I cannot support incest. I know they aren't blood relatives. But. So many years! Still sisters! Still eww.

I think they've pushed the "dweeb" parts of him onto Winn, which bothers me. I wish they'd just cast a hot African-American actor who can also pull off slightly nerdy (I know Donald Glover is busy, but this is my dream) and not bothered with creating an entirely new nerdy character. Hot James Olson feels bland, more…

This is why I'm sorry CBS's attitude toward streaming is so stingy. This is a great example of a show I'd ignore week-to-week until mid-season, but keep up with through binging two or three eps at a time. This is how I got into The Flash and it helped push through the meh episodes immensely. I might just drop it…

There's also whatever streaming services like Netflix pay for it, and will continue to pay for it forever periodically, which I'm assuming isn't inconsequential.

I started college in 2000, so "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" was literally a dorm room staple for me. Good night, sweet prince, and such.

Autocorrect is an insightful TV critic of the Dorne subplot this year.

The show never really knew what to do with Orlando Jones even in the first season. He wasn't bad, and I'm broadly pro-employed Orlando Jones, but he was never doing anything that seemed terribly vital.

I've come to the conclusion that there isn't really "90s" fashion, as badly iconic as some of the stuff from that period is. There's "80s hold-over" and "pre-00s," and you can divide the different kinds of bad ideas on display pretty firmly at about 1995.

They've done an original song here and there, but it's pretty much all covers. Which kept it profitable, since for awhile people were actually buying them on ITunes. It's obviously an easier business model, though I think "Nashville" has also managed to sell its songs that way, and it is mostly originals (I've seen…

I'll even sort of defend "Smash." The songs were pretty good and I always thought they were well-performed, even if claiming Kat McPhee was a better singer than Megan Hilty was bizarre. If the show around them had been less stupid, I would've kept watching. Even after I quit the show, I still watched the musical…

Totally agree this is Will Arnett's best performance, including AD. Job had his moments, but I can count on one hand with fingers to spare the number of times I felt like he was a human being. BoJack (despite being a cartoon horse) is wall-to-wall human moments, even if some of them are cringe-inducing.

Same. I think Season 5 is top-to-bottom excellent (I'll put it up there with 2 and 3 easily). And while 4 has the giant sinkhole at its center that is Riley/Adam/The Initiative, is has some of the best stand-alone episodes of any stretch of the series ("Hush" alone elevates the whole season).

I agree with this. It's obvious from the interview how important the job was to Cenac and how the much the blow-up hurt him. I thought it was a pretty damn interesting interview all around (sometimes Maron irritates the hell out of me, but I keep listening because his interviews are awesome when he hits the right…

Pretty much. I thought the point of the story on the podcast (honestly, I did not think it'd become a Thing when I listened to it all in context) was how much pressure to be perfect and to represent The One Black Dude feels in a writers room of a show like TDS. I figure these kinds of fights happen a lot in writers…

My first thought upon reading the hed was, "I'm not sure I can buy Tyler Perry as a man who doesn't know how to make any money."

This definitely makes no sense if NBC is bringing it back but…NBC claims it's bringing it back. I have no idea. I have trouble imagining binging "Aquarius." I've been leaving it on in the background so I don't miss the beginning of "Hannibal" and even one episode a week is a slog.

Atticus Finch also doesn't successfully white-savior anyone. Tom Robinson gets convicted. Then he dies. Atticus tries and fails and the book is better for it.

Nothing about the plot details in "The Hobbit" directly conflict with the plot details in "Lord of the Rings." It has a different tone (it's what we think of today as a YA book, while LotR is epic mythology), but the story fundamentally still works if you accept both as having happened. "Go Set a Watchmen"…

Given how successful "To Kill a Mockingbird" was, there's clearly a reason its quasi-sequel/predecessor wasn't published. More than that, there's clearly a reason Harper Lee's editors asked her to rework the material about Scout's childhood into a full-length novel, rather than publishing "Go Set a Watchmen" in the…

It IS everywhere, to somewhat unbelievable levels. There are two Subways within walking distance of my office, and exponentially more if you're willing to drive 5 minutes.
