Amazingly the least dumbest possible thing that was in the elevator would be the smoke monster and they just straight up steal that entire mythology.

What they don't mention is that while it doesn't hurt sales to be too spoilery in the trailers is how inevitably it leads to mass opinion being that it's merely very good but not great. There's nothing to get too excited about so it ends up never reaching critical potential. Of course, with stuff like the Avengers,…

They should've made Dwight regional manager halfway through the season. Why they waited this long for something that could've really reinvigorated the season is beyond me.

I thought the Halloween episode was pandering and one of the weaker or at least middling episodes of the season.

Let's be fair about one thing though: Community "pushing the genre to it's breaking point" is dead. It is never coming back in sitcoms soon and certainly not to Community. Dan Harmon's never coming back, but he's not even interested in being groundbreaking anymore. He's doing multi-cam sitcoms for CBS for fucks sake.…

Betas is the clear winner here. It's a solid, polished, and actually funny(!) show. This is the show back.

I don't know what the hell Todd is talking about at the beginning of this review. The pilot is easily the worst or second worst episode of this show's brief history. The only other episode to compete for that title is the second episode. Everything else afterward suddenly just worked and was actually funny. But that…

Fuck. I can't believe I lost by seconds.

Java the Hutt?

"Garden State, that movie you used to like a lot but hate in hindsight." That's pretty much the most accurate description I've seen for a movie ever. It sums up exactly how I feel about it.

Based on the pilot, as far as the game-show tie in is concerned: I don't think anybody said, "We have this great idea for a show, and hey let's make a game to go along with it." Nor did anybody say "We've been working on this game, we would love to have a show with it to fill out this vision." Instead it appears to…

I can't believe they cancelled Alphas for this garbage. I love good scifi but I really hate shitty scifi. This show, at least in it's first episode, is shitty scifi. Among the most grown inducing you can watch. You can take octoshark vs megagator or w/e it was called more seriously than this. I haven't completely…

I always expected him to kill Russo that entire episode. It was set up from the beginning of the season and seemed like the inevitable conclusion Frank was going to make as soon as Russo became out of control. And honestly from that character it seemed earned enough. It was hinted at in the very beginning of the…

To be fair, this episode was easily as good as season 3's first couple episodes at least on initial viewing. Maybe my expectations were too high when S3 started or maybe my expectations have been lowered enough in the wait for S4, but either way I'd say the premiere was on par with last year's.

Now that it's been on HIMYM, does that mean I should change my mail alerts to a new soundbite? I'm conflicted.

"Alphas was a bit off-brand for Syfy, in that it…" wasn't dog shit. Some of the best characters and good, solid drama on TV. Now we're down to like four shows that are any good at drama: BB, Homeland, Justified and Game of Thrones. Seriously, what other dramas with as good writing as Alphas are left? Off the top of my…

Wasn't this show called "Season 9 of Scrubs?"

Sexism might make up a small part of the hatred of Whitney Cummings, but that shouldn't obscure the genuine disdain most people have for her. The only reason people even accuse her of sleeping her way on TV is because she is attractive (until she starts talking). It's not like people are saying the same thing about…
