Kimmy solves all problems! Have the spoiled and vicious rich child happily beat a poor person in a robot suit. Uneven as it is, I still see some potential for the show but this particular gag was straight-up offensive.

They ate a red hen. The rooster was white, much larger and had extravagant plumage — you know — like a rooster. Foghorn Leghorn got lucky that the No-Collars didn't know that he was unnecessary to the production of eggs.

I keep confusing Rodney with Tom Brady. It's not just their near-identical physical appearances— they also share that dynamic, leader-of men vibe.

You are the forgiving type! It was just the other week that she boasted about inspiring 4 suicide attempts.

The reviewer left out the word "potential" before child and though you are completely right in your larger point, I say we give Alston the benefit of the doubt for having the task of being stuck writing about Girls. With the shit these characters pull week after after week, and the pissed-off responses the show…

I have a suspicion that the less you know about the Marvel franchise — comic books, movies, mythology, the whole shebang — the more enjoyable Agents of Shield is. That said, I like the show a lot and found this episode especially enjoyable. Clark Gregg as Phil Coulson is the glue that holds this enterprise together…

Looking is an enjoyable and poignant show about friendship, love, sex and navigating life. Put aside all the noise about its "importance" or lack thereof and the controversy over its depiction of the gay lifestyle (as if that is a single, monolithic thing). By the way, anyone who is judging the whole shebang based…

Thanks for this. I posted about the same thing before I got down to your comment. It completely took me out of the moment it was so preposterous.

No nod to the death of Matthew Crawley in the Sybil scene. It was as if he never existed. That he would not also have been in their thoughts (his widow in his son's nursery) is beyond weird.

When Branson and Mary and Edith held hands in the nursery and communed with Sybil's spirit, all I could picture was the deeply bummed-out ghost of Matthew Crawley floating above them waving his vapory arms. Matthew's widow, his best-friend and his sister-in-law couldn't be bothered to remember him while standing in…

Katrina's turn to the dark side, dumping everything and everyone she had previously stood for, made her seem deeply flakey. And there was more than a little bit of that to Henry's change of direction. Ichabod was warning of a darker purpose behind Henry's tempting of Katrina, but no — he was sincerely (and…

I was completely distracted in the scene where she weighs whether or not to hold up the gorgon head to Irving. She kept glancing down at the thing and I was thinking, great, she is going to accidentally turn herself to stone and she will become a minor plot point as they spend next season trying to thaw her out. I…

I actually check the website www.doesthedogdie.com so as not to be ambushed by dog deaths in movies. Lord Grantham's devotion to Isis actually made me like him a little bit. When the art historian was on the make for Cora, Robert was mostly incensed because the man acted too familiar with his dog — Lord Grantham at…

Richard E. Grant is in one of the stars of my favorite weird, funny British show of all time — viewable on youtube — Posh Nosh. He was also a compellingly entertaining train wreck on Girls last season. I wasn't wild about his turn on Downton but I am always delighted to see him turn up and Posh Nosh is brilliant.

Casablanca, Pushie, Japanese Messy Boy, the Jay Z Bio, that second D'Angelo performance — it's an A- haters — nothing less.

The level of detail about how he got the gig as a Japanese Messy Boy was what really sold it for me. And I loved the shift in the room from embarrassed horror to fascination to admiration — of course he is a Japanese Messy Boy — who wouldn't want that gig? Simmons killed it and the restraint of the sketch was exactly…

No, wait — isn't he Filipino?

Please tell me you saw him in the short-lived SyFy series Caprica. He played a tough as nails alien who had a sweet relationship with his husband. The guy's got chemistry for days with the mens and the ladies!

I had the impression in part 1 of this episode that Renard had called his own Wesen henchman into his office and instructed him to get to the bottom of the hate group. Am I mis-remembering that? It never came up again.

I also liked Kristen Wiig okay outside of SNL until her relentless sucking on SNL bled over into my impression of her in all settings.
