"Line-readings so wooden that you should watch out for splinters." Ouch. That's cold. I applaud your word choice.

Juan, as has been proven, is not that bright. And doesn't have a Micheletto around to point out these rookie mistakes.

I came close to giving it the full A, but I'm withholding full judgment until we get deeper into the season and see if this is a fluke or not.

I just realized something: Sarah commented on Jess's bras earlier, but locked herself in Nick's room. Nick must have a "bang box" even more impressive than Grayson's on Cougar Town.

Uh, I think you mean Ryan McGee for the Cougar Town review, unless American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy is now slumming for us.

My first out-of-context LOST comment! Hooray.

You're probably right - I couldn't actually understand what he was saying when he named it "Pear of Anguish," hence why I left it out. I assumed that Charles put him through as many of the devices as he could.

Sadly it looks like this is the only one, at least of the first seven.

Todd did a review of "Borgia" back in February: http://www.avclub.com/artic…. I haven't seen it myself.

This show would be so much better with a little Assassin's Creed flavoring. Then again, most shows would be better with Assassin's Creed.

Micheletto's a terrific character without question - he was definitely the breakout performance last year, a parallel to Richard Harrow from "Boardwalk Empire" or Bronn from "Game of Thrones." I too am hopeful that he'll have much more to do in future episodes, especially after he was curiously sidelined for half of…
