It took balls for Friday Night Lights to feel it had earned the right to end its second episode with a here's-what-all-the-characters-are-up-to musical montage, and it took balls again to feel it had earned the right to end its fifth episode with another. But both completely and totally work, which is a testament to

In addition to Professor Judas Booth, I'm pretty sure that is also an alt.tv.simpsons quote posted at some point mid-season 5.

Joke's on Buzzfeed - there's absolutely nothing hip about me.

I'm like 80% sure that's what the final season of Glee will be. Them making a show-within-the-show that is essentially season 1 of Glee.

I have been liking it more than season 4 but still not nearly as much as I liked season 3, which in turn was a step down from season 2.

Lagertha chilling with her cat felt like a callback to Ragnar and his baby goat. Loved it!

I agree, but season 4 has my favorite episode of the series, Dinner Party.

I agree except I'd switch 7 and 4.

They had a stuntman for a three-second gag just a few episodes ago: The guy who slipped on the water after Abed's rainy apology to Rachel.

Top 5:
1. Geothermal Escapism - The episode that managed to make paintball cool again by not having any paintballs. Great-looking faux-epic action mixed with a strong emotional through-line tying it all together, with a great emotional ending.

Quest for Glory IV: The Vorpal Bunny. Perhaps not terrifying, but surely vicious.

I put some batteries in and flipped on my old brick Game Boy just for a fun last year when I found it in a box in my closet, and holy shit are you right. I couldn't believe how hard it was to make out anything. Years of DS backlight had ruined me.

In all fairness, both shows fall into the "critically adored show" category.

Anyone else watch Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey last night? It might have been my favorite episode yet, along with episode 2. The way it gradually built its discussion of atoms from the smallest "cosmos" of the dewdrop to the more visible physical realm to outer space and then all the way back to the beginning of time

I reserve the right to change my mind if it goes downhill, but as of two episodes in I feel more on this show's wavelength than any new comedy since Rick and Morty. The multiple reveals of Big Head listening to himself get insulted, looking up "business plan" on wikipedia, most anything Martin Starr said - I was

I thought True Detective was great… but since its first season formed a complete, finished story that we'll see no more of, I've found it has fled from my mind more quickly than other TV shows that tell their stories and percolate in my mind and heart over years (or, even in the case of single-season shows like Freaks

*Todd peers down into Hannibal soundstage from roof*

Yup, and Yvonne Strahovski, and Michelle Fairley, and John Boyega, and Gbenga Akinnagbe. I certainly can't deny they've put together a cast I like!

I went to see The Last Unicorn there a couple months ago and GRRM was just hanging out in the lobby, saying hi and talking to everyone who came in. When the guy behind the popcorn/soda counter went to go to the bathroom or something, GRRM hopped behind there and gave people their popcorn and soda for a few minutes.

Alan Rickman rightly gets all the attention, but I think it should also be noted that Michael Wincott as Guy of Gisbourne in that movie has possibly the weirdest and greatest voice in film history. Can't believe that strange and awesome dude didn't become a more regular character actor presence through the 90s and 00s.
