Your friend makes me despair for humanity.

In the immortal words of Gaston Bullock Means, the best indicator of future behavior is past behavior. This is why I have little doubt that BE will stick the landing. Every year it seems as though it is juggling so many balls that it may fumble, and every year it wraps up in style with some of the best finales in the…

I'd bet a pretty large chunk of change that however disconnected Gillian's story is now, by the end it'll tie into Nuck's at least in a major way. For three reasons: that's how Boardwalk rolls—following disparate threads that suddenly collide toward the end in a glorius multi-arc pileup; it's the last season, and…

Yeah, it is absolutely the worst series of a serial drama I've ever seen.
Granted, I've never seen Dexter and only watched the finale of the last season of True Blood, but regardless, it sucked and the drop in quality from asylum was astounding.

Can't be worse than the wretched Coven.

While I don't want aliens anywhere near Boardwalk, I'll agree that if such a scenario occurred my "Mickey Triumphant" ending is how things would play out.

From your description it sounds like it made no sense in the books, either.

It got D- instead of F because it was bookended by a new Boardwalk trailer.

Agree wholeheartedly—except then you're left with the unexplained flashfowards with the gun and ricin. Those two teasers were a great way to build anticipation, but I think they really boxed Gilligan into a corner in the end.

Considering True Blood just got worse and worse over the years whereas Boardwalk has gotten better and better, I think we'll avoid another such catastrophe. Plus these things always happen in threes, right? Not fours? Right TV gods ?! Please!?

Of course you're right about those 15 minutes, but it's kind of a pet peeve that some people act as though they are all that is remarkable about the finale. In fact I spent the entire last three episodes with snot and tears running down my face, and had the series ended with the toast it would still be a hell of a…

Very powerful moment even in a montage full of them.

Coming soon: Batman vs. Doctor Narcisse.

I'd say the Clayface makeup counts as costumed, though

I think Dr. Death actually predates Strange by an issue or two.

You have every right to believe that, but it ignores the myriad other ways the government regulates employer-employee relations and has for decades at least. You really expect me to acknowledge your Randian fantasy as some sort of immutable a priori principle? Still, at least you implicitly acknowledge (via your goal…

I would think that the fact that it's not tolerated there (which I hope you know doesn't at all mean that it doesn't exist) is the source of much of whatever drama it manages to produce.

I don't have a dog in this fight (Middle Easterners traditionally were classified as Caucasians, but it would have been nice to give the lead in a high-profile prestige drama about an Arab to an actual Arab actor) but what in holy hell President Obama's ethnic makeup has to do with this argument is a complete mystery.

Benefits such as health insurance are the same as salaries. Should your employer be able to tell you you're not allowed to purchase "abortion drugs" (lol) with the money you earned in his employ?

Yeah, I'm from Mississippi and the PC conservatives here get REALLY hot and bothered at any discussion or dramatization of the lynchings and other atrocities in our recent history.
