Yeah that is a fun show, I have to finish it now that it's on Netflix. It's not really trying to be anything more than an action show, but it does that very well and the visual style is gorgeous (though I wish the faces were more expressive). Much closer to the original movie than that piece of crap Tron: Legacy was.

All my pop culture stuff was on Sunday but there was a lot of it. Went to see Now You See Me, which was surprisingly fun. Wasn't going to go out of my way to catch it but my boyfriend and I needed something to do for an afternoon and I'd seen everything else I was even vaguely interested in. There is really very…

I think there are a lot of people out there like me that think that seasons 3-5 (well the second half of season 3 anyway) are by far the best of the series.

Lost was pretty great from the beginning, but I'll admit that all my favorite characters are ones who are introduced in later seasons, and I didn't become a superfan until late season 2. I'd say keep on trying for a little while, at least until every character has had a showcase episode, since everyone tends to become…

@avclub-12c587c9ed3b9edc910316b5954e12c5:disqus Agreed, I pretty much always watch shows subbed, even when I watched them dubbed first run, but Bebop and Big O both sound completely unnatural to me in the original Japanese version. The voices just sound all wrong to me somehow.

I really wanted to love the hell out of Top of the Lake, and I did for the first four episodes, but after that… just ugh. I was under the impression I was watching a kind of arty, ambiguous mystery, but Campion & co. went ridiculously overboard with the twists in the last couple of episodes. It also dragged the story…

Yunjin Kim! I was wondering where she'd been. Apparently not much of anywhere… she did a few Korean dramas after Lost and then this. Someone needs to find her a juicy role on a cable drama, she was one of of the best actors on Lost.

Really, of all the things wrong with this list, Sopranos at the top is one least problematic elements. And I can definitely see a good case being made for the writing on Cheers being as good or better for it's respective genre than The Wire.

Seeing as M. Night cowrote the script, he's got no one but himself to blame on that count.

I thought it was really good: it was a smart twist on body switch episodes that felt like something that Troy and Abed would actually do at this point in the show. It came from a character motivated place, which made it feel less gimmicky than most season four episodes. Plus it actually made me laugh several times.

It was actually pretty good, as long as your expectations are low. It's a perfectly enjoyable heist/caper flick and it was refreshing how it refused to be pigeonholed into a particular genre. Plus the cast was just outstanding, everyone involved seemed to be having a blast.

John Carter actually grossed a lot of money, the budget was just ridiculously inflated so it still ended up barely making even.

@avclub-354b6db657691a32d14b94a9dfe1780e:disqus I'm sure Anne Hathaway would be happy to hear about that…

It's going to be something anyway.

Seriously, we can just put everything from S4 aside from Rash's episode at the bottom of our respective best episodes lists. Not that they were all terrible, I thought probably half of them were perfectly enjoyable, but they weren't anywhere near the same level the show had been firing on previously.

I'm pretty sure the majority can at least agree that season four was by far the weakest season, regardless of what episodes people liked or disliked, and how much they disliked them.

By which you mean the one darkest timeline episode? Only the finale and a random tag at the end of one episode touched on that, it's not like it was a big season long arc.

Well a few weeks ago everyone was saying there was no way Dan Harmon would return to Community… I can see the fact that it's his baby and he was angry at the NBC and Sony for messing with it could end up making him pretty bitter and snarky. It would be pretty difficult to record commentary for those episodes without…

I can see them not wanting to use more than one show that has the same creator and sensibilities, so I'm okay with that: hence Buffy but no Angel or Firefly, and The West Wing but no Sports Night. But then again they do have both Seinfeld and Curb, as well as Deadwood and NYPD Blue, so I don't know if they were…

@Scrawler2:disqus Yeah, the disappointing thing about conspiracy theories is that they always require institutions to be a lot more competent than they actually are.
