As far as I'm concerned they could just have Rich Fulcher narrate everything from now on. He is that hilarious.

What exactly did they leave hanging from last season? The time jump and the new location are refreshing to me. I would say the effects of Haqqani and Pakistan are still very much present in Carrie's thoughts, hence her turn to religion and attempt to build a new life outside the CIA.

I really hope they don't go the predictable route and make Carrie's boyfriend a bad guy.

Grey's Anatomy meets Homeland? This was more like 90210 meets Homeland. I like soapy stuff to a degree but this was like watching a bunch of middle-schoolers at FBI Camp.

I never saw Marie Antoinette as a defense of the aristocracy. There's plenty of scenes showing their absurd lifestyle and spending. But it also shows Marie Antoinette as the young and politically naive teenager she really was when she was married off to a stranger in a foreign place. She was very much a product of…

I'm still in awe of how Friday Night Lights introduced a whole new crop of kids and made the audience care about them just as much as the first group. Most shows do not survive such changes.

Norman Bates' smile. Holy crap.

"Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit drinking/smoking/sniffing glue/amphetamines."

I would love to see a remake of Excalibur or some other film that does the King Arthur legend justice. I love Excalibur's dark lavishness and intensity, but a lot of the acting is hammy and the narrative muddled. I don't have much hope that anyone could do it justice though.

Hey Kemo! What's calcoolus?

I don't care much for DeNiro or Pacino's respective love interests, but I love Ashley Judd in this role. You think she's just a selfish bitch who only cares about money, but she surprises everyone when she can't go through with giving up Kilmer to the cops.

Ms. Anwar did grace the screen beautifully in that film. I just watched it the other day and while it's not a perfect film (the "Afterlife Advice" stuff is pretty corny and some of the dialogue is just cringeworthy), it still holds up fairly well.

I love the scene where Williams is getting ready to run into the children's room, and the hallway becomes stretched out so it appears much longer than it actually is. It underscores the lengths Williams is willing to go in order to protect her children. Chilling.

I agree with you for the most part. One thing I didn't know prior to the film was how much of Kurt's pain stemmed from his parents' divorce and other family issues from way before he got famous. Still, he made his own choices. I don't think his suicide/premature death was inevitable at all.

I thought the most insightful piece of information about Kurt's personality was when Krist Novoselic said that Kurt HATED being humiliated. Makes a lot of sense given that his father frequently humiliated him while growing up.

In the Battle of the Amy Fisher Portrayals, I think Alyssa Milano wins hands down. It helped that her movie was told from the Buttafuoco's POV, so Amy came off as extra slutty and crazy.

Which has to be seen because of Van's awesome kicks at the end.

I agree, I don't see how Mischa could be a substitute for Paige. I think Elizabeth just feels bad for Philip given the enormous amount of shit he's going through. Plus she respects Mischa since he's fighting on the front lines in Afghanistan.

I agree, and personally I'd rather not see Philip and Elizabeth witnessing the fall of the Soviet Union. They'll either get caught before it happens or they will defect.

That's the first time I've ever heard Peter Quinn described as a hapless moron. He's the best character on the show. It makes a lot more sense for Carrie to bang Quinn than a Pakistani ISI agent, but then again Carrie has never been particular about who she bangs.
