I've been telling people this for years. Celebrating Christmas is the most pagan thing you can do, but the irony is lost on most people.

The Ghost Writer was overrated. I suppose extremely British political intrigue (as it were) isn't really my thing, but that was some of the weakest suspense I've ever seen. Unless it was supposed to be a dry comedy, you can never tell with the Brits.

Of season 5, that is.

I could do without the first half, but the conclusion of Londo's arc makes it all worth it.

Because impressionable 7th and 8th graders are also your target audience?

Except it's just NG (New Girl); there's no definitive article.

I just came to say I appreciated the shout out to B5 by the reviewer. It also will forever define sci-fi epic for me as well.

But that's another issue: since not all supernaturals are bad, and a Grimm's only power is to see who's supernatural, what good is his power if he doesn't immediatly go to the book to see how "those people" generally act? Even if some are good, doesn't the show require him to first always proceed by sterotyping?…

Since a Grimm's only power is seeing the true form of people, and then assuming they must be involved somehow, from a certain perspective this is Racial Profiling: The Series. Remember the line used while waiting for the bee guy to inform the queen? "He can't help it, it's in his nature."

Given that it still takes three of them chanting to do anything significant, and that it didn't take Faye much effort to summon a whole storm by herself, her parentage should have been called into question earlier.

If Ann won, so can Allison. Even with her gorgeous eyes closed she still impressed the panel and the photographer, and seems the most mature and dignified of all the girls. She may not make for wacky reality TV hijinks, but she can certainly do the job. I also think she's more artistic as well, and I'm willing to bet…

Now I have an image of a little girl crying tears of sadness and horror for an hour while the dad sits by her on the couch just eating chips, remote in hand. "We can watch the fun dinosaur show later, hon. Now hush, I bet this zombie's gonna tear in half."

A maintenance hatch that only a little girl can fit into? Terra Nova is a colony apparently built exclusively for child and/or dwarf workers.

It's not so much changing her back story as needlessly fleshing it out; she had to survive somehow post-runaway, pre-dwarves, right? Once the "dwarves" do show up, expect there to be a more story-altering twist, for example: the "dwarves" aren't small, and instead of Grumpy they apparently have Drunky (or Leroy…

Yes, the underwear shoot is next episode, and there will be issues. Remember, though, she's fine with bathing suits, even preferring smaller bikinis to lacy boyshorts.

I love everything about Allison.. but her video or singing didn't strike me as that great (and why was her video so washed out?). And it goes without saying that Tyra's outfit, little friend, and insultingly dumb catchphrase ruined the chance of any of the videos actually being good, but on Allison's the clash was…

Even funnier still, the teams only served 10 dishes total; was she expecting someone to give her multiple foodgasms?

Than I hope you saw the Chopped All-Star judges showdown—good stuff.

I really enjoy the face-off aspect to the elimination; it basically means, whatever show-based shenanigans put someone in the bottom, they always have the chance to cook their way to safety, which is only fair.

You're way too hard on the kid. He's okay. Certainly not the horror you seem to think. And the old witch probably was from H&G, but they didn't need to bring on Emma Caulfield until it's time to show her Storybrook form.
