He didn't even need to make a device capable of blowing an armoured personal carrier off the road. He just needed a powerful and hot enough pop to ignite the petrol in the car's tank.

I don't think the problem with the tech side is plausibility; it's that it is lazy and boring. It's as if they have no idea how to organically move the plot forward. So when something needs to happen, they just find an email, spot someone on CCTV, or listen to two criminals talk incriminatingly on mobile phones.

It's set in Conn.

I saw this and suddenly thought there was a third season. You've officially made me sad.

The environmental collapse and dystopian society are the least of the future's problems. If whiny, angsty teenagers still have zac efron hair and dress like American Apparel models in 150 years time, then that society deserves what's coming to it.

The major problem with this show isn't the sexism (which is silly and grating), it is that it's not Prime Suspect. The original they had a prime suspect with the first 15 minutes of the series and then spent the next over 185 minutes building a case against him through solid, methodical police work.

Whitney is worse than bland, it really is pretty terrible. But New Girl is still definitely worse

Haven't DVD commentary tracks conclusively proven that just because someone is involved in the creation of something doesn't mean they have anything interesting to say about it?

My secret hope for the show: a group of Brooklynites meet a strange girl, but because of her looks and the affected personalties of other hipsters they assume she is just trying to be charmingly quirky. But in hindsight it is totally obvious that she was always an MRF.

I was hoping for a bad batch of cocaine.

They are all pretty positive; I don't think you should take it as an endorsement. They were even more positive about New Girl yesterday and that show is fucking terrible.

I liked the episode, but it really did crystallise problems with 2 of the shows major characters: Tamarra is vapid, dumb and really kind of awful and Matty treats Jenna terribly and Jenna would probably be better off without either of them. But I am not sure how the writers can address this beyond papering over it and…

Different factions of the IRA steal Jax's baby about 9 more times for absolutely no reason. At one point someone offers a reason, but it is really dumb, so it's probably best just to assume that in SOA's world the Irish are pathological baby stealers.

Why do people with almost-superpowers always go into law enforcement? There has to be other careers that would also benefit from extra-human abilities. Super memory could make someone a really efficient librarian.

During last season's Hector flash back, where he tries to drown one of the cousins, he mocks the cartel for thinking Gus is a "Big Man/Big Generalissimo". After we learned about his mother’s Chilean stew, I just assumed that we were meant to know that he was part of Pinochet's military regime. Also it explains why the…

I seem to remember from 4th grade English that narratives are meant to introduce a conflict at some point. What is the conflict in Prom?

The movie version Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is probably
the worst offender of this in recent years. I grow up at the very end
of 8bit games and record stores and I am not 2.

Flailing is pretty much the problem with all Wii games. It's more effective to recreate the actions of a seizure, than to attempt to recreate the activity you are supposedly simulating.

I think the increase in linearity has made the narrative worse. If you have a (partially-)open world, even if the story is completely linear, you have to give players a reason to move to the next cut scene. Why are we running through a field of lightning? To get to the temple. Why are we running around a slum? Because…
