"It seems like nobody loves to bitch and moan more than the people who loved Lost the most."

It's not entirely honest or accurate to say that the ending was the only problem with the show or the only thing people shit on. I mean, I hated it, but it's only one problem of many. (SPOILERS FOR NEWBIES) There was season 2, where the whole season was spent linking the tail section survivors back with the main group

1. Friday Night Lights
2. Freaks and Geeks
3. The West Wing

Congress is a tougher nut to crack for the Dems than the presidency, this is true.

If a Democrat president (presumably Hillary, if she runs) is elected in 2016, they might be able to turn the tide if they are able to appoint a Supreme Court justice or two. The Supreme Court turning from 4 liberal, 5 conservative (counting Kennedy as a conservative) to, say, 6 liberal, 3 conservative, would start to

This show was quite lovely and fascinating and even moving at many points, with just the right whiff of political anger lurking under the surface when needed. Visually beautiful, too; the special effects people deserve credit right alongside NdT, Ann Druyan and MacFarlane. It will definitely make my top 10 shows of

If they did it, due to special effects and stuff, it would probably not air for a few years. But we shall see.

But, if it makes you feel any better, that party has done a fantastic job making itself into effectively a small regional party incapable of winning national election over recent years. They managed to juuuuust eek out two presidential elections before getting crushed in the next two, and the polls (which I study with

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who found the segment about the elements of other worlds particularly memorable and fascinating.

On Saturday mornings my local CW affiliate shows five hours of cartoons from 7AM to noon: Rescue Heroes, Rescue Heroes, Sonic X, Bolts & Blip, The Spectacular Spider-Man, Justice League Unlimited, Dragon Ball Z Kai, Digimon Fusion, Yu-gi-oh, Yu-gi-oh Zexal. Saturday morning cartoons live!

I ended up watching the last 12 (I think) episodes of Supernatural season 5 in one sitting without even intending to, because it was so good and so cliffhanger-y. Also, piggybacking off your Spartacus example, last year I popped in the Spartacus: Vengeance blu-ray around 1PM one day and then watched all ten episodes

I watched Tamers for the first time after they put it on Netflix last month. I had seen the first few episodes when it first aired back in 2001 or whatever, but quit because it seemed very low-stakes and dull compared to Adventure, just Guilmon and Takato wandering around town and going to school. Little did I know it

I will definitely defend season 7 as ultimately more good than bad, perhaps largely on the strength of the Jack/Tony relationship and Renee Walker. It has some pretty cool set pieces too, like White House invasion. Season 8 was definitely more bad than good, but nevertheless Jack's attack on Logan's limo is maybe an

But interestingly he appears to be a mole who is nevertheless against the season's bad guys. The closest person I can think of to compare to would be Spenser Wolff back in season 5.

Oo, is this the long-awaited safe space where I can finally say that The Americans serves absolutely no function to me except being an incredibly effective cure for insomnia?

DeKnight's involvement makes this my most anticipated upcoming Marvel project, even ahead of Age of Ultron. On Spartacus he showed an amazing understanding of conflict and drama and story structure and character dynamics and just sheer spectacle and how to make his budget look like ten times what it actually was in

Jack Bauer has gone downright pacifist this season - just 2 kills with 7 episodes to go!

Humans make better banks than piggies.

Very solid, considering that 24 has been almost wall-to-wall music for 197 episodes now. Non-scored 24 scenes are rare. Callery has had to whip up a LOT of music for this sucker over the last 13 years.

Mrs. Coach should be all TV characters' true love.
