No doubt that's the idea. And don't get me wrong, I'm all for a love-to-hate-'em bad guy in any TV show. But (so far, at least), Jarl doesn't capture any of the love-to-hate-'em vibe of, say, Joffrey from Game of Thrones, or Windmark from Fringe, or Gyp Rosetti from Boardwalk Empire. All he captures is making me check…

The best thing Parks could do for its legacy is do a pre-planned sixth and final season and wrap it up, stamping an awesome mark into TV history forever.

I'm so torn on this show. Everything with Ragnar and his wife and kids and the priest and him raiding and stuff, I like a lot. But Gabriel Byrne's character pretty much sucks and stops the show dead in its tracks with insane reliability. I guess that could change down the line, but it's definitely where I stand three…

This felt like more of a "bridge" episode (lol) than the extreme high-energy plot-dense last couple of hours, but I still did some embarrassingly excited fist-pumping when Team Spartacus popped up and started raining spears and arrows down on Team Crassus at the end. Good show, good show. Now back to counting down the…

Not for Gannicus and Sibyl, apparently. Man, let me tell you, I would NOT have had sex on the mind in that scenario, and, even if I had, I severely doubt Eolith Jr. would be cooperating at 10 degrees below zero plus wind chill.

That was a pretty satisfying season of television. Consistently enjoyable action (that fight in episode 3 - god damn!), solid enough character development, and a finale that struck the right balance between wrapping up stories, letting season 1 in certain ways rest as a self-contained packet of storytelling, while…

No "arguably" about it; this show is more entertaining and satisfying than Strike Back top-to-bottom.

You are both right and wrong.

Well that was painful.

As someone who's watched "Environmental Science" way too many times, I'm fairly certain that was the same actress.

The one imperfection in Arrested Development! Well, ok, that and "Ready, Aim, Marry Me."

A lot of that was pretty messy. But I laughed and laughed at the Grizzly Man reference, and enjoyed Troy disagreeing with everything Annie said and the return of Chang's wife. So a 'B' grade seems about right.

Shonda Rhimes, and… err….. hmmm………….. oh dear.

This post pretty much puts a wrap on the internet.

I'm pretty much exactly in the middle on Girls. Occasionally they put out an episode I think is very good (the crack/party one from last season, the fourth episode of this season). Often I end an episode and have no real strong opinions on it of any kind. Sometimes I find episodes (this would include last Sunday's) to…

I actually think Zosia Mamet is great (though I'm basing that less on Girls than on her other work I've seen her in outside of Girls). I don't think she's a future superstar, but I think she's someone I'll always enjoy seeing on TV for as long as she's on TV.

Look, it's awesome that you've found a show you obviously love so much. No sarcasm, it's actually really awesome! I know how rare and terrific a feeling it is to have a show truly click with you on every level where you can't wait to see and to talk about it it every week. It's a feeling I only get with about one new…

As opposed to what The Walking Dead really is: a middling drama in 2013. HEY-O!

Oh no! How is the cast and crew of Bombshell going to deal with the Observers? Maybe their red universe counterparts can help out.

Whoa man, that episode had a TON of disparate stuff going on. It was kind of a mess! But an enjoyable mess all the same. Looking forward to the show's return.
