I think Lost's main legacy was opening the floodgates for heavily serialized TV shows. Serialized TV had already been experiencing a resurgence on cable, but Lost brought it to mainstream network TV and proved it could find a mass audience. The "mystery and mythology" aspect still gets aped, but considering Lost…

Uh I don't recall Lost being a continuous stream of product placement and ads… other than maybe for the Hawaiian Tourist Bureau.

"Johnny Depp as Sallah?" was penciled in at the bottom of the list.
In all seriousness they could do worse than Bradley Cooper.

I'm not gonna lie… I wasn't really looking at her crazy witch eyes for most of the episode (though wow that's a great description). The Nick and Jess thing seemed like the only thing the writers were actually confident about this season… every other character seems adrift.

Yknow that gets thrown around a lot, I'm not a parent so I can't legitimately comment on if it's worse to expose a kid to violence or sex.. But there was an interview I watched years ago from Michael Douglas of all people. He said that his kid was able to reconcile him killing somebody in a movie bc it was obviously…

The first one was a genuinely good (though definitely not great) movie. I can't defend the two sequels though, what with Michael Bay's "adult humor" and casual racism becoming as much of a centerpiece as CGI robots. I still remember a mother yelling and covering her kid's eyes in the row in front of me during the…

He had to make like 3 more movies before I stopped finding the weight loss jarring. But yea I'm sure he would object to the notion that chubby guys should stay that way.

Well since the reviewer was busy begrudgingly giving the episode a B+ in 10 passive aggressive paragraphs (say that 5x fast lol), I'll throw out some speculation..

Days of Future Present and Fantastic Four vs the X-Men were both terrible storylines.

If they want to ensure a Season 6 just put Alison Brie in a live action version of Annie's Shipwreck costume for the rest of the season.

I think it'd be funny if they reveal Shauna has some secret revenge plan against Leslie.. Like if she had a great life until she interviewed Leslie back in season 1, which led to her meeting Mark, which led to her downward spiral. So now she blames Leslie and plots against her, her schemes all being completely…

I dunno why but my favorite bit was the visual gag of the Dean's shirt - one side like a foot shorter than the other from all the letters he tried sending Jeff.

I'll wait for the inevitable combo pack when the main game comes out.

With the lines blurring between Disney Animation Studios and Pixar, it's not that surprising Pixar is becoming a sequel factory. The top creative guys at Pixar grew up idolizing Disney's animation house. Now they are in charge of it and they want to re-establish it as the industry leader. Unfortunately that means…

Worth it just to see his partner in a Slave Leia costume. He's in his 70s right? After a lifetime of typing random crap on the Internet the rest of us should be so lucky. Still unless somebody else actually passed out I imagine he'll be the first guy eliminated.

Truth.

I think on a wider scale no it's not worth it.. Arrested Development really only succeeded in confirming that Michael Cera is the complete opposite of funny and surprising us all that Portia de Rossi looks like a completely different person 10 years later. Most likely the fans that rallied behind Family Guy after it's…

Yea I pretty much only clicked on this bc of the whole "F" thing. I too think some shows are more deserving of columns. Syfy's Being Human stood out in recent weeks.. the show's coming to an end and the last few episodes have been some of the series best but AV Club stopped reviewing after the season 3 premiere.

Seems kind of harsh, but I'm pretty invested in Carol's do-over at parenthood. If you already hated the girls I doubt this episode could change your opinion.

I bet she shops at the same hat store as Joan Watson on Elementary.
