Yeah, I think a big part of it might be lack of channel availability, plus the fact that it took half a day for it to show up online. Still, the comment count saddens me, and just like I did with Spartacus, I will make it my mission to get as many people to watch this as possible.

That is certainly a true statement.

So, Rectify was wonderful. Aside from Friday Night Lights, no other show had such a profound impact on me this early on, and season two's premiere was no different; there were several scenes in just that episode that already wrecked me.

LJo! Hi! I miss you, too. I should probably hang out around the TI more, if that's where you're at.

Abigail Spencer is flat out brilliant. Amantha's fiercely protective of Daniel, and we can see the impact his return has had on her in every single scene: everything that happens to Daniel can cut her deep and bring out that fire—him beaten up and put into a coma, for example—but it can also warm her heart, as we see

The Daniel-Kerwin friendship is one of the most well-drawn, well acted things I've seen on television. Kerwin's honest and selfless and optimistic, and his ability to live vicariously through Daniel allows him to truly live, even if right now, he's dead (gosh, that "Because I know you" scene…still sticking with me).

This whole conversation will play out this fall on the final season of Sons of Anarchy.

This "Twilight" person is one lucky bastard.

Oh, that's disappointing. I haven't seen season 5 yet, so…

I'll always defend Julie. During season 2, she was at her worst, but then again, season 2 was the weakest season of the show, and when the show improved again, so did she. They nailed her character and her typical teenage behavior, along with the various nuances that resulted from the specific situations she found

So, Fargo was a very well made, well acted miniseries with a satisfying ending both thematically and plot-wise, and the season contained two of the best episodes of the year with "Buridan's Ass" and "A Fox, a Rabbit, and a Cabbage". It was consistently enjoyable and hit some amazing highs…

I loved the scene with Pamela and Louie's daughters. First of all, Parker and Delany were amazing as always—huge round of applause for their work this year—and it was so sweet watching them all happy and getting along and laughing. We know that this relationship seems self-destructive and I can easily seeing it

Yeah, the art museum sequence was hilarious, and I don't care much for the criticisms of it being too easy or like sawdust and camera-lodging planks or whatever the hell. It was just refreshing to get something like that after the (albeit brilliant) drama we had up to this point, and you can tell CK had a blast

Funny story about that: the script said "Kate lovingly caresses polar bear" at first, and I was excited, but they cut it because Cuse/Lindelof were assholes and were messing with me (it was fine, since I made out with Evangeline in a trailer later). When I showed up on set, I was drunk and pissed off, and Josh

I was in this episode!

I'll add The Shield, Friday Night Lights, and Battlestar Galactica (if we're talking "33").

Yes, that character was amazing, and Sudduth did such a great job. He was truly a good guy and a good teacher who cared about Louie, and I grew to love him after only a few scenes. I also spent the whole episode dreading the moment in which their relationship would ultimately deteriorate once the truth came out, and

Yeah, exactly, and anyway, I don't think this episode is as out of the blue and breaking continuity as it may seem at first; it makes sense with what we've seen so far this season. Louie's had difficulties with Jane throughout, and this episode drives home the point about dealing with divorce, this time from Lily's

This episode had Jack Bauer driving like a badass through the streets of London, punching random dudes on the street, stealing cars and stealing from homeless people, and narrowly avoiding a bunch of huge explosions while transporting the dying daughter of a terrorist—who, by the way, wanted to kill her daughter—away

"I want to get a job on my own merits, and he's the guy to get it for me."
