So I can shoot up somebody's place, break into it and still claim self defense? What is this, Florida?

I wish I still had Fuse just for that glorious program.

What else hasn't been new? This is the first rerun I've come up against in my M-W viewing schedule so I'll be 13 for 14 (good grief that is too many shows for three days). The next sports thing is the NCAA basketball tournament and that'll mostly be either random cable networks or weekends and I'm not sure how much…

If I'm not mistaken he did quickly utter "MacBeth" right after "The Scottish Play" and right before his explanation of why he didn't come right out and say it. It was really fast and kind of under his breath, but if he hadn't, I imagine he'd have gotten the ol' "More specific."

I doubt Marvel will be inclined to position its comics arm to support any movie franchise they aren't making themselves.

Daly is Chocolate Pudding. He mentions (and briefly voices) him in the Fogelnest Files episode.

I run neutral to negative on U2 (exception: Sunday Bloody Sunday), so I love the off-topic stuff. Looking forward to Wittels next episode.

Speakeasy with Paul F Tompkins

I enjoyed Gil and Golly. I even liked making him a mutual acquaintance of Cactus Tony. It wasn't until the very end that I wasn't on board when it became a way-too-literal battle of good and evil. Making Don Dimello the ultimate evil flattens him (though Andy's reaction to that being the reason he doesn't die through…

I know they're referencing the unrelated book their show is based on, but if I were them I'd try not to bring attention to that title.

I like how Resurrection insists it's not The Returned, and then the slogan is "What if someone you lost (dramatic pause) RETURNED??"

Sweet Frasier Money is my rap name.

At this point, I want the series to end not because I don't enjoy it any more (I do enjoy it), but so Leslie can move onward and upward in her career. The other option is to advance her within Pawnee but they've closed that door at this time and even if they hadn't, it would be hard to do without repeating the…

Twelve Years An Intern

The problem isn't that the movie portrays those places as being racist. The problem is that the movie portrays those places in a slightly racist way.

The Lexicon Valley podcast did an episode about "dude" that included the Yankee Doodle Dandy connection: http://www.slate.com/articl…

However, it's really groanworthy that their memory wipe cover story is also the secret project's name. It's like overlaying Project Manhattan memories with bartending school. …Actually, that's much better. This was just dumb.

It's like Spock said, the needs of the pretty outweigh the needs of the strangers.

It's a comedy, but Bays & Thomas clearly have gotten it in their heads along the way that they're great dramatists as well and that the best endings are emotionally manipulative gut-punches. The ones in the early years were effective and sparingly used (e.g. season one finale), but they come more and more often in…

They should try to buy the Hero Dog Awards away from Hallmark.
