Somewhere, Pilot Viruet's nose begins to itch.

Here, have an upvote.

Hey! As you know, merely upvoting demonstrates a great amount of restraint on my part.

I'm really just here to upvote all of the positive comments about Spartacus.

At least watch the two Beginnings eps, a two-parter that can be watched on its own.

I'm excited and not so excited at the same time. So much frustration to put up with, hopefully there's less of that this year.

Yes. Do that.

Yup. Silversun Pickups and The XX. I first heard about the former from Aisha Tyler's podcast so…appropriate.

That would be a great idea for a series. Wallflower better get on it.

The yelling around the kid was driving me crazy, then they actually acknowledged it. Yay self-awareness.

Yes, yes he does.

This guy gets it. OK, technically, some people like Laurel. But they are in the overwhelming minority. And I don't mind that unless they think she's better than any of the other female characters, in which case…

Nope.

Joel just said "the darkest timeline" on The Soup and now I'm sad.

That's the worst. I hope her name is Patrice.

No, but individual articles do.

And a testament to their appreciation of the value of older actresses. Her performance is so compelling.

This show will have to go down as one of the best politically-minded shows, what with everything involving prison politics, mental illness, race, homosexuality, class, etc. They don't deliver everything perfectly, but they really try.

I would love to read a breakdown of how well (or poorly) the show handles the psychological aspects of the characters. I haven't been sure how realistic it is because I don't know much about personality disorders.

And I loved that her loving parents were also flawed. They were trying way too hard on her behalf, alienating the host mom. It reminded me a lot of Max-related scenes on Parenthood in the best way.
