Is an appearance by Dylan McDermott ever not random? He only seems to get cast when the first five choices for the role aren't available.

The fuck? BSG has it's problems, but the miniseries is probably the greatest pilot I've ever seen for a show. It manages to lay out all the major characters, conflicts, political issues, and spiritual themes of the series in a tight and suspenseful three hours. I am loving the series, but I'm still doubtful that…

Uh, Tigh on BSG is already all kinds of sexy. I am crushing hard on Michael Hogan right now.

I'm so glad that a lot of other people didn't really understand the plot: I remember thinking about halfway through the pilot that I didn't really get a lot of what was going on and was fairly baffled throughout the three episodes I saw. I thought it might be just me but fortunately this doesn't seem to be the case.…

Denzel is almost 58 and only 7 years younger than Jonathan Banks… so he's not exactly a spring chicken.

Yeah it's interesting how Buffy has my all time least favorite finale, and Angel has my favorite (though overall I prefer Buffy by a slight margin). Whedon shows are funny that way: there are some things I really hate about both shows, but the good stuff is so good it outweighs them.

Honestly I really enjoy season 1, even as I recognize it's the worst season of the show. I enjoy the campiness and since I'd already seen most of seasons 4 and 5 before I watched it, it was really fascinating to see where the characters started out. It's also interesting to see the show maturing, and see where it…

My hatred of Anne is kind of unreasonable, I've always just thought it's a terrible season premiere. I don't think Buffy as a waitress in LA really works or is very convincing, and the whole dimension with enslaved women thing is one of the worst examples of Whedon's hamfisted feminist messages. It's strange to me…

This is very close to mine. I just missed out on catching Holy Motors in theaters by a couple days, which was pretty devastating, but ah well. I was a bit disappointed by The Master and Cloud Atlas would be my number one for sure. I also didn't really care for Magic Mike and still haven't seen Beasts of the Southern…

This has indeed been a horrible development season. The only shows that I thought looked very promising at the start were The Mindy Project, Nashville, and Last Resort, all of which went seriously downhill after 2 episodes. Ben and Kate is fine but  I don't think it's anything very special, though it is probably the…

I think she's actually been in every episode of the show, but most of those appearances were like, a scene. It's frustrating because I think Anna Camp is pretty great and hilarious, she's somehow really amazing at playing dumb blonde types but can also come off as really smart and savvy in other roles (or both at the…

Yeah the show gets way better. You aren't at the point where it became a truly great show yet: most fans mark that point at the 7th episode of season 2 "Lie to Me", but the point where pretty much every episode becomes essential is probably the season 2 two part finale. There are still a few duds here and there (such…

Didn't Murphy say that there wouldn't be any zombies or vampires on the show? Of course I fully expect him to break that rule eventually. I mean seriously what is next season gonna be about? Murderous circus freaks, evil dolls and the Wendigo?

Cromwell really revels in the delivery of these ridiculous lines in a way McDermott didn't though, he's nowhere near as wooden. It's basically the whole difference between the first two seasons: last year it was a horror show trying to be scary but ending up as crazy camp, and this year it knows it's ridiculous and…
