Well did you or didn't you? Don't ask me whether you thought it was best - how should I know what you think?

Interesting URL. Maybe this is some new device of AV Club to de-fang spam, since it now can't achieve anything. Let's hope.

Sarah Lancashire is currently on PBS for three hours straight: Last Tango in Halifax followed by The Paradise. I don't think I'd seen her before, but immediately noticed when she "came back on" on Paradise after about a 5-minute break after Tango.

Much shorter. Just sort of very short curls bunched up on top of the head. Take a look at Silk that was on PBS Masterpiece Mystery a few weeks ago. There must be a free video excerpt, or at least a photo or two, up on the PBS website.

(It would be Derby, pronounced "Darby". And Hertfordshire, pronounced "Hartfordshire".  Just saying.)

Since, in real life, Chris Pratt was in England for some time on that film, and they have Andy due to stay there with Lord Covington, they may well have shot several extra scenes with him and Lord Covington while they had the P&R crew over there for this episode. So we may well see an ongoing "spinoff" with those two…

Shedding questions? I have a dog called Alistair…

When he first said he liked Lagavulin, my immediate thought was "Hey - that's something European you like!". It was just a short step from there to the destination, but in fact i didn't anticipate it until the distillery showed up. It was enough he was noticing the hills and managing the boat.

How can there be a spoiler after the final episode of the season and a review that discusses it in full detail? You are likely the only person irritated, yes, especially since it's founded on your claim that the culprit had no meaningful scenes beforehand.

No. Go back to sleep.

And there's no reason why he couldn't play Prospero in The Tempest. (I have no idea if he has in fact done so in recent years.) I saw John Geilgud do so in his later years, and he was magnificent.

What they are talking about in the political scenes is the issue of tax deductions for private health insurance. Brigitte and her government have proposed removing those. The idea is that these tax deductions they give people for their payments to private health insurance deprive the government of money that instead…

Yes, the painting was of St. Sebastian. Jesus was not killed by arrows. i believe, however, that in Christian iconography Sebastian's is usually interpreted to evoke Jesus' death, so it's not so far off to go there.

So you can rest assured you'll find out next week, then. What's the problem?

They way they cut to commercials is also extremely jarring. Of course it's because it wasn't conceived in "acts" designed to go to commercial, so they simply break into the narrative when a scene ends. But I wish they could stay on black for one second before the commercial starts so you could have a moment to adjust.…

They only just got his bashed-up computer. By the next day they will know something.

By 37 votes. The Rewind and Pause buttons are your friend.

Or they had a prenup agreement, which wouldn't be very unusual when a zillionaire marries a waitress.

He did deal with the gangster guy who actually drove his wife off the road, by slicing his neck. I suppose he still has to take care of that guy's super-rich father who got it covered up. Marco's not the only one.

Well, As Time Goes By, which was still being repeated on one of my local PBS stations a couple of months ago, was structured as a 30-minute sitcom with a live audience (I think) laugh track and almost exclusively interior shots that must have been shot on a simple studio stage. This one is a 60-minute "drama", with…
