Thank you!

I don't watch this show, but I love Bucky Barnes. What was the context of the line quoted in the Stray Observations?

There are multiple instances in this article where the writer was talking about Ichabod but typed Irving instead… Can this be edited?

That Inception reference is the funniest one I've yet read about that control room freakout. Kudos! Still don't get why they freaked out at all. People say vagina all the time in scripted TV.

Bran was so good this year, but the episode where he got to be awesome was overshadowed by the Red Wedding. "Hodor, stop Hodoring!" And then making him go to sleep. And then siccing the wolves on everyone. Awesome stuff.

I thought Jasika Nicole and Josh Jackson had so much more chemistry than Oliva/Peter on Fringe. I kept shipping it but nothing. Then there was that episode where Fauxlivia's hot boyfriend (Stonebridge from Strike Back) took an interest in her, and I was like, "YES!" And nothing. Just a shame.

I think it's because he knows she'll be pissed that he and Fitz pulled off this whole con to oust her dad and put Jake in charge behind her back. Now that her mom's bad, she's all ready to be a daddy's girl again (that's what Jake was yelling at her about when he was telling her to give Huck a break), Rowan is not

I agree with Sonia that we could have some episodes in which certain characters sit it out. Lost used to do that to great effect. There were lots of episodes where not even Jack showed up so that we could focus on Desmond's story, or what was going on with Locke, or learn more about the Others, etc. The Scandal cast

That is totally his niche specialist role. He's so excellent at it. Sort of how Mark Pellegrino has made a name for himself playing sketchy yet relatively sympathetic immortals.

I also don't understand where Fitz was coming from with Jake. Ever since he told Olivia he was done, Jake has seemed to be keeping his word. He's sticking around because he's working with Huck and seems to care about her in a general way, but I haven't felt even a whiff of their romantic storyline in weeks. I think it

I could not agree more with this review. This was awful. The stuff about Cyrus and Sally and Mellie and James was great and was what Scandal is good at. That's the show I signed up to watch. Sexualized violence and a bastardized Alias with unengaging characters is not.

I love the point about longevity not being directly related to quality. When a show moves away from being what I used to like about it, that doesn't diminish the greatness of seasons I liked. I'll just stop watching and that's fine. And I am always so happy when people remember to make the distinction between opera

Agreed. This was fine, but 2009 is one of the happiest tracks ever made. I can't tell if it's him or if it's what he had to work with this year. Maybe the pop songs from 2009 were just that much better, or at least went together better?

I watched the first episode of this, and while I adored the rapport between the three protagonists (Pythagorus is particularly endearing), I found myself really confused by the 21st century framing. Beyond the first scene of meeting Pythagorus, the time travel didn't come up at all, nor did Jason's knowledge of

I vastly prefer RTD in charge with Moffat writing great eps within a given structure. Even with the sappiness between the Doctor and companions that happened, under RTD there was a greater emphasis on friendship, or even just different types of very strong relationships, than I think exists in the Moffat era. Partly

They needed to have set up Abraham before this, because I didn't understand how or why Ichabod was friends with him. It was hard to care. However, Katrina was almost interesting this week, so…

My eyes glanced over this headline in the newsfeed, saw the word 'tales' and 'dark' and got momentarily excited that this was some sort of Duck Tales/Darkwing Duck renaissance.

Thank you. I think all three are great in their own ways. Part 1 has the most heart, Part 2 is the most enjoyably insane, Part 3 is a Western! I think the trilogy works because they're so different and can't really be compared to one another, while telling a single story.

Why so ambivalent? This movie is amazing. That car chase in 1955 where Marty's trying to get the book, while still trying to avoid other!Marty. Love it. So zanily tense and marvelous. Little me lost her fucking mind, and even grown-up me still thinks it's the greatest.

See, I want to agree with this, because I adored Pacey/Andie. However, that would have meant Dawson ended up with Joey, and I don't want Dawson to have anything nice. Ever.
