Maybe this is reading a little too much into it, but Ryan leaves his bag on a chair when he leaves the house in the morning, and runs into Wilfred before he even gets to the bathroom at the school, even though Wilfred says he stole the bag while Ryan was in the bathroom. So Wilfred must have taken the bag before he…

Yeah, I'm reading these comments and I'm truly baffled about all the Moffat hate. I just binge-watched the entire new series over the course of a month, so I basically watched the show in a vacuum, and I have to say that I think that the show has been way better under Moffat's control. Russell T. Davies did a lot for…

I think we all keep forgetting that episode 8 ("The Mountain and the Viper") was clearly the best episode of the season. I think it's overshadowed by the big event at the end, but if you want to talk about thematic resonance, that episode was as clear and focused as they come: it's all about the absurdity and…

Nah, she's using "dad" like an adjective, like when people talk about "dad jokes" or "dad jeans." Except she wants the dad D.

Agreed. Jay's behavior in this episode was just awful. I know he's not a real person, but I expect some semblance of human behavior from sitcom characters. Jay has always been characterized as crotchety in some way, but never to the point where he's mean to his daughter simply because she worked extra hard in his…

This particular storyline was incredibly frustrating for me because I don't understand why, after years of being a couple and raising a daughter together, Mitch and Cam can't be honest with one another. I know it's a sitcom, and it's a classic sitcom storyline for one character to hide their true feelings from…

I stand (happily) corrected. Matt Berninger is the best.

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm pretty sure that line is actually, "Gonna jump out of a cake with my heart on a string." But hey, at least we'll always have, "It's a common fetish for a doting man to ballerina on the coffee table, cock in hand."

Well, it did a good job of setting a mood for sure, but what I mean is more literal: like imagine if True Blood were shot with grainy film cameras with ugly, authentic southern people (and I don't just mean physically ugly). Like if Gummo had a plot and vampires in it.

Every time I watch True Blood, I just find myself wishing it were made in the style of the intro. That sort of dirty, grainy, ugly aesthetic they have in the intro would be amazing for a Southern Gothic vampire story. Instead, it's just a campy romance show with occasional gore.

Narm!

Hm, maybe I'm not watching the right shows, but I can't even think of any TV storylines involving a character considering abortion. All the pregnancy storylines I can think of are late-season efforts from writers to inject new life into a show. Dexter, Weeds, Malcolm in the Middle, Parks and Recreation, Archer—it's…

Yeah, I was a little confused about the "convenient miscarriage" trope. I feel like I haven't seen a lot of miscarriages on TV, and certainly not nearly as many as full-term pregnancies. And honestly, I'd rather see a show deal with a miscarriage than watch the one billionth TV pregnancy storyline, which writers…

Well, to be fair, Rob Bell is one of the most prominent progressive Christian writers out there right now. I grew up in a Christian environment and Rob Bell was basically a celebrity at my school and church.

I've never been one to care much what awards shows choose to nominate, but damn, I was really hoping to see Allison Janney under Best Supporting Actress for her work on Masters of Sex. Her role is so small, but she brings so much depth to the character that she's become my #1 reason for watching that show at this…

These are genuinely really funny, but also kind of exhausting to watch. I enjoyed the Poehler video, but watching this one right after it was too much. It made me feel like I was the one out of breath and on cocaine.

Ahh, I didn't put that visual joke together. I got that Haley altered the original, but I thought she just scratched it off and re-wrote it or something.

I'm just waiting for Eric Stonestreet to show some skin. Come on bear-lovers, you know what I'm talkin' 'bout!

I was drunkenly talking shit about this show while watching
it by myself, so I decided to start typing. I didn’t edit this, so sorry if it’s
inaccurate and/or makes no sense.

It's a knee-jerk reaction to the brutality of the scene. It was clear that Robb's death was coming, and Catelyn's—while more surprising—is something most viewers could have taken in stride (like Ned's death) if it had happened more honorably. It's simply the cruelty of their deaths that is making people swear off the…
