Now's as good a time as any to get this off my chest: I always thought it kind of weird that Vincent Kartheiser was married to Alexis Bledel, because they kinda look like brother and sister. I mean I love them both to bits, but it can't be just me, right?

Colt looks foine as hell and will probably do the job adequately, because he's a dancer and it's Dirty Dancing, for chrissakes, not a remake of Citizen Kane. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills seeing y'all bitter queens shit all over this guy in this thread.

I think Broad City does nail the fun atmosphere a lot more, but Girls is *so good* at nailing a certain kind of entitled, young, white New York hipster. Think about all the party scenes, the Iowa Writers Workshop scenes, the fruit names.

Not according to my fanfiction he didn't.

Completely agree. Of all the earls we've seen, Kalf is by far the one that makes me go "he's a complete politician". I'm scared that Kalf will be the reason Lagertha eventually gets got.

It's interesting how Aslaug was introduced as this sort of ethereal forest princess, with her "it's all fated" attitude and her mythical heritage. But being in the village has made her a lot more human. Seeing her greed for power and annoyance with Ragnar has made her very interesting, imo.

I know, when I was watching that final scene I was just thinking how easy it would be for the crossbowmen to shoot him full of arrows and say he "died in the skirmish". With the entire camp dead Ragnar's gonna be pissed anyway, and Rollo basically just turned himself into a hostage.

I'm a big Domhnall Gleeson fan, but found him completely milquetoast in this movie. I thought that was sort of the point, which is why I'm surprised at the amount of people in the comments were rooting for Eilis and Jim to be together.

A young, gay Andy Garcia. Or maybe that's just who I want to play me in the cheap pay-per-view porn adaptation of my life.

(**Spoilers ahoy**) I think it's pretty clear that the two men in her life are just symbols of her old and new life. Irish boy was dependably wealthy and very boring. With Italian boy it will be more of a struggle because of the different cultures and lifestyle, but that's an utterly American story. In that sense the…

It's almost to the point where I feel most relaxed when a character is in mortal peril, because it's almost guaranteed to be a fakeout.

Here's to hoping that TWD continues a strong episode full of "showing, not telling" and here's to hoping that the writers keep trusting the audience to make the connections, instead of spelling it out for us.

I agree, it was an amazing TWD episode. Intensity, tension, action, and an opportunity to cut down how bloated the cast was becoming while simultaneously giving underused characters something to do.

"Xyell's byells, Trudyshka!"

I thought Funny Games (2007 version) was excellent, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a remake that apparently hewed extremely closely to the original. So I'd say, by all means do a remake if you can tell the story in a fresh way, but at the same time don't try to fix what ain't broken.

That seems to be an unfortunate trend in a lot of TV shows: you start with a character that has a funny set of traits, whom everyone loves because he's used sparingly. Then he becomes more popular and the writers/producers think: we need more Chang! (Or whoever the crazy character is.) Give the audience more of what…

Well, she did fuck Ted.

Andrea on TWD lasted *way* too long. It also adds insult to injury that comic book Andrea was so rad. I don't know why the writers thought we wanted to follow her misadventures for that long.

Omfg I love Peggy, but that's because I know tons of people like her. Also, she fundamentally loves Bobby and Luanne, so eh. ¿Escúchame?

I like Billy in his 'On the Street' series and he clearly has lots of great comedy ideas. But I agree, he never did mesh on P&R.
