God, this show is so bad. I keep hoping it will suddenly click for me, and unfortunately last night it did, but in the wrong direction: this show is 24, but with serial killers instead of terrorists.  It's dumb as bricks, broad, and obvious.

How about she died during childbirth. Sympathy points if nothing else.

The way it was bookended by the backpacker was just chilling and shows how far the characters have gone since season one. Rick would have risked life and limb to help a desperate stranger back then. Now he goes out of his way to avoid them and even loots the guy's probably still warm backpack.

Yeah that bugged me too. That's one of those where in a real conversation you would without question include that bit of information, but since the writers need Morgan to stay, Rick omits it, Lost style. A minor complaint in an otherwise great episode.

"“Clear,” the best episode of the third season so far, and possibly the best episode since the pilot,"

There might be better channels than AV Club for venting your rage.

The ultimate insult to injury. Your move NBC.

This review doesn't seem to take into account that the movie was (supposedly) a remake of the excellent Jack the Giant Killer (starring the beautiful Judi Meredith.) I'm not sure it should be lumped in with the recent rash of simple fairy tale to overblown production films. It may be that in the end, but it took a

I assumed it was a vampire movie solely based on the title. It's not a vampire movie is it?

You could have stopped at "it stars Christian Slater" and I think we would have all gotten the gist. Enjoyable article though. 

I thought the action was the worst part of this movie so I'm not surprised it didn't work out well for John Woo. I still like the story and even Ben Affleck didn't bother me.

While this one was a dud, I think the season as a whole has been one of the strongest in recent memory, buoyed by the Men of Letters introduction.

Oh so he wasn't a character we'd seen before. That confused the hell out of me and I swore that I must have missed an episode. I think they can still reference things we haven't seen, but they should handle the intro to it in a way that we get it was an "off-screen" event. 

I'd give the first 50 minutes a C- and the last 10 minutes an A. 

My wife jumped and was visibly shaken. I can't remember the last time that's happened. Freaky-deaky.

I'm beginning to feel a little disconnected from these reviews. C+? That another solid episode. You can't go wrong with hell hounds. Plus Dean looking like a demon scared the @$!% out of me. 

"Grammys are for like music, not for money"

I feel like Ben Affleck in Good Will Hunting when it comes to Supernatural getting renewed every year. It's awesome having Supernatural around, but I'll be happy when it's suddenly gone so Jensen Ackles can go have a great movie career.

In all seriousness, when do we find out Justin Bieber is really pre-op trans-gender?

I'd go with Joshua Tree. I don't think you can get much more epic than "Where the Street's Have no Name" and "Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" back to back to kick off an album. For all the slack that U2 gets, Joshua Tree IS an amazing album.
