They're putting out a soundtrack?

It's a pretty bad sign when the company does almost no hands-on previews prior to launch (especially for such a notable franchise) and doesn't send out advance review copies.

It's kind of sad when the formula for a show becomes that simple. Did you hear more interesting lines from them in the last 45 minutes than you've heard all season? See ya!

I feel really dumb that I'm not getting the reference either…Anyone wanna help a brother out?

If they kill Augustine, Theo Tonin is going to come down on them even harder. That's his right-hand man, and Theo Tonin talks to an ear. Not a dude to fuck with.

Graham Yost kind of touched on this in one of those EW follow-ups. He said Boyd's thinking was, Colt didn't intentionally do anything to hurt Boyd.

Maybe the deal was Theo Tonin's guys would leave a briefcase or something with the money, and when they flew off Colt could come back to get it?

*** "Ya tenga" is what Archer said, meaning "I already have…"

I'm with you, I saw this trailer once, thought it looked really stupid, but had it in my back "Hope it's better than it looks!" pocket for when it came out, just because the cast could be fun.

It wants soooo badly to be good though. It's like they were given a checklist of things that great dramas have and included them all as generically as possible.

That was my beef too, to a tee.

@Scrawler2:disqus The sound mixing in the credits bothers me too. The line where Saul goes, "What the fuck are you doing?" is so tinny, and almost hisses the whole time. Then Carrie saying she missed something sounds like they held a recorder up to the TV to get that bit of dialogue, then played it back for the…

My reaction after six episodes? The show would be much better if they focused on ONE thing.

I liked the idea, but didn't like the execution.

In the case of C. Farrell v J. Franco, it appears the AV Club jury has spoken.

To Colin Farrell's credit, his performance in "In Bruges" is better than anything Franco has ever done. But yeah, he doesn't have the chops to hold a movie together just by his own sheer will and talent.

What tipped me off to the Soviets being behind the kidnapping (it did take me probably 10 minutes though) was the fact that Beeman (is that how you spell his name?) and the FBI guys - who are CLEARLY involved in those whole Soviet spy project, weren't talking about it at all in their scenes. They were worried about…

Just a hint o' pedo.

This is kind of my favorite underrated thing about the first season of The Wire. And I enjoy seeing it here too.
