What?! Observers? First People? You must be thinking of some other show. This show is about a wacky scientist putting his brain in a straight-laced FBI agent's head for no apparent reason so that everyone can turn into cartoons and rip off Hollywood action movies!

My opinion is the opposite of those offered above.

Well, That Happened.
I have gone on record as a non-fan of Bellivia. Or, rather, an avid hater of Bellivia. Someone who wishes this show's creators had for once employed a modicum of good taste when at last their ridiculous ideas eclipsed their talent. But the worst thing about tonight's episode wasn't that it…

Todd's absolutely right. The first few episodes of season 7 are good to great, but after "Conversations with Dead People" kicks off the main story arc, the rest of the season turns into absolute garbage. "Storyteller" is funny, but Andrew is a one-note character, and the "blood will open it; tears will close it"…

I've always thought Kyp was the more talented songwriter in the band, but here Tunde gets most of the best songs for the first time.

Agreed about a hundred times over. The central thematic triptych of "Second Song," "Killer Crane," and "Caffeinated Consciousness" deserves something like an A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++.

Dostoevsky has a sense of humor.

Best Album of 2011 (So Far)
Nine Types of Light is a call to arms to the human spirit. It's TVotR's visionary album, suffused with the light of an ideal world. It's also the first album on which Tunde Adebimpe's songwriting is in full bloom. This band can't stop making masterpieces.

I've listened to it about ten times now, and I think it's a near masterpiece, almost, but not quite, on par with Return to Cookie Mountain and Dear Science. It's the band's most cathartic album, and their most coherent thematic statement. It reminds me in a lot of ways of Abbey Road- not the band's best work, but its…

The Dark Knight of the Dead
Gordon: THEY'RE COMING TO GET YOU, BARBARA!
Barbara: *Screams as legs are pulled off*
*Batman sweeps in from above and begins slashing zombies with his razor gauntlets*
Gordon *In shock*: When there's no more room in Hell, there's always Gotham city.

"Seeing Red" couldn't possibly be the most controversial episode of any TV show in history: those of us who didn't watch Buffy at the time would have heard of it if it was! Maybe it was remarkably controversial within the show's own fan base, but outside that group, it didn't raise a peep.

My problems with Kennedy were simple:

The special quality in certain very bad films is difficult to express without sounding completely condescending, but when it's present, it's painfully obvious. Movies like The Room, Mac and Me, Troll 2, Batman and Robin, Showgirls, Fair Game, or Mitchell are objectively terrible- poorly directed, written, acted, shot,…

Thizzy, this is the greatest comment ever written on the internet.

As Long as We're on the Subject of Dada Horror…

Attendance at the ice-cream socials in the basement of the local Baptist church just shot up ten-fold!

NUDITY ON PRIME-TIME TELEVISION?!
WON'T SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE MORMONS?!

The flashbacks are consistently unrealistic. I assume this is because we see them through the eyes of a guy who habitually watches arthouse movies and spends his waking hours trying to inspire his own sense of nostalgia.

I studied marketing through four years of high school. There's nothing so benign about advertising as a simple desire to inform the public. Advertising's primary objective is to create want. This means convincing the prospective customer (or "consumer," an odious term in itself) that he or she is lacking some property…

I think advertising is disgusting on principle. But that doesn't make the series any less brilliant.
