Much appreciated.

I don't know whether or not Erik has the same prerogative as Todd did as TV Editor — to be able to cover shows even if the readership isn't there — but if he does, I can't see any new network show more deserving of being covered purely on merit than JtV (you could make a case for Selfie, I guess). I'm repeating myself…

I had an experience similiar to that years ago; before the (local) premiere of The Phantom Menace, this one guy yelled "I totally got that" after a very unfunny commercial. Spontaneous laugh from the whole room, and one of my fondest memories of that night. Perhaps the only one.

I'm also caught up on Glue, but although I'm much more hungry for watching another episode now than I was after the first one, I still find myself a bit ambivalent towards the show. There's so much to recommend it, but I find myself coming back to a couple of early stumbling blocks that still mar my enjoyment of the…

So, I'd really like to say that Death Comes To Pemberley (for some reason, every time I try to write that title, I start by leaving out "Comes") is so good that it poops all over the dudebros here fuming at its top pick status, but regrettably, it's nothing special. Sure, the cast is flipping amazing (Anna Maxwell…

Thank you.

Fresh air, I've hear people raving about that all the time. You're right, I should check that out. And a very non-facetious thank you for the kind words. Thank you.

Oof, that's a nice remix. I'd love to hear an extended version — if that's not a heretical thing to say to a remixer — I love the effect that final drop had on the groove, it made me eager to hear it continue on that path for another x minutes.

Another weekend down the depression hole.

Gillian Anderson: the best or the greatest? Discuss.

I don't think I've ever seen a better second episode, at least of a network show. It managed to improve upon everything that was already pretty amazing about the pilot.

The fact that knocking twice doesn't prompt the app to ask "who's there", setting up the conventional joke dialogue, is as good a proof as any that the future isn't quite here yet, Teti.

This is only the best network drama pilot of the fall if you deem Jane the Virgin to be a comedy despite it being an hourlong. Come on, Nowalk, get your act together.

From what I've been able to gather from industry commentary, Marvel has never made an effort (at least in the post-Perlmutter years) to make trades a significant part of their business model (like DC or Image has), so while I'm sure what Brevoort says is true, it still is pretty disingenuous.

Mycomicsshop is pretty good, as is Midtowncomics.

Wait, so the reason for the book's drop in sales was that fewer people were buying the book? I don't know, that sounds fishy.

I've always wondered whether or not Vigdis Finnbogadottir's father's surname lived up to his awesome first name. "Finnbog" is a pretty awesome handle, so it'd take some doing.

I know my opinion is neither right nor wrong, it's just an opinion. Just like his. I guess my own estimation of Javier Pulido's art is so high I found it mind-boggling that I'm in the minority for feeling that way. It's a danger, I guess — mistaking one's own staunchly held opinions for facts. Given the artists who…

Sorry, I know you're entitled to your opinion, but I'm having a hard time believing that Javier frickin' Pulido is widely considered a "terrible" artist. I can understand his line and style itself not doing anything for you, but he's better at storytelling than just about anyone arting for the big two these days.…
