Did that bird just say my name?

Yeah, but Nikki & Paolo got a centric episode and they had less screen time than Libby. And Ana Lucia got 2. Plus, the writers were always like, "We're going to explore Libby's backstory in season 3. Oh, wait, we're going to explore Libby's backstory in season 4. Oh, wait, we're lying liars." I just really like

Except I like Charlie. My hatred for Michael is hotter than a thousand suns.

Oh yeah. I've watched the crap out of that. I love Alias. I just finished all of Lost, I should go back and watch Alias. I think there was a discussion on the Lost comments a couple episodes ago. People seem to dislike season 3, but I really enjoy it. Season 4 is meh — too many stand-alone episodes for me, and

I also really like that nice little moment when Kate realizes she's in a food pantry and is all, "OMG, there's all this food whaaaaaaaat," and then takes a bite of an Apollo bar. And then pockets some more. I totally would have done that.

The third season premiere will always be #1 for me because of the amazing cold open and because it introduced Juliet, who quickly became (and still is) my favorite character. I dig quiet female badasses with suspicious and multi-layered agendas.

I downgrade the season because there's no. Effing. Libby. Centric. Episode. After all these years, that still makes me ever so angry.

"Adrift" is my absolute least favorite episode of Lost. Hands down. Michael is my least favorite character: At best, I found him a half-assed attempt at a "redemption" story in the later seasons and at worst, I found him completely hollow and worthless from the start. I never found him compelling and always sided

Fox just aired 3 new episodes of American Dad for a "micro-season." Will those be reviewed here? One of them guest-starred . . . *sigh* . . . Kim Kardashian.

I saw "Netflix" and "porn" and got really excited. Then I noticed the word "food" and lack of the word "gay" and now I am less excited.

I've loved The New Pornographers since I first heard "Twin Cinema" when it was released. But "Challengers" is my favorite New Pornographers album and includes my favorite songs by the group. "Brill Bruisers" has been hit or miss for me so far (I listen to "Champions of Red Wine" on repeat), but it's growing on me.

Oh crap, that's from season 11. I mixed up 13 and 11, my apologies! Season 11 is my least favorite.

I'm a Simpsons apologist — I can take the lesser seasons and still love them and don't follow the "I stopped after season whatever crowd." That said, I watched some of season 13 (ETA — I meant 11) this past weekend and man. I gotta say, it's probably the weakest of the entire series, in my opinion. "Kill the

I liked the first season of Modern Family, but then it just got repetitive: Person A from Couple 1, 2, 3, or 4 (etc.) is wacky, Person B is judgmental about said wackiness, something wacky happens that makes Person B just as wacky as Person A and everyone learns a "valuable lesson." And then someone gets into some

The only moment of "Whatever the Case May Be" that I find compelling is when Kate tells Jack that the toy airplane belonged to the man she killed, because Evangeline Lilly is great in that moment. But it would have been even more heartbreaking and mysterious if the bland bank robbery hadn't been shown. Or written,

"Do we think Kate is including Tom in the category of people she’s murdered?" I don't know if I'm on the same page as you, but she told Jack in "Whatever the Case May Be" that the toy airplane "belonged to the man [she] killed."

I think the subplot will involve him hurling rocks and racial epithets at black school children.

The laugh-track was, ultimately, the straw that broke the camel's back when it came to HIMYM for me. I never found the show to be very funny (at most, I'd elicit a very small chuckle from time-to-time) but the laugh-track's insistence that most of the dialogue/action *should be* funny was annoying. If the show had

I loved her right out of the gate. I don't know how Elizabeth Mitchell does it, but she can bring a whole bunch of mysteriousness with just a look or a glance.

Elizabeth Mitchell is a phenomenal actress. Juliet Burke is a phenomenal character. That's what I know to be true.
