I don't understand the complaints. Would the people who're complaining rather watch wrestling on a channel supposedly dedicated to science fiction? Sure, the current shows may not be "great," but they're definitely good and getting better. And they're infinitely preferable to the alternatives. And, yeah, I mean…

Definitely. The current crop of shows is really good. Maybe people should be encouraging Syfy rather than disparaging it and expecting the worst. From what I've read, the execs at Syfy realize that they missed an opportunity by focusing on wrestling (ugh!) and other crap, and in so doing alienated their core audience…

Yeah, I agree with you. 12 Monkeys started off kinda slow, but got really good by the end. I'm looking forward to season two. It should definitely be getting more attention than it has been.

I stopped watching this train-wreck, er, um, I mean, show about a third of the way into the first season, sooooo… there's no character that could possibly bring me to watch a second season. What could get me interested in watching it again would be, oh, I don't know, maybe raising the quality of the writing, and maybe…

This is not good news. The producers want to go back to the status quo of the original series instead of building on it. Let the characters grow and mature, and don't treat the audience like children who need the security blanket of the familiar. It's what I've feared since I heard about the new season: that the…

That opening scene with Elliot and Shayla was a real gut punch. Made all the worse because we know what everything depicted in those few short minutes will inevitably lead to. It was truly one of the most moving few minutes of tv in a long time…

There's no reason at all to bring Furiosa back for a sequel. Aside from The Road Warrior, the Mad Max films are stories about Max stumbling into somebody else's adventure. Max may be the titular hero, but he's usually only a reluctant participant. In other words, the Mad Max films should really be thought of as…

Yes, I agree with you. The low point of the character for me was her relationship with Troy, which I never got, and nobody seemed interested in at all. Even season 4 mostly ignored and glossed over this relationship, and finally brought it to a quick and merciful end.

The show addressed this. I don't remember exactly where this was, but I want to say maybe it was season 5, where Jeff tells Britta that when they first met she was smarter than him. I agree with you, in season 5 I think the writers tried to walk Britta's dumbness back a little bit, but season 6 seems to have continued…

Yeah, the only thing I haven't liked about the last few seasons is how Britta seems to have devolved. Going back and watching the first and second seasons, it's like night and day. About the third season, Britta started to get dumber and dumber. It's too bad, because all the rest of the characters seemed to have grown…

I realized during tonight's episode, where Zach went unseen and unmentioned for about the first 20 or so minutes, that he could disappear and nobody would notice or care. The Strain should do to Zach what Married… with Children did to Seven: have him simply gone, without anybody saying anything, and then, a few…

I thought we'd get through tonight's episode without an appearance by Zach. As soon as Nora mentioned his name, I got a sinking feeling in my stomach. That kid could ruin a funeral…

It had not occurred to me that anyone else was reading our exchange. Why would they? That you feel the need to mention that you didn't read what I wrote just serves to underline that you did indeed read it, and it was right on target. Of course, the denial on display here is starkly evident, as is the psychological…

"At this point I'm only replying out of my own amusement at how important it is to you to get the last word in.

I've been burned by Ridley Scott so often recently that I'm having a hard time mustering any enthusiasm for his upcoming films.

"God, I was worried there'd be this an episode devoted to tracking this fucker down."

Damn, that kid's annoying. I haven't read the novels, so I don't know what's going to happen, but I'm hoping Zach will get bitten by his mother at some point very, very soon, and disappear into the night, hopefully never to return.

Um, I don't think any of the women at the "whorgy" were "ingenues." I'm pretty sure they were seasoned professionals. Now, I've never planned an orgy, so I can't comment on the most efficient way to do so. But from what I saw, it seemed to be going about as well as you'd expect, not that I'd really know what to expect…

Not at all. I'm perfectly willing to concede that you're an asshole, and I'm perfectly willing to accept that you take pride in being an asshole—although why anyone would be proud of being an asshole is beyond me. So, I don't see how agreeing with someone can in any way be considered "trolling." What I do find…

So, let's see if I got this right. Assholes, of which you are an exemplary specimen, are supposed to be intelligent, and yet decide to use that intelligence in the dumbest way possible, that is, by talking shit, and not even intelligent shit, just the dumbest shit that wouldn't be out of place on a kindergarten…
