That was the first thing I thought of for this list, particularly the one scene where Mr. Wick directly campaigns to the Academy voters to give him an Emmy, with Mimi then telling him he didn't have a chance because his character was too cartoony.

He's pretty reliable when it comes to elevating roles. He had a supporting part in the Karl Urban "Dredd" movie that could have easily been a personality-free henchman role but he's able to turn the character into something genuinely menacing.

I've never understood how filmmakers can find it difficult to use Josh Holloway. He fits pretty much the same "type" casting agents are looking for as Timothy Olyphant, and that guy's never been lacking for work.

From my limited experience with the show, the problem I've always had is largely that, as Evil Lincoln pointed out, the writers treat Gibbs like some sort of holy god that is the perfect idealized human being. It's not so much that I have any moral qualms with this, more so that it just makes Gibbs an incredibly…

To be fair, it's hard to look at any picture of Emile Hirsch in SEAL gear without laughing at its ridiculousness.

Colin Farrell needs to star in a Coen brothers movie. They'd be able to use him perfectly.

Chris Brody will continue as a regular on the series, but only because the graphics department forgot to erase him from the season 4 opening credits.

My favorite episode of any podcast this year, without question.

Filmspotting is up to two votes this year! Maybe in 2014 it can aspire to - dare I say it - three!

Well of course the Commodore was a depraved rapist bastard, but as has well been established in this show, rich white men can pretty much get away with anything. Gillian doesn't have that luxury. Hell, the writers don't even extend her that luxury, considering she just got arrested for committing one measly murder.…

Well there were apparently 87 other people listening in on her confession, so that wouldn't seem to matter much.

I think that's most likely what he was getting at, seeing as he was pressuring her to sell the house earlier in the season and again at the beginning of this episode. With Jimmy dead, the only thing left of the Commodore is that house. And considering under Gillian's dominion it was turned into a brothel, taken over…

Well in that case this episode was far worse than an SNL featuring 14 Gilbert Gottfrieds.

Don't forget the great "Dylan McDermott or Dermot Mulroney" sketch, which I remember being pretty well received (and also another reason why I'd agree the Jamie Foxx ep as a whole is underrated).

I'm with Bagna, I thought Terry O'Quinn killed it as non-Locke. It was also a great way to bring the Jack/Reason vs. Locke/Faith conflict to a solid conclusion, which was always the show's strongest thematic through-line.

Fittingly enough, "Company Man" is essentially an episode of Lost done with characters from Heroes.

I feel that the show would be better off if Kate Mara and Kristen Connolly switched roles. Part of this may be because Connolly's part was already better realized on the page, so it's just been easier for her to impress me. But Connolly also seems like a more versatile actress than Mara, which is something the Zoe…

True, no normal man talks the way Adam talks. But that's because Adam isn't supposed to be normal.

I actually liked Tusk quite a bit. True, a good deal of that is probably because he was the first supporting character on the show who seemed like he's playing the game of politics with some level of skill after Underwood wiped the floor with everybody for 9 or so episodes*. But I think Gerald McRainey brings a nice…

Reitman's thing is doing readings of film scripts, so presumably he is doing a reading of the screen version of Glengarry.
