I really like The Killers, but they are a band of diminishing returns album-wise. "Hot Fuss" felt like a breath of (retro, so maybe not so) fresh air when it came out. "Sam's Town" was great too, though feels like it's trying just a little too hard to out-Springsteen Springsteen at times.

Agree with you completely on EWBA.

This season is fine. I had to purchase the entire first two seasons though (this was during Season 2).

I should have been more clear - I was referring to prior to this season, using Comcast. I had to pay to download and own the entire first two seasons.

I've never watched a single episode of Hannibal live - until now I didn't even know what night it was on (for some reason I assumed it was the Friday Death Slot) - though I'm not sure if that makes me part of the problem or the solution.

I don't know if getting 3 seasons can really be viewed as cursed. That's a pretty respectable innings by most TV show standards. I've changed my view on Hannibal a bit recently - much as I love the show, I do think that it has the capacity to go downhill very, very sharply. This season has already hinted at that, and…

Not that I want to see the show end, but I was always less interested in seeing yet another version of the books and movies we already know. A series set post-Red Dragon (which, of course, was set long before the Florence set episodes we've seen recently…which possibly shreds my argument anyway) would have been much…

Wasn't this fairly well documented news from a while back? It was public months ago that Will was married at the point of the Red Dragon storyline.

As with any "Worst Of" list, it really depends on whether you're factoring in popularity. While it's easy to hate on Creed, Nickleback, etc - and don't get me wrong, they are terrible - they're far from the worst bands out there. It's the fact that they're so unfathomably popular with a certain segment of the…

Intentionally or not, Mellisandre has certainly done a number on House Baratheon.

It's simply incredible. I say the same thing every single episode. That said, I think the (relative) restrictions of network TV actually rein it in to some extent and make it the better, more beautiful, artful show for it.

Agree 100% on Monica's hair. It's glorious.

I completely relate to this. "Red Dead Redemption" aside, I've felt increasingly paralyzed playing open-world video games over the past few years. I couldn't advance more than 30 minutes into "Far Cry 4" before feeling overwhelmed, and I never even cracked the box on "Skyrim", such were the stories I'd heard about…

JLD's reaction to Karen's comment about Amy not being comfortable around powerful women was a masterclass in non-verbal acting.

Stannis' "fewer" versus "less" comment was the funniest moment in some time. He may be a humorless bastard, but at least he's a humorless, grammarian bastard.

I think that the long-term joke is that the Chinese kid will ultimately be more successful than any of them.

Didn't Jon only start to show warg tendencies around this point in the books though? I don't recall him having them from earlier in the series.

I assume Mikey was wearing a bullet-proof vest under that suit? I don't know how he could possibly have kept on taking shot after shot at point-blank range, short of being a T-800.

Great episode. Good to see they are retaining the Breaking Bad tradition of one bleeped out F-Bomb each season, that they'll unbleep on the DVD.

I agreed with a commentator on here last week that good as BCS is, there is something about it that is off (though as yet, impossible to define). I don't necessarily disagree with what I said, but I will say this - Jimmy's tale is infinitely more compassionate (and by extension of that, sad) than that of Walter White.…
