Great comment, but do you really think Bellamy was the best man for the job? It seems like of everyone possible Raven would be the best one to send in, even with the emotionally compromised state she's in. She and Monty could between the two of them probably accomplish anything tech/mech-related, and that's going to…

"14. Lee […] 16. Apollo" ???

Seeing how effects-heavy it is elicits the opposite reaction from me: I love that these worlds Anderson creates are complete fabrications. My favorite genre is science fiction/fantasy, and I love seeing a world built that doesn't (and can't) exist in our own reality. I think that's part of why his films can be so…

I've never been able to find the TV Tropes page that gets right to it, but the "your father is a really big jerk, but he's your father, so you should reconcile with him" trope makes me really crazy. People who are jerks and make your life miserable do not get to enjoy your unconditional love just because they were a…

Fair enough. How about Aisha Tyler? She already co-hosts her own show.

Jessica Williams.

I'm hella late to the discussion, but I just caught this on PBS. And yeah, the problem here is that they chose to adapt it faithfully. Like, you know how the new Miss Marples have been updating the stories to include LGB characters and make the stories a little more progressive? Halfway through this movie I was like,…

The only clue I've seen is hidden on the Almost Human official tumblr. There's a ~classified~ voice file you can listen to about a case with a DRN who sort of went vigilante. Like, they feel like the police aren't doing enough, so they sort of Batman it. I could see a government or police department having a major…

Bummed it's a Wednesday night. I'm up in Madison… if it were on a weekend, I'd probably make the trek down. (HINT HINT, YOU SHOULD COME DO ONE OF THESE IN YOUR REAL HOMETOWN, HINT HINT)

Huh, if Motel California was a top-tier TW episode for you, it's possible you just have starkly different criteria for what makes Teen Wolf good to you than the reviewer and most of the commenters here.

Not that everyone else hasn't already pointed out how ludicrous it is to call Sherlock "underrated", but it was literally just on this week's cover of Entertainment Weekly with the headline "MAD ABOUT SHERLOCK: HOW THE BRITISH CULT HIT STARRING BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH BECAME THE WHOLE WORLD'S CUP OF TEA."

I was spoiled for much of BSG (the first episode of BSG that I saw was the very last part of Daybreak, for example, and then I spent a little too much time on Wikipedia)… and while I wish I hadn't known about some stuff, I'm so glad I knew (MAJOR SPOILERS FOR BSG) that the Tighs were Cylons. Before the reveal I found…

Astonishingly, I did not see the twist in The Prestige coming. SPOILERS FOR THE PRESTIGE ENDING Watching it a second time it's amazing to me it wasn't stupendously obvious that that helper dude was Christian Bale in kind of terrible makeup, but I guess I was just so involved with the characters that I wasn't looking…

Oh, this is true. I just got a Samsung phone and haven't bothered putting music on it yet via iTunes because it's not super intuitive. So maybe as Apple loses market share elsewhere, it will lose market share in music too. Still, I probably will never buy digital music from Amazon again because of the massive screw-up…

The last time I bought digital music on Amazon, the download completely messed up for about 60% of the songs I bought and they never came through. To be fair, I didn't contact Amazon about it because I had gotten them for a massive discount to begin with ($1/album) and I feel like I pirate enough music that whatever.…

Also offering to stick his finger "somewhere else" other than John's coffee last week. Pretty hard to miss the homoerotic subtext (if you can even call it subtext) on this one.

A small side note, but I thought it's believable that soccer would become more popular here in the future for two reasons. 1) As live commercials during telecast become less important (bc right now everyone DVRs and fast forwards through them anyway), a game like soccer that allows for almost no commercial breaks…

I see your love triangle and raise you THREESOME.

While it's true Joel didn't join Fringe as a co-executive producer until the back half of season 1, the back half of season 1 is also when Fringe really took off. Orci, Kurtzman & Abrams created Fringe, yes, but it was a little lost those first 8-9 episodes, and it only got its footing around episode 1x13, in my…

As someone who (ahem) has been researching these issues for (ahem) some fanfiction I may or may not be writing, both actor Michael Ealy and writer Joel Wyman have spoken about this in interviews, sort of contradicting each other. Relevant quotes:
