I mostly echo the sentiments Oliver professed here, but I have to disagree one last time with his assessment of Rollins' voice work as Zaheer. Yes, he kept his tones relatively flat and calm, but I found that acting choice to be in keeping with the character. I thought it worked well to juxtapose his calm nature…

The thing this article really should've told everyone is that EVERY SINGLE ONE of David Lynch's tweets begins with the salutation, "Dear Twitter Friends."

Adventure Time's one-two punch of "I Remember You" and "Simon & Marcy" triggers the waterworks every. Goddamn. Time. After the first airing of "Simon & Marcy," I couldn't listen to the Cheers theme for months.

At the end of these crossovers, Nick Fury will appear in the shadows and tell Olivia he wants to talk to her about the Avenger Initiative.

"If you're saying I play favorites, you're wrong. I love all my companions equally!"

For the most part I agree, but Justified gets really strong ratings without a Netflix presence. That said, Justified also *just* predates the Age of Binge-Streaming.

At this point, I'm hoping The Americans will just build on its own, like Breaking Bad did, since FX doesn't seem that keen to promote it. But then again, without Justified and SoA to prop up its drama department, maybe they'll finally give Boris and Natasha some credit.

I find Kings' premature cancelation to be a true televisual injustice, especially as an unfortunate black mark marring the career of an esteemed gentleman such as Deadwood's own Ian McShane.

He was also an excellent way of introducing tension among the crew, given divided opinions of himself and his actions. Internal pressure, to me at least, is a better storytelling force than external pressure, so for the most part stories that divided the crew were almost always more compelling than ones that were…

It's one of those shows where it's theoretically for kids, but it's really just for everyone. See also: Adventure Time.

I answer this with a resounding yes. And while it's funny from episode to episode, I think it really benefits from being watched in serial order. Over the first season, they fleshed out the town of Gravity Falls in a Springfield-ian fashion I really dug.

I always liked Zarek. He's an even more literal expression of a theme begun by Gaius—the idea that not just good guys survived the destruction of humanity, and that elements like him will continue to endure right along with the rest of the species. Of course, later in the series Roslin and Adama did some stuff that…

So we're getting two seasons of Korra in the time it's taken us to get, like, five episodes of Gravity Falls?

Understandable points, all. That said:

I don't think he really qualifies as a yellow peril type, though. He's an ethnic villain, but his villainy isn't rooted in his ethnicity. Essentially, he's just Batman.

And what's more, I think part of her is worried that with the Air Nation stepping up to safeguard balance in the world, maybe she really has outstayed her usefulness. After all, all her powers weren't enough to stop Zaheer from throwing the world into Hell. It was the Air Nation that stopped him for good.

Thanks for sharing. That shit is going straight onto my phone for the drive home.

That two-parter is the only reason I specified "I think" instead of just crowning these two right now. I need to think it over for a while.

I'll have more detailed commentary when I've collected myself a bit more, but I just wanted to say that when Jinora pulled back her hood and she looked SO much like Aang, I completely fucking lost it.

Someone needs to spring her from Longmire, where she's been wasted for the past few years.
