I still find it amazing how Sonia can give an episode an A- and then proceed to shit all over it. I mean, she compliments it a bunch, but every time she does it comes off as "well I GUESS it was good".

This show has turned into an incredible slow-burning character study. Marco gets a commendation while someone gets murdered because of him. Meanwhile literally every many in Sonya's life lets her down and then she has to go deliver bad news to former parents. That stuff is fucking mint, only the best shows pull that

If it was really just a timed exclusive, why wouldn't Sony immediately come out and say so? Squeenix and crystal dynamics might be bound by some agreement but sony certainly wouldn't be.

I love the dichotomy of symbolism on this show. You have something like Eleanor feeding a tiny acorn to this mysterious caged man which to me is sort of like the show winking at the viewer about how we only get these little morsels from the show on a weekly basis, then you have Fausto literally emerging from the

At least Todd would talk about what actually happened in the show and not how the show wasn't for him because "white people".

It's actually one of the few things about the capitalistic nature of the US (and even here in Canada) that's tolerable to me. Incentives to minimize tax exist for all businesses. Naturally a business the size of CBS, as you said, has more negotiating power, but while my knowledge of US tax law is limited (for

There's no precedent to set, it's the way it's always been. The way I see it one side over the other has to provide the incentive. It's like you're telling me that if California offered those tax breaks it would have been fine because they would be creating jobs as opposed to simply keeping them. To offer a tax break

Fausto just chilling in the back of a yacht in a giant garage is up there with Red Reddington hanging out in a Synagogue for an entire episode for most ridiculous non-sequitur setting of the year.

What are we complaining about here exactly? Businesses pay taxes on profit (hypothetically) and it's in their best interest to reduce that expense for their shareholders. As you pointed out CBS has a lot of profit, and tax credits means they'll have to give up less of it. For the state it's beneficial because it means

Whether movie stars can still carry movies is an entire discussion, but are you seriously suggesting that a Hollywood production with hundreds of millions on the line should cast monk, dr bishir or cousin Maebe in their blockbuster as Moses and Ramses because righteous indignation on the internet?

I don't get the impression that you're rooting for the show. It seems more like you're resigned to it being mediocre. I instead see a really good base for things to come. I felt like this episode really did a strong job of justifying a lot of what happened in the premiere, more than last week's. While that might not

How can you be a professional reviewer and suggest that three episodes is enough to determine what a show's ceiling is for quality based on a few problems that it hasn't ironed out? A lot of shows go through a lot of growing pains in their first season and nothing here suggests that this couldn't be fixed going

I would be pretty mad if the pretty girl who spends the entirety of her screen time running around in a low-cut tank top wound up dead. Linda can stay dead though.

Think about it. Right now a Chinese man is basically starting World War 3 between his people and the Americans, while the Russians are shooting at CIA agents on British soil. This season is gonna end with everyone launching nukes at each other,.

I don't think the premiere was as bad as maybe three quarters of last season. In fact it was fairly decent in comparison. King almost succeeded in writing it out of its rut.

I heard he's playing the Hulk's penis.

No silent clock = I have to see a body next week to believe he's dead.

You had me at Malkovich, Malkovich.

Todd Barry describing his day needs to be like a show on Comedy Central. That was my favorite thing I've seen on TV in a while.

"
This week in “It’s all in Louie’s head”: Or it’s all in Jane’s head: The classmate that Jane attacked in the spring horse incident is portrayed by an adult actress. Fantastically absurd, and dwelled upon for the just right amount of time before the episode lets it go."
I'm fairly certain that wasn't a classmate but a
