I might've, but I already started rewatching the season on Netflix instant. They actually put it up a week ahead of time, so I could do that, unlike season 4 which they put online the same day as the season 5 premiere, so all I could watch was the finale.

Breaking Bad is a blast all around. Yes, it's a dark and gripping tragedy about a man losing his soul, but it's also gorgeous to look at and full of exciting and thrilling situations and crazy heists and schemes and, yes, as you said, very very funny. I feel like the show would sound less like homework to people

This is the first preemptively mega-hyped movie of 2013 that actually lives up to the hype (yes, I'm talking to you guys, Before Midnight, Upstream Color, and Pacific Rim!). It's rich, textured, emotional, powerful, beautiful and ugly all at once. It packs such a wallop. I hope Michael B. Jordan gets nominated for an

The Americans over Hannibal? Silly.

I'm not much of a fan of The Americans. I watched the whole season, but I find something kind of dull and detached and generically "we're a serious cable drama"-y about it. I adore Hannibal though. It's definitely the best surprise for me this year in any medium of pop culture.

Movies (in chronological order): Elysium, The Spectacular Now, The World's End, Gravity, Machete Kills, 12 Years a Slave, The Wolf of Wall Street

That would be kind of awkward, with the actors who played Spike and Angel pretty clearly not looking the same as they did on the show anymore.

I think the internet rumor mill just churned them not being close friends into that over the years, but it wasn't ever really based in fact.

Is that Explosions in the Sky at the beginning of the trailer? Because if there's one thing Peter Berg is a master at, it's using Explosions in the Sky music.

He directed the pilot of Friday Night Lights, which is easily my favorite TV pilot of all time, so I'd say he's gotten there.

Coach Taylor = I'm watching it. Even if I know it's a pretty small role.

From his five seconds in the trailer, it looks like he might be the (relatively) good guy in The Wolf of Wall Street.

How would someone even find out something like that? I have no idea how I would even go about finding out who my, like, fourth cousins are. 17 or 18? Geez!

I definitely missed Natalie, I realized when I saw her. Too bad she couldn't have appeared more in this block of episodes.

I very briefly skimmed a few comments here before watching this episode, and assumed that you saying Bay bought a $175 porno was some kind of joke, but then I watched the episode and I'll be damned if Bay didn't buy a $175 porno.

It's ironic that The Fosters is the show that has replaced Bunheads in ABC Family's schedule, because Bunheads was such a very low-key show, almost entirely focused on gentle character dynamics, with so little in the way of real "plot;" meanwhile, The Fosters is all about the all-caps DRAMA! Cops getting shot and

A spinoff of Supernatural seems like a weird, ill-advised idea. I doubt anyone watches Supernatural for the show's "world," they watch it for the Winchester bros (and associates).

This was the best episode since the pilot. Which doesn't mean it was that good, but I didn't find it actively painful to sit through at any point.

They should twist everyone's expectations and have every writer EXCEPT Aaron Sorkin there.

I don't hate it! I put it on my top 20 shows of 2012 list! … But like fifteen spots lower than I put it on my 2011 list.
