I like the last half of season 4 more than most, I'll admit, but ending before that would have been so, so much better.

Synergy with yesterday's Watch This…

@mrcecil - I seem to remember Kyle McLachlan saying something similar on one of the bonus features in the first season box set, that he's give these abstract instructions and just expect them to be understood.

1. Pornography
2. Seventeen Seconds
3. Disintegration
4. Join the Dots
5. The Head on the Door

One thing I love about the finale: They never explicitly say who leaked
the 911 tapes, but one quick cut to Karen Mitchell's face while she's
trapped with Aceveda and Claudette tells you anyway, and another set of
cuts to the other two make it clear that they know
too. Any other show like this would have made that a…

"Dragonchasers" was the first ep I saw of The Shield. I didn't know the back story, the characters or how they related to each other or anything beyond the fact that everything I read about the show was far more laudatory than I'd ever seen in my (admittedly short) time paying any sort of attention to that sort of…

His zero star review of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead is far more insightful and well-considered than anything I can say about it and I'd call it my favorite movie of all time without much hesitation. He definitely had a way to talk about why movies don't work for him without coming off like an asshole.

I think the reason I like Soul Mates more than the consensus seems to place it is that Keith Szarabajka is the best smug - not smarmy, smug - asshole character actor out there and his stuff here has amazing levels of 'fuck you, you're below me' radiating off of him. As much as the Londo and his wives*/Delenn getting…

He's not a very good speller.

Dwight Yoakam > 90% of charting country music in the past decade.

On the other hand, the actress playing Sun Lee is awful and her dialogue is barely passable. Really obvious black mark on the ep there.

I'm pretty sure that if any band other than R.E.M. had released it Monster would be somewhat fondly remembered. It's a decent album but not a very good R.E.M. album.

Lucky You as well. Actually the Deftones' post-Around the Furdiscography could probably be the soundtrack to alt rock stripper night with a few exceptions.

BAD MOOD WINE EGADS!*
And she falls around me…

I think 5 was where I stopped, but yeah that series was of great importance to me as a youngster.

I remember that the used CD store I frequented in high school had an entire drawer dedicated to discarded copies of this and R.E.M.'s Monster (about 2:1 in Bush's "favour" no less) so I'm guessing you weren't alone in that camp.

The Science of Things is actually my favorite Bush album on the whole. It's far from being great and barely even good but it's the one time that they seemed to be actively trying for something beyond mediocre.

I thought it was that they wanted to get "The Spread" out right next to "Our Gang" to better showcase Goggins so that the network's reservations about him could be squashed.

These guys next to me? They're asleep.

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Brilliant! I have no idea what's going on.
