Maggie's unhappiness with the gang's willingness to send Glenn into harm's way has been well established, and fully in character. It's not that she totally dismissed what her father did in disappearing; he'd never done it before so she didn't know how to process it.
The thuddingly awful bit was having her be the one to…

My wife was *SO* pissed when the preview was delayed. It's a ritualized part of watching the whole show, like the trailer bit on NBC's Thursdays shows or Your Moment of Zen on "The Daily Show." We paused the DVR so we could fast forward past Kevin Smith masturbating all over his comic book store. (I know there is a…

Strictly speaking, we didn't see them go behind the bar and verify that he's actually dead like they did the fat guy. They were conspicuous enough in not doing so that I have better than even odds that he's not quite dead yet (he's feeling much better, really).

I so wanted Donal Logue to be the other guy in that scene as I was watching it, though I've never seen him do "menace" like that. He's definitely over on the "affable" end of the fat guy scale.

My favorite part of the zombie apocalypse is the rebuilding society stuff, what kind of world do we want to create. "Walking Dead" is only tangentially interested in those questions; they are central to "Survivors." If you geek out over that stuff, too, definitely check it out. Sadly, it got cancelled prematurely, so…

There's a great scene early in the UK update "Survivors" (in which 99% of the world's population dies over the course of a few weeks, now what do we do?).  Two people driving down the road almost collide. They jump out of their cars yelling and arguing, then just stop and laugh at the absurdity of almost hitting…

I guess I'd read it that Spinnetod are a specific kind of spider Vassen. Most, like her husband,  don't need to feed in that ritualized formula. There was also strong suggestions that it is gender-based. That is, the females need to feed in that pattern, the males don't.

I DVR them both and watch them on my graduate student wife's leisure…

Look, you confused? You need guidance? Talk to another writer.
Who?

Agent Broyles: I have neither watched not read "Human Target," so I don't have a clue what you're talking about, heh.

Perhaps the Red Westfield is frozen in amber. Their Fringe team only got close enough to see something going on but never entered the town and just slammed the door shut. Maybe that's why Olivia got a bit weird for a bit, because Fauxlivia was close by, but got better once Red Westfield was shut down and Faulivia went…

Twice before, actually. Perhaps Anna Torv doesn't mind Mark Valley being forgotten…

It was fun following the people trying to figure out the glyphs in the early episodes. At first a simple substitution code was ruled out because there weren't very many glyphs (but not enough episodes to work from). Then someone figured out that the position of the dot was part of the glyph and it was just a matter of…

I have to choose?

My wife suddenly needed to tell me a long story about her day just into the opening credits, so I had a closeup of the six-fingered hand frozen on the TV through the whole story. Then to have it be so much like an X-File bottle episode, it made me feel 25 again.

The Lonnie Smith of the NBA.

@avclub-e77c7b588569860fddcbe6e3d528295d:disqus That's why Misfits is awesome.

What does Spaced have to do with this? Obviously something they'd have fun riffing on, but predetermining suckiness, etc?

That forehead is the spitting image.

How come nobody remembers Exit 57? Stephen Colbert and Amy Sedaris. Mitch Rouse is a reliable "that guy" actor. I guess technically two seasons, but only 12 episodes…
