I love how they spend half their time actually rehearsing for carnival performances, and the other half robbing cartoonishly-large safes.

@Trakball - I just watched "Zodiac" last night, and it was crazy seeing him pop up as a Vallejo detective. I'd completely forgotten he was in it. Very un-Terriers role.

Well, the fact that they're apparently doing a "flashback" episode that unnecessarily calls back to the excellent season 2 ep where they to a table read of "Threat Level: Midnight" … well, that's just late-Simpsons-level fuckery.

"This is the real world!" says the man who runs a Carnival of Crime to the man who wears a magic cape to fight supervillains.

I'm actually picturing Rip Torn in the role, and it's glorious.

I knew it was coming…
But damn if I didn't still do an involuntary fist pump when I read the line about CHANG's return!

And I got the feeling that when all the circus members were burning their files, it was to destroy and record of their criminal involvement. Wasn't there a line in there about that? But then why, in 2011, would burning up some paper files delete all record of you from the police department? God, I love this show.

I love the idea that ARK would mass produce and sell a device that lets the ENTIRE FUCKING WORLD see into the future for an indeterminate amount of time. I can't even comprehend the societal problems that would cause.

Yeah, she did not look good in HD close ups.

That was dire
Great review, Zack. I'm trying to just enjoy the show for what it is, instead of comparing it to the much-better first season, but this show takes every opportunity to insult its viewers' intelligence. The poor man's Paul Rudd certainly had some past brain trauma to avoid noticing the "Mr. and Mrs.…

THE BLACK HOLE! That's a kickass theme. Almost makes you seasick listening to it (in a good way).

HURLEY!

Nah, a little time in the tanning booth and they'll orange him up good!

They'll never stop the Mad Men
Have no fears, we've got stories for years
Like, Don becomes a robot
Maybe Peggy gets a cell phone
Has Pete ever owned a bear?
Or how 'bout a crazy wedding?
Where something happens, and do-do-do-do-do

It wasn't the pronunciation that concerned me…

Fringe is back tonight, bitches!
It's been a pretty good couple of days for TV, what with the return of all the NBC shows.

OK @shieldvulf, I can't tekll if you're serious or not, but I'll bite. I was doing some other stuff but saw the last half of Outsourced. They must have frontloaded the ep with Bollywood stuff, because I didn't see anything.

Meh, they all look alike, right?

Dammit Sean
I'm trying to get some work done here. But when you go constantly posting shit like "carbon dioxide-stealing sidewalk-cancers," I end up laughing and blowing my cover.

Thanks Commish. Somebody's gotta police these streets. That Nabin's a loose cannon!
