Christ, did that headline stop me in my tracks. How awful.

"Devin Faraci of Badass Digest just wrote a piece about how Sharknado panders to snarky tweeting hipsters…" Sure, he's right. But if those snarky tweeting hipsters have a good time being snarky and tweeting, then why is it a "problem"? Having fun watching stuff is having fun watching stuff. It's not pandemic of…

This was a pretty good pilot. Solid B+. Some of the early scenes with Diane Kruger being all autistic with Ted Levine had me feeling like I was watching a more serious-minded version of Monk set in El Paso, but it got more interesting once she hooked up with Bichir. I'm also loving the fact that the show isn't…

I don't think Guardians even starts shooting until shortly before P&R S6 filming starts, and it's filming in the UK and shooting will take several months and he's the main character. So I can't see how he won't be glovering.

That movie is pretty fascinating, because there's no way in a million years a feature-length Nintendo commercial would have the word shit and "He touched my breast!" in it today. In fact, whatever happened to saying "shit" in kid's movies anyway? So many good "shit"s in The Goonies and The Wizard and ET and The…

Nope! It was a kick-ass action flick that I wish more action cinema could aspire to look and feel like.

That's great, but I'm definitely waiting just as anxiously if not more so for the announcement of Roger Deakins returning.

Same. The Wire is amazing of course, but Michael B. Jordan is and may always be Vince Howard to me. (On the other hand, Dominic West, Idris Elba, Michael K Williams and pretty much everyone else ever to appear on The Wire will always be McNulty, Stringer, Omar and their various Wire characters to me. Michael B. Jordan…

I'm definitely looking forward to this because I think Michael B. Jordan is insanely talented, I'm a huge fan (mostly from Friday Night Lights, though The Wire is obviously nothing to sneeze at either), and I think there's a damn good chance he's a future huge star. At the same time, I'm not looking forward to it…

@Roswulf:disqus I gotta say that I'd give West Wing the win in every single one of those matchups except for Charles vs. Lowe. I mean, I love Sports Night and I love Peter Krause and Felicity Huffman, but I still give Whitford and Janney the hands down wins.

I'll give a shot to any cable drama that isn't about an anti-hero/anti-heroes with a criminal double life just on principle.

So good.

Yeah, I'm not sure what to make of this new notion that Game of Thrones invented killing off characters. 24 was more or less as brutal about offing characters as Game of Thrones, and that started in 2001.

I liked Arrested season 4 a whole lot, and it's probably my favorite live-action TV comedy of 2013 so far (and second favorite 2013 TV comedy overall after Bob's Burgers). But yes, compared to S1-3, it was somewhat inferior. Pretty much all sitcoms in the history of television are inferior to AD S1-3, so that's not…

So I guess between this and the silent ASL episode last "season," (and by season I of course mean block of ten episodes, because the way this show airs is weird), I guess we're gonna be getting one "concept" episode a season? I'm cool with that.

I'm ok with the Liam stuff… so long as it's wrapped up within this season. If we're going to have to deal with multiple years of Liam mystery/stalker stuff, it will start to become a big problem.

Yeah, I spent a lot of this episode semi-distracted by how much Daphne looked like a fully grown-ass woman. Definitely one of TV's less convincing "teens."

The only thing missing was a blue streak in Bay's hair.

My thoughts ran to a getting drunk and crashing the car scenario, but your interpretation makes just as much or more sense.

Most any competent actor is capable of being in a great show or a terrible show or anything in between depending entirely on what material they're given. Thus Dean Norris can go from Breaking Bad to this. Thus Giancarlo Esposito can go from Breaking Bad to Revolution. Thus Will Arnett can go from Arrested Development…
