I'm just glad to finally have an answer as to where the foot on Lost originated.

Xenu disagrees, and therefore, Xenu wins.

It does make me wonder exactly how bad a Simpsons episode needs to be to earn a grade below a C.

An ode to the missing Malaysian plane?

I can buy your argument regarding Agustin. But I can't with Patrick—he really feels like he's just spinning his wheels here. It's hard to compare the date with the doctor to either Richie or even Kevin just because the doctor was such a dismissive ass. I think Patrick's desire not to talk about the relationship with

Oh, got it. Since I didn't actually compare Looking to The Following (go back and read it slowly, sounding out all the words to yourself, with a dictionary at hand so you can look up the big ones you don't understand), I assume what you're saying is you can't enjoy this show if you're expecting things like story

Maybe if they actually had grown some in the past episodes your argument would be valid. But they haven't, and it isn't.

If it weren't for the fact that The Following is still getting Ds, I'd wonder if AV Club hadn't suddenly become guilty of grade-fixing. I've been watching Looking all season, because I thought hey, maybe HBO would finally crack the code and write a show about "teh gayz" that wasn't painful to watch and that didn't use

They're made from cocaine!

If you cut coverage of Cougar Town, you'll never drink wine in this town again.

I hear she plays a mean Frank Underwood.

NBC is just catching the zombie virus thing. Not the Walking Dead zombie virus, but the "you can never truly cancel that which has been canceled" thing that started with Patient Zero, The Killing.

True, but Bad Brains, Minor Threat and the best (and only) gourmet South American steak restaurant located inside a gas station in the continental US does.

Wait, SF doesn't know what peri-peri chicken is? And there are no gourmet gas stations? Watching Looking from my couch in Washington DC tonight makes me think I'm not only in the gayest city in America, but also the hipest.

It's actually the second episode in a row to use a John Grant song.

In the rank of scenes that are Twin Peaks-y, that final cut earns five damn fine cups of coffee—and hot—with a bonus log.

Maybe the sheep gave up on him.

Because everyone keeps telling you that this is the greatest show EVER, and discussing nothing but it Monday at the office, despite you knowing in your heart of hearts that it's not even half as good as other BBC-related productions like Sherlock and Orphan Black.

I thought people hate Phish because the shows are so long and there are never any bathroom breaks.

I think you've pretty much nailed on the head why I dislike this show so much so far. The scene where Beth goes to the grocery store, has the car accident, and then ends up talking to the priest is the show at its absolute best. If the show were nothing but those moments, it would be terrific.
