"The first, from Nathaniel Rogers, is one I actually agree with in some respects."
Why in Hodor's name would you agree with someone whose favorite character in the books is Catelyn? About anything?

A couple of points
1. "19:19 is based on the infamous Chowchilla bus kidnapping:

Actually, "Best 80s TV Theme Songs" would be a pretty good Inventory.

It's worth noting that Tony curb-stomps a guy for harassing Meadow in the last season, and I don't think it's merely out of wounded pride.

Why don't we just wait here for a little while… see what happens…

While Network is certainly great, I suspect many people think of it more of a Paddy Chayefsky movie than a Lumet one.

***Knock knock***
Candygram.

Wait, are we sure he didn't sleep with Carol? Because they cut from the two of them in her hotel room to the two of them in the car, and she says something like, "We had fun, didn't we?" Or perhaps it's supposed to be ambiguous whether they slept together. Or perhaps I'm just too stupid to understand what actually…

Yeah, part of the show's charm is the way it walks right up to the edge of Archer being a completely unlikeable dickhole without ever tipping over it.

So her tits were indeed, ineffable.

Watching Zodiac again recently, something occurred to me: it's a comedy. Seriously: the banter between Edwards/Ruffalo and Gyllenhaal/Downey Jr., the panicked reaction of Gyllenhaal when he goes into that guy's basement, Brian Cox's hilariously pompous Melvin Belli, Jr. It's also creepy as hell, to be sure, but Zodiac…

The old con was played by Scott Wilson, who has indeed been in a whole lot of things, but who I always remember for playing one of the killers in "In Cold Blood."

Meeker in Kiss Me Deadly is one of the most repulsive protagonists I've ever seen on film. I can't think of another actor who tried so hard to make the audience hate the ostensible hero of the story. Just one of the many reasons that movie is so awesome.

Quintessential Character Actor Faceoff
J.K. Simmons vs. J.T. Walsh.

He was super creepy in Red Riding: 1974.

My problem with Season 2 then and now is how quickly they tried to change the focus of the show. On the whole, I really enjoy the way it fleshed out the Millennium Group (I particularly liked the "Owls and Roosters" mini-arc), but Wong and Morgan piled on the changes so fast, it was a bit disorienting. I understand…

Anyone remember the short-lived "EZ Streets" from back in the 90s? It was sort of like a Wire/Sopranos thing that was ahead of its time, and on network TV to boot, and thus was doomed. Anyway, Starr was on that, and he was great.

Field Trip and Monday are quite good, yes, but I'm going to vote for "The Pine Bluff Variant" as Shiban's best. It's one of the few non-paranormal X-Files episodes, so make of that what you will.

"You're getting old."

Most badass Skinner moment: in Endgame, he gets in a brutal fistfight with X to learn Mulder's location. When he shows up all bloodied to tell Scully where Mulder is, Scully asks him how he found this out.
