In bizarro world, it's both.

He ran away, just like Jim Gordon, the way they run in this show, you know, like this:

So The Good Wife is also a cabaret, old chum. Got it.

Or just - whatever happens to you when you watch The Newsroom.

Bill's going to feel even lower when Libby has another baby which in no way resembles him.

Speaking of Eli, what is going on with his hair? It looks like he's rubbing black shoe polish in there. Too busy scheming to get to the hairdresser?

The Knick agrees with you.

The look of the film was goddamn interesting, I'll say that much. Raced to watch it. But the main problem is that any idea that's good in this movie (machines are alive—none of us truly feel any more) was presented with 100 times more sophistication, wit, and yes story-telling skills in the movie Her.

Yeah, Sweet Dee could totally steal Dr. Jeremy away from that Lauren chick. Most people think she's a nine or a ten.

Masters of Sex - ringing out all the possible sensuality from fluffy white kittehs and tight suspenders.

If you're looking for something to do tonight, I know just the place for you. New York's hottest club is Extant. It's got everything; artificial wombs, child robots, seeing dead people, immortality space goo, and air sex with invisible aliens.

The Leftovers is based on a book, so theoretically they can't make it up as they go along like, let's say, about 60% of the episodes of Lost. Except now they've exhausted most of the material from the book The Leftovers, apparently. So this show is going to get - even more nonsensical? Something to look forward to.

And grant Kevin's wish at the same time. That's pretty efficient for a guy with his guts dripping out onto the floor.

Yeah, I'd been wondering that too, but then remembered that in this show there are cults no matter where you go. So maybe it's just about the devil you know? Plus, I'll bet that after the 14th, property values must have downright tanked…

Getting it down to a science on the Colbert Report - he usually starts talking about 1:35. Haven't been able to stand the chanting - the incessant chanting - for years. Except for tonight's episode and wanting to see who's on - I usually skip Boardwalk Empire credits too - way too darn long. But yeah, I watch every…

That, and the fact that most of these images are so - unsexy - makes this a missed opportunity.

Me too, and I'll add Garfunkel and Oates into that mix. Now that I've caught up on all the episodes, these really seem like the shows of the summer.

Yeah, but that wizard gave us all the gift of being able to say "Shazaaaaaaam!"

This is like the time Murray went from his job at the New Zealand Consulate to living in his car and drying his underwear on the headrest. Who am I kidding? Jemaine Clement returning to HBO with Taika Waititi? I am so there and so happy!

This wavering of the tone,l et's call it, ends up really working. Superstar is both poignant and funny, and after awhile you forget you're watching a bunch of dolls. The artificiality makes you feel at moments that you actually know what it was like to be Karen Carpenter.
