I'm sorry to inflict pain on everyone but this just needs to be shared:

I think we're talking about a difference between revenge/empowerment fantasies, and calm, desensitized acceptance of death, and violent death at that. A normal response would be absolute fright and flight, regardless of how you feel about someone.

There is hospital-acquired pneumonia and there is community-acquired. Usually "acquired" refers to the latter.

Yeah, seconding The Lone Audience here on every charge.

The North American printings used a translator with the finesse of a high school language student crudely translating with the help of a dictionary. Much of the humor is lost entirely.

To jump in on this, I would argue that BUFFY is an excellent example of a show that needed more forethought and planning. I mean, the curse of college is a problem for most shows, and BUFFY started flailing once we left high school and the "High School Is Hell" theme was gone. Buffy in college went off the rails with…

I'm down with that.

Shall be replaced shortly with a better clip.

I heard about Elizabeth Mitchell in V long in advance of the finale. http://ausiellofiles.ew.com… Juliet's death was the most expected thing to ever happen on LOST for me.

TLAotA: My bad on the Caesar issue. It would not be possible for the show to kill off Caesar because of audience dislike, given, as you mention, the dates of filming the show and the airing of the show. However, it was at least perceptive of the writers to get rid of him quick. (Am I alone in my unbridled dislike of…

I rewatched S1 over the summer and, though I found it slower than the breakneck pace of S5 and lacking in conflict because Ben hadn't been introduced yet, it was an incredibly stylized and aesthetically appealing season with excellent characterization. "Pilot Parts 1 and 2", "Walkabout", "Solitary", "All the Best…

I agree. I'm a little nervous about the re-introduction of killed-off cast members and the chance it could feel like S1 again with the show feeling like the helicopter from the S4 finale: overweight.

I want more of that Bullock-on-Streep action from the Critics' Choice Awards.

We'll be left traumatized by the hunter guy.

"It's all an illusion!"

A prequel about those frogs. Or John Hammond's flea circus.

Of all the plot threads JPIII had to borrow from the books, it had to borrow the "army saves the day" one? Also, continuity people! Alan and Ellie were together in the first film, even if they weren't in the book. JPIII just DECIDES to go back to the book, rather than maintain what the first film established? Never…

I think we're cautiously optimistic about this project, but we'll always be wildly optimistic about raptor ownage.

Yoko Homo: Thank you for taking my "oldster" bait!

Shall we all imagine what GOLDEN GIRLS would have been like if Betty White played Blanche as originally intended? Even better, Rue McClanahan as Rose?
