I thought I'd try following along with these. I hope you don't mind the company?

All of this. I'm not going to say that Tank's acquitted himself well at all in this situation, but it's not hard to empathise with him. Even if the actors playing him is 30, the character's still just a freshman, trying to keep his head above water in his first year of college. You'd have to be some kind of superman…

I agree with you on the Kubin piece. I think "The Past" was my favourite of all the ones archived on that wikipaintings page (so iconic), but I liked quite a few of the others, especially the ones with heavy blacks (charcoal?). "The gateway to hell" and "Black mass". Am I way off base in thinking Gerald Scarfe might…

To say is one thing, to do is another, I guess. Especially since not waiting around in this case amounts to standing on the sidelines watching Campbell make his move.

Fosters thread!

Hmm, can't say I see it from the Google image search photos, but I guess you'd have to see him on the show?
Speaking of; I've actually been toying with the idea of starting up a tumblr on the subject. I just need an amusing title somehow incorporating Dave Foley, the obvious patron saint of the endeavour.

Anyone bored and missing Mom might want to waste some time checking out the comments on last week's review. There was a rather detestable troll, but those comments have since been deleted, so now there's basically just a bunch of more or less reasonable people on the other side of the "argument", shouting into the…

Just a note for anyone watching The Fosters: there's a quite lively thread for the show in the Switched at Birth reviews every week, and your company would be most welcome.
And a note for anyone not watching The Fosters: if you liked Huge, Bunheads and/or Switched at Birth, I think you won't be disappointed if you…

At least he's able to embrace them, which perhaps indicates that they were missing, but now are found. Thank the Lord for small graces!

I don't believe I'll ever be sick of this bit.

Pish tosh, anything is possible for Sir Anthony Hopkins. Starring in a movie in which he doesn't even have a part is but a trifle compared to some of his greater feats.

I'll tell you what's mediocre to fair! Your comment, that's what!

You're so right about the casting. I'd happily watch this show sans Martin and Seán; the rest of the family is more than interesting enough on their own.
I was a bit leery of the increased presence of Padraic and introduction of Johnny Vegas as his invisible friend, but their raft-tastic adventures this episode (Vegas…

Moving on!

This week's Moone Boy was the first one I felt was in the first season's quality bracket. Not that the first two episodes were bad or anything (my slight reticence might even be blamed on it taking me a while to get into the Boyle groove), but this Halloween episode was spectacular.

Doesn't he do less episode reviews than he used to? It might just be my imagination because he doesn't do reviews for the shows I watch, though. Which swathes of your current viewing landscape are Sepinwall not covering, specifically?

…to me.

Yes! I also want to know this! I would like What's On Tonight to be one of the first things I see when I load the TV Club front page. It almost never is.

I might be forgetting some developments in their relationship from last season, but surely an Evan-centric episode with no Dalia is a missed opportunity?

I too was shocked that Brandon graded the episode not to reflect my opinion of it, but his own! The nerve of some people, I tell ya.
