Biggest disappointment: the guy in the red parka was Rosita's aesthetician. No more makeup, lip gloss, hoop earrings and cute Banana Republic shorts, alas! Where have the sexy pony tails gone?

Loving the Stooges-style physcial humor this season. The satisfying smack that Cyril got as his evil plan backfired was awesome. They started it at the tail end of last season and have been fine tuning it since. Didn't like the face-slapping thing that maybe funny once and then over used, but they've been getting

Yes, it seems pretty obvious that as a biological weapon, the alien is rather difficult to aim. Not too accurate, that. I can see it's enigmatic use by the Engineers who, for reasons frustratingly unrevealed, find it necessary to wipe out entire civilizations.

Yes, good point. Predators gotta hunt, that is what made them unique. They did try to mix it up a bit w/ the factional fighting in the last one - Predators. That one wasn't great but it wasn't as bad as the AvP flicks.

The thing that irks me about all these sequels is the lack of imagination:
1. Predator was a hunter in the first movie thus all Predators must be hunters
2. The Alien was mentioned once or twice as its possibility as a bio weapon thus its origin is going to be an adapting biological agent.

Hey now, those new Dune novels worked out really well.

"You guys are so big picture!" Classic.

On that same note, Michonne expressed great relief after 20 min of brushing her teeth. Her teeth have been spectacular throughout the entire show. She's been spectacular through the whole show.

Any movie by Andrew Blake… but I'd probably go w/ the masterpiece: Blondes & Brunettes.

Don't forget "lame-brains."

Poor Tara, she's gay but no one remembers. She now holds the traveling trophy of TWD Character Development Neglect (lately handed off by Rosita). She was dating the female marine from Woodbury, if I remember correctly.

This episode gets a meh. A B+ is a bit high, B- probably.

Best actor material.

Yeah ok. You're making tactical decisions about a movie set. C'mon.

Exactly. Like it or not, soldiers are bound by their orders. They are trained to make their own decisions on whether or not those immediate orders are moral and/or break the laws of war. Things start to get shifty when soldiers start to decide what orders they are going to follow.

Update: Seth Rogen has released yet another tweet:

Yes, we were rebuilding infrastructure there. Soldiers died building infrastructure there. I was building infrastructure there. The only paved roads that exist in Afghanistan were built by the US. The Taliban don't even blow them up anymore because, by gum, roads are handy for them too.

That's a troll, don't bother w/ that guy.

Trust me, I'd rather all violence would stay on the silver screen, where the bad people get their comeuppance in the end. I saw American Sniper over the weekend and honestly, I didn't see much glorification there. There is no glory in shooting someone burying an IED. No glory watching a child approach soldiers with
