Funny, I was just trying to come up with a top ten. My list is pretty weird, I would say

That whole conversation was pretty freaking cheesy. No kid talks like that. Corey Stoll's performance still made it a pretty devastating moment but it could have been much better executed.

@avclub-32b63dd70d870580128d83e930199e1c:disqus Which is to say nothing of the second or the third… I defy anyone to give a semi-coherent plot synopsis of those films. The whole time I was just like "I don't know what it's going on, but it's really stupid".

10. The ability to count?

*Ahem* Girls. That is all.

Seriously. Why on earth would Frank not move him? Wouldn't people question who the hell picked up Russo? The whole thing was so freaking sloppy… if this isn't setting up a major arc in season 2 where Frank has to evade accusations of murder this show has just become too stupid for words.

This explanation would make sense, except the Vice President was already set to run for governor anyway well before Russo died. It would have worked out brilliantly if Frank had just induced Russo to commit suicide or something but killing him like that was way too big of a risk for such a small gain.

I see your point, but the show had those same problems in the second season and the show was always pretty sloppy when it comes to plotting. I see the flaws but I don't really see how they increase that much from the first two seasons. The last two seasons are weaker but they're far from bad and certainly well worth…

Is that really that big of a threat though? Russo was drunk at the time and could easily be discredited. I can't see Frank impulsively deciding to kill him just because of that, and he certainly wouldn't do it himself. It seems like it should be all to easy to connect the dots, especially since Russo wasn't sitting in…

So… why exactly did Frank kill Russo? That made very little sense to me, he'd already killed his career and put him out of the running. Killing him just seems like an unnecessary risk that could go on to backfire on Frank. I was conflicted about this episode because the story is becoming so, so stupid, yet the…

I really don't get the beef with the last two seasons of BSG: After the Pegasus arc it's all really uneven, but I'm about halfway through season 4 now and I don't think the last two seasons are really all that big of a step down. Nowhere near the levels of the last two seasons of Buffy or the final seasons of X-files…

Is that supposed to be a joke? Shutter Island is effective as an atmospheric horror thriller, but is best watched with your brain turned completely off or you will immediately pick up on it's really obvious and hamfisted twist. Inception is much more complex and interesting to think about, though not exactly profound.

@avclub-84e43a60237ffece9cd4c85c103e298c:disqus I also really disliked all of Von Trier's films but kept on watching them… until Melancholia which I adore and is one of my favorite films. I'm not sure why, the story is pretty much the same as every Von Trier film, but it's so visually beautiful, and builds to such an…

Seeing as you failed to notice what decade the show is set in, it may have gone over your head. And that isn't really the point the show is making, so much as that things may have changed a lot superficially, but there's been very little real progress from where we were back then.

I really, really like how low key Lecter is on this show. I could see some people thinking it's going too far, and Mikkelsen doesn't really have the charisma that Hopkins and Cox had in the role (though he does really command the screen), but after the campy mess of Hopkins' performances in Hannibal and Red Dragon…

I would say that the first four episodes of the first season were actually really, really terrible. From episode 5 onwards it was a very solid season though, one of the more consistent ones. Season five is also very consistent, a couple of episodes don't quite work, but none of them are bad and many are very, very…

Same. I used to hate space opera tv shows for some reason, but I'm slowly coming around and making my way through Battlestar Galactica, Farscape, and Babylon 5 right now. I may make my way towards Deep Space Nine at some point, but the whole franchise is so long, stiff, and boring seeming that it really turns me off.…

The Human Centipede was actually incredibly tame. Whatever you imagine after hearing about the premise is far worse. I'm a bit afraid to watch the second one based on the things I've heard about it though…

That movie is just the worst. It somehow manages to become increasingly ugly and unpleasant as it goes on, even though the fire hydrant and rape scenes come near the beginning. What follows them is just so irritating, awful and manipulative that I just wanted to erase the whole thing from my mind. I've never seen it…

Nugent really just likes to bitch about things for no reason. Pryor is really just a slightly wacky, but nice guy in a wheelchair in that movie… he actually comes off as far less strange than Jack Nance.
