Great write-up, Kayla! I'd love to see a bit more from you about the visual/technical aspects of the show, especially on an episode as well-executed as this quasi-bottle installment.

I'm a bit baffled as to how Erik was able to write a review of the pilot without mentioning that scene, which as you say, was pretty damn horrid. I couldn't stand watching beyond that point, since I couldn't find any shred of self-awareness in the way the show depicted a hulking man literally shoving his…

For the Google-shy, here's a link. Brian's not kidding, that's pretty amazing. Also, Kathleen Turner is being very Kathleen Turner-y hosting, which is never wrong.

15-year old me would be all over this, but my patience with genre shows is growing thinner and thinner as the years pile on. If the characters aren't there, and if you persist in perpetuating the same bloody cliches and tropes (conveniently dovetailing with the casual misogyny Genevieve points out) in, I dunno, some…

I might get kicked out of here for saying this, but here goes: Lovely bit of writing, Mr. Dowd.

Thank you for the heads up, that sounds pretty damn amazing. And I see French wrote it as well. Fab!

John Reis was in Drive Like Jehu and Rocket from the Crypt at the same time; in fact, I think RFTC was formed before DLJ. The story is that he leveraged the considerable major label interest in RFTC to make whoever ended up signing them also take on the less commercially viable DLJ.

The comment above used to say something offensive, but soon it won't be here any more, so I guess you'll just have to take my word for it.

Ah man, this upvote is full of holes! No wait, that's "pitted". Nevermind.

Hold up now, I'll think you'll find it was Ron Funches' mama who gave us Ron Funches.

Not enough people read the Suits reviews on a weekly basis, therefore no regular Suits reviews. I assume, of course.

Aw, now I'm really glad for reading all the WA testimonials, getting me to this especially heartwarming story. Almost makes me consider switching Disqus from "oldest first" to "newest".

What do you mean I can't upvote this a million times, Disqus? Seems un-American to me.

The only way your comment would be better is if it had ended in an ellipsis or an exclamation mark…in italics!

I'm sorry the readership couldn't support regualar reviews; both because the quality of the season has taken a serious upswing after an opening episode that to me was even more bumpy than this review makes it out to be; and because it means less Carrie Raisler. I was really worried about the show tanking after the…

Too right. The only worthwhile thing about reading Ready Player One was being paid $500 by a regional newspaper to review it, and handing in what basically amounted to a two-paragraph Choose Your Own Adventure riff.

Alphas is a minor classic for the dialogue alone. When I started watching it I realised that this overlapping, natural-for-TV workplace banter was what Leverage had been trying (and failing miserably) to do for several seasons. I promptly gave up on the forced nerdwankery (a phrase that could easily describe Ready…

Totally with you regarding WYWH. Spurrier's work is of such a quality there that it transcends the solid-to-mediocre-to-outright-crap artists Avatar has saddled him with. And the delivery format of a weekly comic is perfect as well. The feeling of a new episode appearing in my RSS feed is like nothing else; there's…

I'm not sure I like him, but I do think he's a solid actor. All wrong for Strange, though.

Is this a stealth reposting of some hoity-toity UK newspaper TV critic? Or an Amazon review of the DVD?
