Tony the Trans Clone was so fucking Canadian. Such a Plains hoser.

SF isn't always cursed. X-Files, Lost, Buffy, Futurama and Battlestar Galactica were all popular and critically praised, even if the Emmys never cared much for them. Hannibal, Orphan Black and Game of Thrones are all doing well right now. Moreover, The 100 is a poor comparison because it's still a fairly new show. Mad…

It also means that it doesn't have the promotional muscle of an American-back show or that tint of class of a British show.

Right. Prestige shows are the movies that come out in the Fall and are instantly mentioned as Oscar contenders, while the decent, non-presumptuous shows (I think we're going to need a caption contest for renaming this thing) are the good movies that might end up on "Best of" lists but not get any award attention.

I think a big change is that the old versions of this type were all case of the week procedurals where character and actors were rather unimportant (Law and Order being the best example), while the newer versions have embraced the long form storytelling that used to be just prestige. While a lot of the shows on other…

At first I was with Beema, but I think this is pretty convincing. After all, Buffy ran on the CW's ancestral networks and is definitely considered to be prestige.

I'd take Melissa McCarthy over Rebel Wilson.

As an ape—the same as you—I'm most definitely not a monkey. Or did everyone except me get a fucking tail?

He also has the best bands and lets them perfom however they want to.

Oh dear. That's awful.

Wait, you think it's ok to feed the trolls if you're bored? That's fucked up.

yeah, wouldn't be shocked if Adam came back. Next week's looks like one of those wild cards where anyone can get eliminated.

If it was just four judges, sure, go for the heart. If you're also trying to place it on a menu, uhhhhh, maybe not.

Katsuji should have a really nice, simple presentation and then put the beet puree in a (very small) cup, which the diners then dump all over the food.

Fuckin' A to Jodorowsky's Dune. I barely even drink but I had an experience or something watching that movie.

Use the clues from context….
