proving that we all can overcome our comment names.

It's not my favorite part of the show, but definitely a positive for me. I especially liked the Roslin-Lee relationship (which was annoyingly forgotten about for large stretches) and Adama's influence on their relationship.

I still constantly listen to that. Other faves include Passacaglia/Shape of Things to Come/Allegro, and also Battle on the Asteroid, possibly because that celebrates one of the few pure battle victories.

Do perpetual lurkers who barely contribute to the community themselves and whom the other commenters in the thread have never heard of get to come? Just asking for a friend.

I saw this for the first time in elementary school, when the little video store that was about to go out of business had a 10-rentals-for-$10 deal. It was around my birthday and I got to pick out all of the videos, but my mom added Hard Days Night to the pile. I definitely didn't get all of the jokes but watched it…

That jumped out to me too - Arrow has better action sequences than any TV show I can think of off the top of my head, although Three Ghosts doesn't showcase it well.

No, you're absolutely right to be concerned about the stereotypical presentation. If those comments were coming from Darcy, for example, I'd be rolling my eyes. I also think the movie benefitted by showing that Steve is heavily affected by his romance, via his scene with Peggy (I may be biased here, I LOVE Peggy),…

Apologize for jumping in. I had a slightly different interpretation. I kind of thought that Natasha's matchmaking attempts were an effort to ensure that Steve didn't turn out like her, unable to have a personal life unadulterated by the spygames. I didn't see it as averting/subverting expectations of romance. So…

Nick and Nora were my first thought. Then Tim Riggins. Not together. Although maybe that would be even better.

(finale spoilers)

One of the many reasons I got hooked on FNL was the fact that the pilot made room for tiny, quiet, human moments. I'm thinking specifically of Matt's grandmother in her chair. That just grabbed hold of me.

I always liked the idea of Riggins but wasn't sure in the first few episodes if Taylor Kitsch could show as much depth as some of the other cast members. Boy, he proved me wrong. You could see him developing by the end of the first season and then just totally won me over. Even in the second season Riggins was one…

Yes, this, a million times yes. I am a sucker for shows that emphasize setting (see: Justified as another great example). FNL is so immersive. And I love that characters have a different view of the Dillon: Riggins knows nothing else and doesn't want anything else, Julie isn't enjoying the small town life, Tyra…

I think Stiles and Derek together draws out aspects of their characters that their interactions with Scott don't, and those dynamics are really rich for both comedy and drama. So I understand the annoyance but I hope they get more scenes next season.

I agree with everything you said except with respect to Allison. It would have been nice to get a funeral scene, but I can't see where they would have had time to give justice to one, other than a montage shot or something very short. I liked the way they went instead, with Chris coaching the kids how to cover up…

I agree wholeheartedly with this review (thanks for the excellent writeup!), especially regarding how frustrating the show can be and how entertaining it is despite its flaws. Dylan O'Brien has been fantastic, it's ridiculous.
Some praise for the story ideas for 3B: most of the elements of Stiles' storyline are…

My Old English class culminated in a five hour marathon reading of Beowulf supplemented by copious amounts of mead. Our pronounciation deteriorated pretty rapidly.

I don't think Tim is "Expository Clown Boy." I love Tim. Decoy is one of my favorite episodes for a reason. I'm not sure where you're getting that from, but to clarify: I like the collision of his and Raylan's world views and think that Tim is pretty distinct from the other characters, both in and out of the office…

That good hair comment was so spot on.

I agree with everything you said other than the fact that I would argue that Ava is also a well developed female character alongside Mags.
I understand that minor characters are sometimes fan favorites because they work well in small doses. But with Rachel and Tim, I have every confidence that they would be really…
