Like the writer and many others, I just jumped my first play-through without even thinking to "wait" for Shadow. It wasn't until years later, when I read similar online guides, that I realized I could save him.

Season 4 of "Lost" is one of those things I wish I could experience fresh again, because I have no idea how it feels to a new viewer. It was incredibly refreshing and fun at the time, with a lot of things that were genuine surprises for me because I wasn't as plugged int following shows online at the time.

If Sayid had been in the Jack and/or Locke "leader" role, I think they'd have been off the island and/or living in the Others village after a brutal but effective take-over in Season 2.

I have no issue with Sayid in Season 5, though I think he's under-used (but he's chronically under-used throughout the series). The only "wrong" decision he makes is in the 'Would You Kill Baby Hitler?' episode and…I always answer that question with, "Yes, I'd kill Baby Hitler," so I can't argue with him there.

WtCMB is probably the low point of the first season. I'm actually fine with both "Tabula Rasa" and "Born to Run." They aren't fabulous (and there's a lot of fabulous in this season that they suffer by comparison to), but they manage acceptable flashback stories and on-island stuff that's actually interesting.

As would many, many other people. Which doesn't inherently make it immature, and I rather liked it.

It's hands down my favorite Jane Austen adaptation.

It's "Firefly" in that it pastes some Western trappings on a sci-fi show and that's the most readily accessible comparison. I don't think anyone has compared it to "Firefly" in terms of dialogue.

He may well have had more limited time due to filming the pilot, but he was never used so much on "Mad Men" that I can see a pilot interfering horribly with his schedule. Jon Hamm's done movies during hiatus periods, Elisabeth Moss did a whole mini-series ("Top of the Lake"), etc. For better or worse, Ginsberg went…

Roslin is the best.

I liked him a lot during the first season, which made me try to make excuses for his doucheynss during the second despite growing to hate him, and then just give into really really hating him in the third season. Then, the season finale twist in "Through the Looking Glass" started me on a journey to liking him again,…

Quite happy about this. The show is far from perfect (and having read the book I'm skeptical it's a long-term series at all), but I've enjoyed it so far and I want to see where they go with it.

It does feel like an album I need to live with for awhile. Which is a good sign, if nothing else, since I want to give it more spins.

BJs in general seem to be less common on TV than vaginal or even anal sex. I'm sure if I sat down and thought about it I could list some classic Dudes Getting Blown scenes, but it takes some thinking. There are references to them all the time, but I don't think actually showing the act is common, whoever's receiving…

Same. I rarely ship and when I do, I never do it correctly, so I'm not surprised the nerdy modern husband popped more for me than the Scottish beefcake. The cunnilingus in the castle helped, of course.

Love me some "Numbers."

Spoilers (kind of):

"Stigma" was literally the episode that made me quit the show. The way it dealt with the Vulcans just made me throw up my hands and walk away. Took me about a year and a half to go back for Season 4 (I've since watched Season 3 on Netflix, and it's not bad at all).

Other awful abominations like "Profit & Lace" and "Threshhold" and that TNG episode where Dr. Crusher masturbates to a candle all have the benefit of being relatively self-contained. Not every entry in a 22+-episode TV season is going to be a winner, and I can forgive the odd bad egg when you're trying to fill that…
