I hope there are no horses involved.

Well, I'd like to hijack the review and ask for recommendations of contemporary prog done right - and by right I mean no abstract noises and pussyfooting. Just a bunch of really competent musicians rocking hard in complex meters. They can be as pretentious and jamm-y as they want as long as they provide the goods…

I will watch this for Allison Williams.

Do you Americans realize how crazy your country is?

This sounds like that Dandy Warhols song:

She looks and sounds like a character out of American Psycho. An Ambien princess.

Heller, are you going to cover Koloss next month or in April?

My bad. I saw that the first episode of the new season was available and I assumed the worst. I apologize profusely.

I am going to hijack this review and express my deep disappointment that after one and half seasons for pure pulpy fun, the A.V. club still isn't covering Spartacus (to the best of my knowledge).

Jessica Barden was similarly the best part of Tamar Drewe.

OK,  so what did you guys think about the Sherlock premiere?

What THE FUCK was that?!

I thought we were using "pop" as a catchall term for popular music.

Well, he did have an affair with his Jewish student Hanna Arendt. There's a play based on the affair but no movie, because, is there really a market for a sex scene between Heidegger and Arendt?

That's a very nice theory, but it doesn't hold up to reality. Recent studies show that young Israelis are less tolerant and more racist. If once we were prone to "shoot and cry", younger Israelis, the ones who fought through the second Intifada, the second Lebanon war and Cast Lead, have dropped the "cry" part…

Since when pop singers who are good at their job are "amazingly talented"? it's like saying that the guy who fixed your cable is "amazingly talented" at fixin' cable. Adele is very good at what she does, but there is absolutely nothing amazing about her music. Keith Jarrett is amazingly talented; Adele is a good…

Well, in light of Todd's insistence on defending the show like an aging Stalinist, at least we know he is a tits man.

So, when are you guys going to cover Chemistry?

Sacred Games is one of the best novels of the last decade. The Wire meets The Godfather in technicolor Mumbai. I'm really upset that Chandra is pulling a GRRM and hasn't publish anything since.

…Fascinating creatures, though. Looks like a lady, but really it's a man. I don't find them attractive, it's just confusing…
