Regardless of the material itself (which honestly sounds as if it's beyond my very limited time and tastes for television programs), these reviews were enjoyable in their own right. Acclaimed as this series is, I don't know if I'll ever get around to watching it. But that isn't necessary to get something out of these…

On behalf of everyone, Todd, thank you for what I can't believe was two and a half years of coverage - Sepinwall's coverage notwithstanding, this has been probably the best online criticism I've ever read (of ANYTHING). I have never seen this show, but that doesn't matter, because this body of work was absolutely…

Truth be told, I'm REALLY bad at keeping up with movies, appalling at keeping up with TV, and have pretty much no interest in theater or comics. So my geek obsession is basically music. And I have listened to exactly one album from this year. 2012 for me was a year of delving into the 60s and 70s and discovering their…

I'm a big believer in … I guess you'd call it egalitarian criticism? That is, judging a body of work by its worst part or section, since you can be sure everything else is even better. And if even that worst part is decent or redeeming, you know you have an all-time great on your hands. It seems that the Hobbit…

I keep going to that URL and sadly closing out once I realize I can't even complete half a "Best of" list because I've experienced so little of 2012 entertainment. The fact that people can have a somewhat comprehensive sample to pick from is astonishing. Rock on, you magnificent nerds!

Alright, Todd. You've done it. You've convinced me to watch the entire run of Buffy. 
Not that I was ever averse to the idea, but this article made it a way higher priority than it was before.

It's also apparently carnal while repelling one from all flesh. What??

That's weird that you mention that. I was just starting a conversation with my friend last night where I regrettably said I really didn't like The Princess Bride. It just hedges its bets SO much. The comedy is flat and polite, the fantasy is minor and pedestrian, the plot is disgustingly cliched and predictable, the…
