On the other hand, they were both fantastic in Gone Baby Gone Girl.

Seconded!

Orphan Black started its third season on Saturday, so all in all it was a pretty good weekend. Except for getting a text last night from a guy I'd gone on a couple of dates with saying he'd prefer to just be friends, that sucked.

Yeah, early on I thought they might become this season's Brooke and Robbie, but I can't remember why I thought that. They're fun to watch. I was also surprised at how disappointed I was to see Jeff and Jackie go home last week, it was kind of endearing how much she was into him and how quickly they were able to get…

Is anyone doing recaps/discussions on The Amazing Race in the comment sections? Where do those normally take place? I really enjoy watching it and it's so much more fun to talk about it afterwards.

No "it's about ethics in journalism" comments?

Dang it, looks like I was one short. I missed that the Russian empress question was a Before & After.

I heard about it from either WOT or TI yesterday (thanks AV Club!) and signed up for last night. I wasn't counting but I think I did pretty well, fairly certain I got over 35 right. Some were surprisingly easy.

Yeah, it's hard not to have a lot of thoughts on the love triangle when it was so central to her story! At least they were consistent there…but it got repetitive after a while. I think my biggest problem with it, other than the way it seemed to define Kate's story, was how the writers made Kate's history with Sawyer…

It was probably a good idea not to kill off Jack in the pilot like the creators originally intended, but Kate would have been a much better character if they had actually allowed her to be a leader and struggle with the same problems Jack had as leader. The Kate we got, with her ridiculous "tracking" skills and…

Claire was a frustrating character who was never developed really well (and I hated how the writers basically ignored her in the sixth season) but I really like Emilie de Ravin and I agree that she did a great job selling the emotion in this episode. Also, I only made this connection from reading the review, but I…

I've been waking up early this week, and I actually managed before work today to wash some of the dishes that have been sitting in my sink for…ehm, a week or more. This gives me motivation to finish the rest of them when I get home.

In a less cool story that I'm going to tack on because I feel like "celebrities buying tickets to movies" is an interesting enough topic to be its own thread, my brother sold a ticket for Dancer in the Dark to Kyle Chandler at an art-house theater in Chicago. That was back when he was primarily known for Early Edition…

You called it! I completely missed the *two* passports (too distracted thinking about poor Mikey) and the cut from her phone call to the park bench scene.

…Wow.

It is; I'm assuming that's the correct name, I got it off of a recap on the Washington Post blog. (I would link it here, but I'm not clear on whether links still cause comments to be flagged automatically.) I heard "Huck" something but it was hard to make out.

Yeah, I don't know much about guns so I didn't understand that part very well. I think you're right, but it left me with the impression that this requires him to pull the trigger twice in order to actually shoot anyone, which would give someone like Raylan enough time to shoot him even if Boon is faster on the draw. …

I really want to see this happen now.

While trying to figure out who Ava was leaving a message for last week, I speculated that perhaps she and Boyd planned her double-cross together as a way to get her out from under the marshals, which would be an awesome twist, but also a very unreliable plan (how would he be sure of recovering and escaping?). So I…
