Waiting until the end of a series' lifespan is a gamble. I recently took that gamble with "Sons of Anarchy" and am desperately regretting it now. I feel like I'm in a toxic marriage but the kids are in high-school so I can't leave until it's all done. I still have two seasons left to go, and it's bordering on a…

Let's not be too quick to start complaining about omissions. We've only gotten half way through the list thus far. Given that AV Club rated awarded every episode bar two an A grade this last season, I would be stunned if it wasn't up there.

Little late to the Buffy party there, mate. Out of curiosity, how did you find it held up given how dated it is compared the other shows you watched? Obviously you liked it given that you, well, said so, but did it still seem fresh?

Forgive my ignorance, but what is an "HBO civilization series" exactly?

I personally think it was Margaret who killed Scotty. I don't know whether she is intentionally laying it on Noah in revenge for the pattern of events that she blames him for starting (the destruction of her daughter's marriage which in turn led to her own familial relationships imploding, not to mention the small…

I don't know…he seems like a pretty legitimate, expensive New York defense attorney. I don't see him being willing to risk being disbarred, no matter how good a client Helen might have once been. That being said, his handling the case in the first place, not to mention his sharing material facts with Helen, are…

What's the time lag between the confrontation between Noah and Max in the Hamptons, and the trial? Surely Max would have come forward long before now to have offered up information for the prosecution, unless something else beyond that meeting happened in the run-up to the trial that we just haven't seen yet.

Wasn't Curtis also the black agent in "24"? I seem to recall that things didn't work out entirely as planned for him either. Didn't he end up on the receiving end of a fellow agent's weapon (Jack himself, if memory serves me correctly)?

So, which version of Max are we to believe is the real one? The obnoxious uber-douche or the sensitive, misunderstood Gatsby? There doesn't seem to be much middle ground when it comes to him.

If that were the case though, wouldn't Helen want to see the case wrapped up with a conviction, even/especially if (delete as deemed personally applicable) it were her cheating ex-husband? That would have to be preferable to it remaining open and leaving her daughter vulnerable to prosecution.

The scene with Quinn in the hospital would have been even better had Carrie gone ahead and broken the 4th wall with a quick "DAMMIT!" after she demanded to know where the attack was happening.

I'd like to see a critique of Wizzard's 1973 classic, "I wish it could be Christmas every day". One of my very favorite Christmas songs, even though I know objectively that it is very far from being a good song in the traditional sense.

Was there really that much Bono, or was it just that he got saddled with one of the worst single lines of a song ever composed?

Just thank God it's them instead of you.

My mistake - it was in "The Atlantic". Ran every day for the month of November. It's well worth a read.

Oh - my mistake. It was in "The Atlantic". It ran every day for the month of November. It's well worth a read.

Yup. Came down to Ramsay Bolton Vs. Hannibal, with Ramsay coming out on top.

Out of curiosity - having been through couples therapy, my understanding is that therapists will never engage with just one of the individuals, and that they both have to be there. Is that not the case?

It's a shame (not to mention, a surprise) that Noah Salloway didn't make it into the Worst Character on TV bracket that AV Club ran recently. I'm not saying that he would have dethroned Ramsey Bolton, but I reckon he would have made it to the semi-finals.

I like the Arab version of "Big Head" from "Silicon Valley" (the one who is looking out for Quinn). He's a ringer down to the looks and facial expressions. For that reason alone, he ought to not only survive the season, but end up leading Syria.
