Tranq renewal. It's consensual.

I don't know how anyone could claim the most cookie-cutter pilot in the history of television has a "distinctive point of view." I can only assume you were using that phrase as a diversity-for-its-own-sake buzzword that you didn't really mean.

My hope is that she'll evolve into a critic, period, because the 19-year-old-trying-to-impress-her-Women's-Studies-professor diatribes tend to tell me very little about the actual merit of any series she has the unfortunate duty to review.

Second season is the best. It quickly reached a point where it became very self-aware and started repeating things that had gotten reactions from the audience. Very catch-phrasey.

"What are you doing?"

What happens to the body? His clothes? When he dies in front of Abe, what does Abe see? The body disappearing in a puff of smoke? I have general fantasy-is-bullshit objections to this conceit, but if you're going to go there, you can't simply pretend the duh-obvious questions don't need immediate explaining.

Bank fraud? Maybe she's learned to cover her tracks better.

If they center the show on a stupid idea that's realistically doomed to immediate failure — in addition to Cameron's insipid no-such-thing-as-bosses management style, the market for their service basically doesn't exist in 1984 — then the creative team really is as horrible as the viewpoint implied by the finale…

Among people with taste?

Was hoping for an answer to "How often do you groom your cat?"

If there were one thing I could change about both Bill Lawrence multi-cams, it would be the way both grasp at any justification to let their dorky male leads sing.

If there's one thing "Louie" needs, it's to waste 5% of its running time on a really grating song.

It's not like this is the first time Jack got a silent clock to end a season, so I don't imagine we're to make anything of it. Hell, the final shot mirrors the one of Jack being choppered out of Sangala at the end of "Redemption," which—if memory serves—he survived, despite its silent clock.

To create a coherent narrative arc, episodes should be watched in something approximating this order:

The use of the r-word is bad enough

We have a warrant for the arrest of Jesus of Nazareth. Are you Jesus of Nazareth?

Might I invite you to join her?

only if you value plot above everything else
