Is 'the pits' good or bad? The Internet is inconclusive. I feel like this might be a 'shit' vs 'the shit' situation.

The Deadwood one is a slog to get through the first 36 times but then you develop a Pavlovian affinity for it.

Out of this World

What is the ocean, if not a giant irregular pipe?

Fire him like he's nothing more than a goddamn Pilates instructor.

Yes, the look and the feel was great. Also, all of the plot holes that The Internet harped on afterwards really didn't occur to me at the time. But I freely admit that I am highly biased in favor of the Alien franchise and just wanted it to work, dammit.

It's admittedly been a while since those early seasons, but to me it always came off as creepy. And that it at some point (perhaps even prior to the timeline of the show) turned 'mutual' is a choice the writers made. It seemed to me like more of the same dynamic that all these shows portray; namely, that you can wear…

I agree with this article. I just wanted to point out, though, that the comments here seem to be ignoring one of the more egregious offenders—Jim from The Office—without whom this discussion would be incomplete.

It'll be interesting to see who will be considered a "familiar face" in the internet age. I kind of saw the original trilogy for the first time before I had internet access and it surprised me years later when I saw who became 'popular' online (Boba Fett, Admiral Ackbar, etc.). When I saw the movies, those guys were…

It's actually pretty smart to pick L because she was probably unsure if it was "I've" or "I'll". Picking L not only clarifies the first word, but if it was actually supposed to be "I've" then that L is still useful as a common letter for the other six words. If she went with V and it was, in fact, "I'll", she…

I enjoyed his response to Saul's "so you didn't just snap and try to maim a sitting congressman; that was all part of your plan, right?"

Ahh, Brody pulled the old classic tell-your-girl excuse of "hey, baby, I can't tell you where I've been because of national security, sweetcheeks." Works every time.

I still can’t get over how Dexter is legitimately good again. Even the small things that I was nitpicking in the last episode and the beginning of this one – ‘what about Deb asking about Rita’s death’ or ‘so, what, did they all just not attend Mike’s funeral’ – were specifically brought up by the writers.

He totally Waingro'd the situation.

I would have appreciated a discussion about the philosophical underpinnings and the morality of killing women and "innocents" before bringing down the arena in Capua.  Certainly it's something worth analyzing and something that a conscientious hero like Spartacus would contemplate, but it just didn't feel timely at…

That's the most remarkable thing about the movie — that it overcomes its lead's otherwise generally listless characteristics.  I can't really think of an example of a broader chasm between the likeability of an actor and the greatness of the film.  Josh Hartnett and Sin City, maybe.
