I thought it was kind of like the rules laid out at the very end of Lost (which ironically copied a lot from Last Crusade) — the keeper of the Grail probably gains an innate knowledge of the rules, and the power to set boundaries for its use. Indy only has the Grail for like five minutes, and he was in a rush to save…

It's always really bothered me that the 11th-century knight speaks a modern dialect of English with a British accent.

If it's someone who isn't dead in the comics, then there's a really small character universe.

The basic storyline was done in the comics, but it was much less melodramatic. The whole thing is pretty low-key, and not especially developed — the point of this brief storyline was to show that Carl is losing respect for human life, but the two brothers who wind up dead are basically redshirts. None of the…

Rick was only back in the prison for a very short time before the Governor attacked. It only seemed otherwise because we got two flashback episodes from the Governor's point-of-view in between. This choice caused a pretty serious problem, in my opinion, because it's pretty difficult to keep track of who knows what…

I agree. As much as I enjoy the coverage on this site, I find that there's a disconnect between how professional TV critics expect a show like this to handle really difficult subject matter, and how a mainstream audience is able to digest said subject matter.

Yeah, my on-and-off writing partner of over 20 years is Indian, and back in his younger days he was under enormous pressure from the program to peel off the genre facade and write from experience — i.e. write about nothing except being an Indian kid growing up in Queens. Because the minor cultural issues surrounding…

There's definitely a leap in pretentiousness when you get to post-undergrad writing workshops. In undergrad-level classes you get more diversity of experience and intent — some people are just there because they think it might be fun to write and discuss stories. But when you're taking on $35,000 in debt a year to…

Yeah, it was a great moment of symbolism. And Daryl and Beth sure seemed to have lots of visible light as they walked away from the house, because there were massive TV flood lights pointed at them.

How would anal entail less risk of zombie bites? If anything it would be more of a distraction.

The comics were a little ridiculous because everyone meets up within two issues of the prison battle, which would have been difficult to coordinate under the circumstances even if everyone had working smartphones. If they'd adapted that straight, they basically wouldn't have had any plot for this half of the season.

All of that stuff had been hinted at already. We already knew about Daryl's abusive relationships with his redneck father and brother, and that he's struggled with deep feelings of worthlessness and alienation as a result. Daryl told lots of stories about his family while he was looking for Sophia or whatever, and…

I do agree that people would have less sex in a world where any naked distraction increases the probability of being eaten by zombies, and where successful copulation means the woman will have to go through childbirth without adequate medical care, and where successful delivery means carrying around a living zombie…

And then there's the problem that any species with one remaining breeding pair is doomed to extinction. Noah's ark would require several dozen or hundred breeding pairs of each species in order to repopulate the earth.

Clearly this reviewer has never heard of spoiler tags.

SPOILER: Chandler Riggs will continue to age faster than the in-universe timeframe. The only solution is to kill off Carl, which is a place I don't think they're willing to go. The urgency of the show would be lost if they jumped ahead a year in between seasons and it would be too distracting if they recast with a…

Oh, you'll get no argument from me — Woody Allen is a creep. All these years later he fails to see why his relationship with Soon-Yi was and remains deeply inappropriate. He inflicted the kind of emotional violence on Mia Farrow and her kids that never heals, and at the very least we're seeing the whole family…

But the point here is that for Mia Farrow to even suggest that Frank *might* be Ronan's father is to admit that she was cheating on Woody Allen with her (71-year-old) ex-husband in 1987. I don't think it's possible for a woman to sue for child support in good faith when she knows for a fact that she was having…

Me from two years ago: What's a twerk?

Pretty sure Fox owns the rights to Galactus as part of their Fantastic Four deal, so no.
