There's not even a question. Bow before the altar of Andrea Romano.

The pacing is pretty much the best on TV right now. Nothing is expected, and nothing is pointless, and everything pays off when you don't see it coming. From the clock bug in season 1 we had almost forgotten about, to the Paige reveal — which not only doesn't happen at the end of the season, it doesn't happen at the…

I'm sad to hear that Arkady is being frozen out by the Centre. He's the best boss on TV! He'd never attack a poor, defenseless Mail Robot, even if a leak turned up at the Rezidentura under his watch.

When a quiet scene between two parents and their teenage daughter is the most tense and gut-wrenching scene on TV in 2015, you've got yourself one hell of a show.

I read this comment wondering if The Americans is the show for you.

They're overextending themselves, as a stealthy metaphor for the Soviet Union in its final years.

I CAN STILL HEAR YOU SAYING

"Those of you who volunteered to be injected with praying mantis DNA, I've got some good news and some bad news. Bad news is we're postponing those tests indefinitely. Good news is we've got a much better test for you: fighting an army of mantis men. Pick up a rifle and follow the yellow line. You'll know when the…

Don't feel the need to keep making the same arguments over and over. They're not listening.

"And second: look what I can do. Ha ha!"
"But what does that have to do with—"
"No, no— he's got a point."

Nestor Carbonell should be more famous. He's charismatic, very funny, and has a really magnetic, idiosyncratic onscreen presence. Also, he's really pretty. Those eyes!

The recent stoush between the Pope and Donald Trump made it perfectly crystal clear that "sacred religious views" always lose in a battle with fear- and anger-based politics. The right wing uses religion to prop up its already existing fear and hatred; the moment religion becomes inconvenient (Il Papa dissing Trump,…

This guy is fucking evil. End of story. No room for doubt. The guy is a piece of shit, and Sony is complicit.

Sounds like my dream casting of Christoph Waltz as Ant-Man is actually coming true!

Thank god Teller of the Fucking Truth has come to set us straight. And we can trust your word, because you tell the Fucking Truth.

Men afraid that they're vulnerable to a false rape accusation because it could randomly happen to them at any time should, if anything, feel MORE solidarity with women, who are vulnerable to random attacks by men that could happen to them at any time. As irrational and moronic as it is, it should be a wake-up call,…

I said this on AVCAD as well, but I might as well say it here:

While I take your word on the first part, the second part is a particularly thin attempt at straw-manning me. Arguments should be attacked, and I've never suggested otherwise. But not people, unless they are themselves cynical, aggressive or mean-spirited, and Sava's shown nothing or the sort. If you don't think a lot…

I know two openly atheistic rabbis. Progressive Judaism is… fluid.

I'm 99% positive that I would never be comfortable with rape play of any sort. Leaving 1% of doubt for the inevitable amazing, sweet, devastatingly beautiful girl who jives with me personally and "has always really wanted to try it", which I would probably want to do to make her happy and then feel horrible for a few…
