I'm glad you clarified that, because I thought you were referring to RoboCop, the actual cyborg law enforcement officer who, to this day, patrols the crime-ridden streets of Detroit.

I have a deep, perhaps misguided, love for Cobra, as well.  It's so gleefully fascistic that I'm always fascinated by it, and I mean that sincerely.

I'm surprised more people haven't mentioned that.  A great, weird moment on this week's episode.

The Tritter storyline would have been great if they'd actually allowed it to go somewhere.  Had House been forced to work with a suspended medical license for a year, the writers would have had to work around the (already growing stale) formula and maybe we would have gotten more terrific episodes like, "Three…

At first I thought you were serious, but then you said Atlas Shrugged had a Christian message, which is so howlingly untrue that the rest can't possibly taken seriously.  Good play.

I'll add to your worries: Jon Spaihts.  He wrote The Darkest Hour, which was one of the stupidest movies of 2011.

I find the whole Prime Suspect/The Firm fiasco bitterly amusing.  While it wasn't the reinvention of the wheel, Prime Suspect was a solid show with a good cast that I liked watching.  I have zero interest in The Firm, and it looks like I'm not alone.

There was definitely a Jar moment in that episode when they were trying to force the turkey into the oven and Schmidt says, "We've all been there, am I right?"

Considering how bad that show got at the end, I shouldn't miss it as much as I do, and yet….

That's as may be, but when you're right, you're right.

It's especially frustrating when the reviewer clearly acknowledges Studi's other (apparently classier) work, but still gets the name wrong.  He knows the guy well enough to be aware of his career, but not well enough to spell the name correctly?

Good summation.  And don't forget the laugh line when Bohannan says of the Union a-hole's saber, "Well, I guess I'm gonna have to take it away from you and shove it up your ass, then."  I actually ran the video back so I could chuckle a second time.

If you were to go to Boy's Town in Nuevo Laredo, you'd find a whole lot of cribs where prostitutes do their business.  Not that I've spent a lot of time patronizing Mexican whores, but I was aware of the connotation of the word when it was used.  I'm not sure why anyone would be confused.

I don't feel liking something and thinking critically about that thing are mutually exclusive.  As others have said elsewhere in this thread, when these reviews basically become exercises in open contempt, it negates the entire purpose of having the recap/review in the first place.

Re: Hell On Wheels, if the guy recapping the series hates it so much, why not get someone who actually wants to watch it instead?  It seems kind of pointless to do otherwise.

As has been pointed out elsewhere, Card is a Mormon, not a Seventh-Day Adventist.  Both crazy, but in different ways.

The original has a guy kissing his daughter's vibrator.  I think I'll stick with the remake.

I was honestly surprised (and slightly disappointed) that he didn't take Toole's eye out with that jab, as that was my initial impression.  That Swede's a hard man.

Considering that the third book is really just the end of the second book, I'm not sure even 30% is enough to cut.  Certainly after all the product placement goes, plus pointless sidelines with characters who aren't even involved in the main plot, the two books could have been fused into one of about the length of the…

You're not the only one who couldn't figure out what it was.  I had to have it explained to me here.  At the time I just said to my wife, "Is that a stained-glass window?"  Clearly I'm slow on the uptake.
