I don't need to clarify anything; saying a piece of work moved you but wasn't art is inherently contradictory. That's why it doesn't compute. Sorry if you read a ton of weird inflection into that which wasn't intended.

Maybe she's afraid of being exposed but 1) she didn't have to expose herself in order to advise Major that zombies did in fact exist and 2) she invariably chooses based on her own willingness to be exposed; never willing to sacrifice anything. Even giving up her relationship was hardly altruisitic since she never…

I realize the phrase "go Rambo" is one that's meant to evoke a certain level of special forces competence but let's not forget that the bad guys in First Blood were civilians and that's really the more apt parallel here. I'm not saying that you are per se wrong here I just don't think you're giving enough credit to…

Our FDA is pretty good but the labeling requirements on alcohol and alcoholic beverages is an area where we are certainly lagging behind.

Better, overall. The mystery is what elevated the show in my opinion. It allows the audience to experience the same sense of wonder that the characters are meant to experience without needing to dramatize and explain techy jargony stuff in order to drive the drama. The resolution of the Rambaldi mysteries leaves…

If we get right down to brass tacks Walt being taller and older in his projection is strictly a function of how the actor aged (and aged FAST). This was merely lampshaded in the show and I don't think it was meant to signify anything greater.

The fact that "insight to the human condition" or "analysis of a particular topic" are ones that do not have to be covered by dramatic narrative I can affirmatively say that no these are not fundamental aspects of artwork. Read THE HERO WITH A THOUSAND FACES and you'll be treated to some of the deepest insights to…

Emotional reactions are the goal of art. If art made you feel something then it's good, full stop.

Arguing over ratings is really fucking weird and I'm just not even going to try anymore.

Nah BSG season 2 part 2 where we find out Gaius Baltar has won the election and they settle on New Caprica is way out in front. The discovery of a destroyed Earth is shocking but doesn't promise significant change in the way that season 2's finale did.

This is a weird characterization that works very hard to ignore any sort of context for the ratings such as the late air date, the competition, the comparison to YOY ratings, and the lack of time-adjusted figures (as of the time of this writing). That also ignores that iZombie was far and away the best rated…

I just thought he was so drunk that he said it reflexively; the sight of his father's "ghost" earlier would just as easily prime him for such a reflexive statement regardless of what he literally believes.

One of the more telegraphed twists in television history. It's shocking but much of that is thanks to the brutality on display.

Did you say the finale made you cry and then said it wasn't a great episode?

Well .. tense. The show did have a lot of tension.

A lot of time all it takes is adjusting your perspective.

I'm sorry that you hate entertainment.

It's not like they ran out of cocaine; there's still plenty out there for George.

LOST is far and away the greatest show of all time. People who think the ending was fucked up are simply wrong.
