That music is exactly why Jeff's interview at EW comes of as (to borrow a frequently-used Survivor term) disingenuous. "We really care about people and want to help them with their psychological issues" . . . . aaaaaand exploit them for all they're worth with overdramatic Wagnerian music and every clip of Brandon…

Completely my thoughts when they first announced the cast.

Perhaps I'm not giving Phillip enough credit, but I didn't feel bad for him at all. I think the reason why he handled that particular confrontation so well is because he lacks the self-awareness to accept what Brandon was saying as something that could be true. When Brandon was going off on him, I don't think he was…

They've had "fruitless hunting for the idol" scenes in the past. They tend to be very, very slow episodes.

I thought Monroe's best line was the simple, plaintive "Why?" when Nick explained that his mother had killed Adalind's mother.

You can watch Beck in its entirety - subbed or dubbed - on Funimation's YouTube site. http://www.youtube.com/play…

You're welcome!

If you watched seasons 2 and 3 (or just three if that's still too much) of Buffy (and then a select few episodes from the remaining seasons if you care to know what happened to the characters), then I'd say you watched the best of the series.

Good point, Mitchy and I guess I should have qualified my response a bit. I didn't take cable shows into consideration at all - I'm mostly thinking about American network television (being that Elementary is a network show). For the most part, I think there's still a tendency to sand down the edges of American network…

No trouble at all. And I think it gives you a greater appreciation and patience for Classic Who when you go back and watch them in retrospect.

Pushing Daisies is only 22 episodes long and really worth it (if you have a decent tolerance of whimsy). The only season of The Office U.S. you need to watch is season 2 (it will definitely wash the taste of the pilot out of your mouth if it's still lingering . . . ).

Thanks you two . . . . I've been 50/50 on whether to tackle Downton or Thrones once I've finished catching up on Parks & Rec (there's always something . . . .). Guess I'm going with Thrones.

"I don’t know if I entirely followed the logic at times, at least
in terms of who worked for who or why during the various investigations."

I wonder what percentage of that punch was anger at the loss of trust and what percentage was fear that, with "M" at large, it will likely happen again?

That's one of the things that, to me, marks Sherlock as British and Elementary as American: the British aren't afraid of making their protagonists fairly prickish, while American protagonists tend to be a little more sympatheic and relatable. (See also David Brent vs. Michael Scott).

Supernatural. Good lord, there is a lot of Supernatural. And the never ending question: "Why haven't you watched Supernatural yet?"  BECAUSE THERE IS AN AWFUL LOT OF SUPERNATURAL.

It takes a special kind of genius (and nerve) to write a book that length and have the entire thing unreadable.

The pilot itself is a tremendous hook. I couldn't not watch Lost after the pilot.

Hearing the name made my eyebrow lift reflexively, for sure. I am also curious as to the choice. Was it supposed to be a terrible Canadian in-joke? (As in "Har, har, WE know what it means but THEY won't know what it means!") Tribute? Perhaps they're leaning on precedent, like naming planets after well-known towns &…
