Oh, Tahmoh Penikett was pretty good, too. I liked him.

He was in two episodes of The Walking Dead last season. One of the very few times since Dollhouse that he wasn't playing Russian or Eastern European of some sort. I'm convinced casting directors saw the first two episodes of Dollhouse and then, like most of America, stopped watching. And based their casting of him on…

Reed Diamond! He was also good. And Alan Tudyk. And Patton Oswalt. So many great performers in that show…

I'm gonna go with: "Slim Shady / Hotter than a set of twin babies / In a Mercedes / Benz when the temp goes up to the mid-80's"

Thank you!

So here's a question: If Gravity Falls is moving to Disney XD for the new episodes, why is my DVR, which is currently only set to record new episodes on Disney, ready to record the new episode on Disney tomorrow night?

Let's see, of the X-Books I'm currently reading:

Apparently they played here back in '03 or '04 but not since. On the other hand, they rarely do full-on US tours, anyway. Maybe that will change this fall.

Between this piece and the Kotaku article, not a single mention that Aeris' tragic mid-game death was directly "inspired" by the similarly wrenching mid-game death in Phantasy Star II years before.

Don Was made him stay on the drumset the whole time. Which, you know, might not have been a bad idea but seems kind of mean.

I miss getting to see Sloan at least once a year, which I did when I lived in the Detroit area. Now that I live in Houston, I haven't seen them for 8 years and I'll be shocked if they ever actually come down here (I mean, sure, Austin, maybe, but I don't get to make that 3-hour drive on a whim).

As long as Raimi and Tapert don't try to resurrect the first-run syndicated television market again with this, I'll be fine with it. They failed spectacularly with their Sword of Truth adaptation a few years back, and hopefully they learned some lessons.

You have to register for a Comic-Con press pass several months in advance, so maybe the AV Club doesn't have someone there after TVDW abruptly jumped ship?

Yeah, it was Sioux Falls, not Fargo, for Molly's dad.

I just finished the show last night after watching the whole thing over about two weeks, so I'm gonna have to vehemently disagree with you two. I'd say Fargo is my favorite show of the year thus far, just edging out Hannibal.

I'd be all about a second season that has Lou Solverson narrating the story of what happened in Sioux Falls in 1979.

I'll take that over him taking another whole year off. Also, maybe we won't have to sit through a 6 or 7-episode story arc next season.

Except some of his best songs are the few parodies where he actually is "skewering" or "ripping apart" the original song or artist: "Smells Like Nirvana", "Achy Breaky Song", "This Song's Just Six Words Long."

Rabin is probably so sad to not be working at the AV Club this week.

Filmage was a pretty great movie.
