The Wire is a prime example of me putting off shows. I watched the first four episodes, liked them well enough, and then haven't watched another one for over half a year. I need to make sure I get back to that at some point.

I think the only scenario where this would apply for me is if I know the series is ending soon, but I have no way of catching up before it does. Case in point: The Good Wife, which is something I really want to watch, but it'll most likely be done after season seven and there's no way I can watch 100+ episodes in a…

I don't think it was eligible (I believe eligibility period was June 1, 2014 to May 31, 2015). Critics choice is usually more sensible than the Emmys, so they probably would've been the most likely to nominate it had it been eligible.

Michael Emerson was phenomenal in that scene. The writers have done an excellent job of building this storyline up throughout the series, but without such a great actor in Emerson, that moment wouldn't have been nearly as effective. “I thought you would want me to stay alive. Now, you are not sure" was some pretty…

Nick trying to do burpees was hilarious. I want a Nick Miller workout video.

The problem for me is that the dialogue and characterization fell flat. The jokes—which honestly felt like all of the dialogue—didn't do much for me, and the characterization was pretty empty (outside of Hawkeye, who was fun). I think I just don't enjoy watching these characters that much if there's nothing compelling…

Oh, and I finished up the first season of The Sopranos. The ending of "Pax Soprana" was one of my favorite episode endings I've seen, and "Isabella" was masterful.

I didn't like Age of Ultron at all. It spent so much time setting up future movies that it forgot to focus on itself, and because it had a habit of bringing up potentially intriguing topics only to conveniently drop them, even the set-up suffered as a result. It felt like a movie with no consequences or stakes or…

Also, Kurt Sutter wrote Southpaw. Gyllenhaal is great, but the team behind the movie doesn't give me much confidence.

That line was also one of the times I laughed. I'm pretty sure it wasn't supposed to be funny, but it was so stupid that it was. Linda Cardellini is great, but if that's the best they can do for her, she's better off staying away from this franchise. Julie Delpy also.

That was one of my biggest problems with the movie. It had a habit of bringing up potentially interesting plot points like that, then just conveniently dropping them in favor of more of the same. As a result, even the setup for the next few movies was pretty bad, because 1) I found very little indication of any…

Cardellini also has what I believe to be the most unintentionally funny line of the movie. But yeah, she has some screen time, whereas I barely remember what Delpy did in the movie.

I have not seen Guardians, although I've heard great things. I should watch that soon.

AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is growing at an unprecedented rate, and as a result, its movies are reaching for the edges of that universe, constantly preoccupied with what's up next in this ever-expanding story. Avengers: Age of Ultron plays like a hastily put together scrapbook of *cool…

"I doubt she's showing up with Pete's gun to blast Don out the window of the opening credits"

Yet probably better than most other reviews.

Eh I feel bad about that joke anyway. She seems to be more of a symbol than a character so far, so I can kind of see why you'd think her role in the story would be as a grim reaper of sorts. I think everyone ends up okay. If not, Meredith will be the last one left standing.

So maybe she ends up becoming Princess Diana.

In more "Elisabeth Moss is the best" news, I loved the subtle reaction by her after the "You do what you want with your children, and I’ll do what I want with mine!” line from the mom. I love this cast.

Agreed. I love how this episode seemed to work as a reverse "Shut the Door. Have a Seat."
