I'll admit that I was a little iffy on this season when it began. It was immediately one of the best shows on television, but I just wasn't sure the characters stacked up to Season 1, which I think will go down as having one of the most iconic casts of characters in the history of television. Molly, Malvo, Lester,…

I was for sure expecting this to be essentially a remake of New Hope, in a sense. That's what Phantom Menace was, and it was especially important for this movie to get back to basics. To just, you know, get everything right. All I was hoping for with this movie was for it to be fun, exciting and energetic. The next…

That ending was some next level stuff. Officially psyched for this season.

Wow, no Tame Impala is a HUGE oversight.

Lost is my favorite show of all time. My great hope is that fans of Leftovers will check out Lost and approach it with the same acceptance of ambiguity that they have for this show. (Even though I would argue they answered any truly important question in the course of the show)

The homeward bound scene might be my pitch for best scene of television in 2015. All other candidates are also from this season of The Leftovers. And last week's Fargo.

Sweet Jesus, what finale were you watching? Your heart's like an over-rated Disney movie: Frozen.

Just caught up!
I've really enjoyed the season as a whole, but it's definitely felt like one long movie, so no one episode has stuck out to me in particular.
This one, though. Oh man. One of the best episodes of television I've seen. And surprisingly, genuinely funny.
I've not been feeling Donovan's performance this…

The Office, Extras and the Ricky Gervais Show podcast were absolutely brilliant. I even thought his early stand up was really strong. Starting with Invention of Lying though, he's become like, this sort of crusader against belief. (The movie was pretty good, I thought, but his reaction to the reaction started getting…

I guess that just comes down to taste. I think Pine and Quinto fucking nailed it. Really the whole Enterprise crew was perfect, IMO. Cumberbutt? Eh. He was fine, but replaceable.

So dumb. It was great, and necessary, to have him in the first movie. To establish that this new series takes place in an alternate timeline.

It's surprising that STID is so run of the mill because The Leftovers is fucking brilliant, and I'm obviously a huge fan of Lost.

So, this will be unpopular, but after JJ's Star Trek I started watching Star Trek TOS and *loved it.* Immediately became one of my favorite shows. I was so excited to watch Wrath of Khan, because it's always touted as this great film.
I totally did not like it. It was blandly directed, sluggishly paced, Khan's fake…

I totally disagree. They didn't play it like a reveal at all. I just re watched it. There's no dramatic zoom, no music cue, nothing. He just says that he changed his name and Bond's like, "Ok." and then they move on.

The negative reaction to this movie is hilariously disproportionate to its quality. It's fine. It's a very well made, well acted space opera. It's not great or anything, but as a bad movie aficionado, I find the notion that this is supposedly a bad movie insulting to bad movies. It's a fine movie. Probably not Star…

Eh, these comments about it being too dark are getting a little old. I think the over-the-top intensity looks fun, actually. Dark and fun are not mutually exclusive.

I just watched the blu ray, and unless I blinked and missed it, it would appear that they cut out that awkward looking shot of Han dodging the laser. With that gone, it's not really clear who shot first, and the scene totally works for me. All the completely useless CG glamor shots of Mos Eisley? Doesn't work for me…

I was hating on it for awhile, but With Special Guest has been ridiculously on point lately. It's a must-listen now.

You're right, forced non-consensual sex is totally fine if it's a girl doing it, right?

You magnificent bastard!
