (Jan Smithers) as "Miss Ginger Grey, Playmate of the Year 1975", trying to scam a sleazy photographer out of some racy photos he took of Jennifer.

I loved the opening music and sequences for both seasons of Space: 1999.
The first season music was a little slower to start and showed the 2001: A Space Odyssey influence that was heavy on the show. http://www.youtube.com/watc…

I liked Dexter going for the cleaver. On the surface, that scene was just Hannah preparing an omelet, but as both characters know her weapon of choice is poison. Dexter was trusting Hannah by letting her prepare food for him, but by brandishing a big knife he was showing off his own weapon of choice, and maybe letting…
