Arrested Development picked up a nomination for Jason Batemen.

Molly Shannon was also nominated for Enlightened (though I am not sure if you've seen her episode yet).

The snubbing of Tatiana Maslany has filled me with rage. The nomination of Laura Dern has filled me with joy. The nominations for The Newsroom and House of Cards filled me with rage… again.

Alison and Felix is just found gold. Its hilarious because there's just as much difference between Felix and Alison as Alison and Sarah, and yet she almost immediately bonds with him while she's still somewhat harsh and distant towards Sarah. If I had to wager, she sees all of her flaws and self-doubts in Sarah, while…

What I like about it is that the bunch of quirky outsiders are all women, and all sort of the same woman. I guess you could throw Felix in as well, but core of the show is really Sarah, Alison, and Cosima. That's what makes it so fascinating. I would even say that Sarah is only the nominal lead by the end of the…

If we took the scripts exactly as written, and flipped the genders so Sarah, Allison, Cosima, and Delphine were male while Paul and Donnie were female, it would be a fascinating and sociologically groundbreaking show for entirely different reasons. But I do not think that show would ever get made. For the exact same…

Tatiana Maslany is… ORPHAN BLACK!

Sorry, dudes, it's all about Alison.

It could work with male clones, but I don't think it would be as effective. Sarah's pretty far outside of the alpha-dog/dick-measuring/anti-hero mold, which is exactly what I think her part would be reduced to if it were written for a man. And I don't even know how someone could translate Alison into male. Certainly…

No. Either the Art Museum or the Museum of Natural History. Either way it would be driving in an air conditioned car to an air conditioned museum, and then to an air conditioned restaurant, before driving back home.

So, I am at my parent's house. It is reminding me why I never visit these people. Actual conversation today:

Severely-reduced pay all around!

Hey look! It's everything I hate about being forced to view Twitter trending topics all rolled into one:

I will be disappointed if it isn't "2 Shark 2 Nado"

Transformers 2? Yeah, there is zero effort at coherency.

Also,…

Life can get pretty harsh for Sparty. But the show itself never devolves into Misery Porn. No matter how bad things get for Sparty, the show always have Romans whooping it up with parties and orgies. Illythia is, for example, nothing but fun, even when she's being pure evil.

Man, this is a crazy episode. Apparently Stephen DeKnight still gets hate mail over Varro's death. But this sets up the fact that Spartacus doesn't play safe. Characters are cruelly and viciously cut down, and at surprising moments. That's what stings about this episode. Up until Varro's death, nothing about it seems…

Off topic! I dare you to write a review of "Who Pooped the Bed?"

Sharknado is amazing. That scene where they can't find the shark in the living room, even though there is, at most, a foot of water, AND IT IS A FUCKING LIVING ROOM, is just the best thing ever.
