Me!

Yep. If nothing else, the last 1/3 or so of season 2 through season 3 were really some of the most adventurous storytelling happening on television at that time.

Thanks for translating that, it was significantly different from the Den of Geek interview and well worth reading.

Wasn't Alcide left inside by Thomas, who told him not to open the doors for anybody? I'm pretty sure all of the police who were outside were gone the next day.

Yeah, you can't see the reservoir from The Helping Hand. What you see there is the existing town, which means major, major flooding.

Don't forget the actual best single, "Instant Crush", and the second-best single, "Doin' it Right".

It definitely falls on the "weird" side of things because seeing all of the stuff from the manga done with live actors is way more bizarre than it is scary. Especially with the middling (at best) level of special effects in the film.

It's only because of his involvement as an Executive Producer that I managed to give it 6 episodes. But man was it bad. At least Saga is around to remind us of his stellar writing skills.

No kidding. Sundance's three original shows in 2013 were all excellent, but a guy who worked on Under the Dome who isn't Brian K. Vaughan is a huge red flag.

Well done!

Sounds like someone at Disney was aware of the current anime trend started by Hetalia: Axis Powers of taking any idea anywhere and just transplanting it to a high school.

There are a ton of great set-pieces from the book they could still stage in the sequel. The decision to make them fast zombies is problematic, but not a deal-breaker to many of the bits from the book. Pitt talked in interviews about having to push the movie further away from that material in a studio-ordered attempt

Based on The Orphanage and The Impossible and the strengths of each movie, Bayona is much, much, much better-suited to this property than Marc Forster ever was.

I'm from the Detroit area originally and even I had to bail out of this show after 6 episodes. I at least stuck with Detroit 1-8-7 through its whole run.

Maybe you should've thought twice before using that album title, then, Mr. Carter.

I always love this feature, but I have to say I'm dismayed that Mike Doughty's album of Soul Coughing covers didn't make the list.

Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers fits that category for me.

I dunno, I've been an X-Men reader for nearly 25 years and I like (some of) the movies just fine. I've never particularly cared about seeing them replicate individual stories from the comic books. We're talking about a series where Chris Claremont's long-form storytelling set the template and continuity is a maze of

I'd like to use this comment to mention one of the more overlooked but great records of 1994: Therapy?'s Troublegum. Andrew Cairns and friends had just figured out how to cut their harsh punk/metal hybrid with a dose of melody. Songs like "Nowhere" and "Screamager" are awesome and catchy, and the rest of the album

It was only by listening to that cover that I figured out that the Proclaimers were saying "Surrender! Surrender! La da da dididada la dididadada." In the original song the word "surrender" sounds like gibberish.
