"August" was literally the first rock album I ever really loved, but none of CCs' subsequent albums ever really did that much for me. I wouldn't even put it down to any one thing in particular like being "too commercial" or whatever, they just weren't as appealing or relateable for whatever reason. I saw them in…

I'm pretty sure that, as a 9- or 10-year-old who was actually trying to win the damn game, I didn't find the repeated frustration or the fact that Arthur was in his underwear particularly amusing, though obviously it's funny in retrospect. I don't think I ever got past the third world without using a GameGenie. (I…

I don't remember that scene, but I'd argue that Jimmy/Saul facilitated his share of violence and other harmful behavior by using illegal methods to cover for his clients and even suggesting having Badger and later Jesse killed.

Regarding "you destroyed our family" - do Jimmy and Chuck have any family besides each other? I gather that their parents are both deceased and that Chuck and his ex never had children, but are there any aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. in the picture? And was there a sister mentioned at one point of am I imagining things?

I think you both have a point, and I also get a little tired of all the antihero schtick in modern culture. The one thing I would say is that I think the real tragedy here is that Jimmy might have been on his way to being a better person in Season 1 of BCS, and Chuck unwittingly foreclosed that possibility by stabbing…

It's possible, but I think it's more likely that Jimmy decides he wants nothing more to do with the McGill name because he's so angry with Chuck and/or he agrees to stop practicing law under his real name as some sort of deal with Chuck.

At this point I'm mostly watching TWD out of curiosity and the "it's like a car wreck and I can't look away" factor, so I suppose I shouldn't really expect to "like" it most of the time. But I still have to ask, what was the point of this season?

What's weird is that it does seem to acknowledge them, but then it just sort of forgets about them. They do show how Rick's judgment isn't always right, but it never actually costs him in terms of his standing as the group's leader or the extent to which others will listen to him (except Spencer, I guess).

When Shiva came running into the frame, I asked myself, "OK, is this supposed to be funny?" - I mean, a freaking *tiger ex machina*? And when Ezekiel gave his "inspiring" speech from horseback, I immediately thought of Aragorn's "but it is not this day!" speech from Lord of the Rings, but if it was actually supposed…

I think I'm going to run with my partly-tongue-in-cheek theory from last week that Negan is really just a troll who doesn't even care that much if his behavior gets him killed as long as it's all LULZ HILARIOUS. Now that there's no internet where he can post offensive memes and write "U MAD BRO?" fifty times a day,…

Maybe TWD is actually one of those malfunctioning holodeck simulations from Star Trek. It might explain how the characters keep running into each other even though they repeatedly split up and generally wander all over the place.

I'm almost starting to see Negan as sort of like the Joker in Batman or some other "chaotic evil" character - he genuinely finds all the horribleness of the Walking Dead universe hilarious and just wants to screw with people and make it as awful as he possibly can, possibly not even caring that much if his behavior…

I kind of expected Sasha to die by the end given the actress's other commitments and the fact that they were spending so much time on her. Maybe she'll still end up getting killed next week.

I sometimes wonder how TWD's version of humanity made it out of the trees in the first place without either (1) freaking out and beating each other to death for no reason, or (2) falling on their heads and cracking their skulls open.

Fair enough, and I'm sure I don't have as solid a memory when it comes to TWD and its characters as some viewers. The one thing I would say is that this is where the slow pace with all the "cutaway" episodes can be counterproductive - we have to go back quite a ways (in terms of when the episodes aired, if not in…

I think maybe TWD's problem with its secondary characters is that they sometimes have these Big Moments that seem mostly arbitrary. Sasha's decision to lock Rosita out and go into the Saviors' compound by herself isn't exactly out-of-character, but it isn't exactly in-character either, because we haven't seen enough…

I don't think he's wishy-washy- he was actually pretty assertive about avoiding violence for a while. I just find it odd that he seemed to have turned so randomly violent and then was able to get back to a more controlled state of mind, as if he just decided, "Oh, well I guess killing everybody I see wasn't a good…

Psychologically speaking, what exactly is Morgan's deal anyway? I find it hard to believe that he could go from disturbed-and-grieving to psychotic-and-killing-anything-that-moves, find stability based on some inspirational chats with Eastman, and now be on the verge of losing it again. Can PTSD or other forms of…

It's especially odd when one of them gets the spotlight after a season or two of doing nothing particularly memorable. I think I had forgotten that Tara was even on the show until her episode with the group of women in the camp in the woods. And I'd also started to think that Rosita had been killed off and I'd just…

I wasn't even sure what he was staring at - I thought maybe there was something of significance to Rick on that partly-intact sign in the background and was trying to figure out what it was.
