Probably the closest to my own assessment of the pilot. It was good, but it's not the new coming, is it? Yet, everything I read about it makes it sound like a revelation. Which it certainly is not. Well researched, decendly acted and a fully realized sense of dread and hurry. But the bad parts (like the horrible…

That scene in the church where she talked so loudly about O.J. and her ex-husband and all that stuff made me cringe. Utterly clumsy exposition, if I've ever seen one.

Season Two, apparently, will be about Hurricane Katrina and the aftermath. Not sure how I feel about this since there already is an excellent, great, great series out there called Treme that deals with this subject matter and I can't imagine ACS getting even close to this sort of writing. The premiere was good, I…

The camera work was a little too restless for my taste and the zoom-ins eventually became ridiculous (one of the final shots was a zoom-in to the spot were the car was missing and right then another one into the opposite direction to Schwimmer and the rest of the gang and how they would stare at the blank spot). But…

I've noticed that they do that with some shows, to make them available for free for a certain amount of time and then suddenly, without any warning, want to charge you for the episodes. That happend to me while watching the second season of Justified. All of the episodes were free and when i got around to the season…

I agree with the thematically consistent part. But serialized? I must say I haven't really picked up on that.

I honestly have no idea where that vendetta against him came from and I've only ever noticed that that seems to be a thing now ever since the revival came up and only here on these boards (admittedly, this is the only place where they talk about pop culture stuff that I hang around).

Yeah, that's really the dark side of television's golden age - people simply cannot watch everything and they especially can't watch everything live. Manhattan was a very good show but so much about it's premise, setting, subject matter was made for mainstream audiences not to pay attention to it. At least we got two…

Oh, look at me, talking to Hollywood actors and stuff.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooouh… SNAP!

I think it's an inhouse production but don't hold me to it. And while you're right that a network would preferably keep the shows they fully own sometimes - as is most likely the case with The Grinder - a renewal for the lower rated one of the two might not be justifiable. I mean, last night's numbers just got it and…

Also, I just saw on wikipedia that they got Alejandro G. Iñárritu to direct it? Holy Moly, that's… interesting. Anyway, thanks for the response. Too bad, I hope they do her justice though.

All they need to do is to dig a deep-enough hole, put some twigs and leeves over it and place a cheesecake on top of it. It's really simple, the Coyote never failed.

Does anyone know if Zooey Deschanel will be back when New Girl airs its 100th episode next week? I guess not, but it would be a real shame if she missed such a landmark.

All of FOX's Tuesday comedies are doing pretty badly in the ratings. Which is a shame because this is a legitimately good line-up. My guess is New Girl and B99 are safe for the next season. Out of the the two newcomers Grandfathered has probably the better chances of getting renewed if only because it's doing not as…

I think there goes a loooong, long way between Lucas and Carter, in that Carter ran his show for nine seasons of which at least the first five or six are universally acclaimed as being some of the best seasons ever produced for television, whereas Lucas has written and directed exactly one acclaimed movie from his own…

He said 'acclaimed'.

I heard Joss Whedon bash The X-Files a number of times. Don't ask me for a direct link to an interview but one of his complaints was 'no character development'. I find it odd that he would cite that as an influence, then.

This was fun, funny, charming. It didn't strike me as brilliant but I agree with most commenters here that you could insert this episode seamlessly into season six and aside from the actor's ages nobody would know it was made 15 years later.

Everything about Mr Robot feels like I should be loving it and yet I end up rolling my eyes everytime they filmed the actors completely out of center. And that annoys the crap out of me. I usually find myself admiring unique camera work and I think I know what they were going for here but to me this just feels forced…
