I keep hearing the Twin Peaks comparison but I didn’t see it watching Wayward Pines pilot episode. I basically got a Picket Fences mashed up with The Prisoner vibe from it.

It is hyper-’90s, super representative of the style at the time. I rewatched the first season with my partner last year, and you either have to be willing to accept that and power through (I mean, one of my favorite TV shows is Highlander, so I have a tolerance built up), or actively enjoy ‘90s television.

This would be brilliant.

Comparing Michael Scott to Phil is an insult to Michael Scott.

I think that becomes a doubly interesting question, since "The Good" was the last of the three films made. So *if* Leone decided that it was a prequel, he knew that he had already shown what happens "after", and that the ending he chose for "The Good" doesn't line up neatly with its "sequels".

It was definitely deliberate and he mentioned it on the Criterion DVD (somewhere...probably the commentary track). I forget the exact reason though, but 'unease' wasn't it. It was something like the concept of making a screen large enough to read was foreign...we already have these perfectly good small screens, just…

I know you're supposed to remedy converging lines for architectural photography, but I'm so used to seeing them converge that it actually looks strange when it's done properly. My brain makes it look like they're just converging the opposite direction!

You should definitely check out his films— El Topo, Holy Mountain and Santos Sagria are my personal favorites. So influential and just artistically bold and out there!

I feel that probably happens more often than we all think.

I've been watching some of the earlier seasons on Netflix and I've noticed that the walkers are pretty spry early on, like the one that manages to scale the fence after Rick and his new buddies have coated themselves in guts. And a few of them seem more cognitively aware in the beginning, like Morgan's wife and the…

Seriously. The zombies are about as threatening as some mildly irritated livestock. They can't use door handles, they can't climb ladders or out of holes, the walk right into sharp objects, they also just walk toward anything remotely moving, etc. I mean, why not just lure them to the ocean and feed them to the sharks…

The lack of editorial input is actually a valid complaint here because the article has quite a few glaring errors. This isn't just an instance common its/it's or there/their/they're mistakes, which is all that comic refers to. For a site that tends towards professional writing, articles like this appear even less…

Yeah, anytime ANYTHING seems to go right for any two characters on this show (ESPECIALLY two main characters ) you know you're about to get your stomach wrenched out of your nose.

Also - this post? Claimed. Go discuss elsewhere.

Giraffes are highly social, recognize members of their herd and enjoy complex relations with them. It may well have considered the man to be someone it recognized. Beyond that? You'd have to know both of them in order to tell more.

As far as "facial recognition across species" goes, I recall a study they did with wild birds outside in a particular area, and they demonstrated the birds could easily distinguish between different humans and would use danger calls to warn off other birds when they saw "the bad human".

I certainly think that's how she sees herself and there's an element of that I agree with. But what I think Carol comes to understand is that a mercy killing to her may not be the reality of how others experience it. Lizzie truly thought she killed Mika with good intentions too but it wasn't so to everyone else…

What I also liked was that given all the tension of how Tyrese would react if/when he found out that Carol — acting against what she felt was a threat — killed Karin. And yet here he is, complicit in the killing of Lizzy, agreeing that Lizzy might be a threat to both of them and *definitely* was a danger to Judith.

Melissa McBride was so fantastic this episode and I think that Carol's arc is probably the most well done of any character in the series. There weren't any contrivances, just difficult often unflattering and always heartbreaking circumstances cultivated over time. So I believed everything she was going through. I…
