Turns out that the killer was actually only killing the victims' avatars in WoW.

Great terribleness, surely.

I actually read Wallace's article for the first time while I was on board my first cruise, which tainted my experience with a sense of ironic detachment. Good lobster, though.

I felt a little disheartened to see the unremarkably mediocre C- and C on episodes 1 and 2, but this D is here to remind us that yes, this will get worse.

How about we just leave the two symbols on all promotional materials and refer to it as The Film Formerly Known As Untitled Man of Steel Sequel?

I was 14 in the summer of 91 and I can attest to the veracity of your assertion.

It seems obvious that the entirety of this turd is somehow even worse than the sum of its parts.

I like that out of the 12 comments posted so far in this review, not a single one has mentioned anything that may have happened on screen last night, further reinforcing the idea that out of all the people who read Sonia's reviews, no one actually watches the show.

Sonia's "the grade for this series so far" sounds incredibly ominous.

Remember when Pilot aired and someone said something to the effect of "Hey, this is taking Under the Dome's timeslot, so anything in it has to be an improvement"?

I learned today that a good friend of mine was actually watching this non-ironically. It's a sad day.

I'll admit to sort of enjoying Elementary and not feeling the need to change stations or poke my eyes out when Community or Parks & Rec happen to be on TV, but looking at that list after reading Todd VanDerWerff's claim that "there are too many good TV shows" on Thursdays just feels… dirty.

"Well, because it’s on Thursdays, and there are only so many of us, and there are too many good TV shows right now."

Is that the drinking-game-ability scale of predictable action shows?

I know that, Dollhouse rules notwithstanding, only shows that "aired" in the US during 2013 are eligible for these lists. On the other hand, none of the Netflix original shows actually or technically "aired" in the US. With all this in mind, I'm going to add that the best new series that has yet to be mentioned by…

That is a good point and the fun aspect of historical fiction: filling in the gaps with stuff that probably did not but definitely could have happened - not stuff that directly contradicts well-documented things that did make the history books.

Ah yes. Cheap rye whiskey: the Russian drink of choice.

Like the tongue-in-cheek explanation for how history will forget how Tomas of Portugal died?

"[Unless] it wants to commit to a full-on alternate history"?
