Harry Shearer is (was) part of the main cast. This quote is from Maggie Roswell.

Yeah, it's totally a realtor name. The use of "Hell's Kitchen" in a public speech just felt off for me in the context of fundraiser. Would Wilson Fisk, who wants to remake the city and has remade himself want to call it that still?

I haven't finished the series yet, but I'm far enough to have found it super weird that Fisk calls it Hell's Kitchen during the fundraiser. Kept expecting him to call it Clinton.

Now I also remember taking too long in episode one in the diner, one of the deaths for Lee is Kenny looking at you and closing the door instead of risking himself trying to help you. Might be seeing that colored my read of the scene as well.

Naw, the cannibals in episode two were—at least for me. What do you mean I can't visit my friend repeatedly for no reason? I thought it was an especially poor reveal.

I read the Larry situation differently, that he was still alive but hadn't turned yet and Kenny jumped the gun? Larry was an asshole, but am I the only one that read it that way?

The gameplay variety has vastly improved since Far Cry 2, but the themes and stories seem to be really losing it. Too self-aware to be Assassin's Creed or CoD, not fearless/shameless enough to be Rockstar or Saint's Row. Far Cry 3 was the worst compromise, look at all the tropes we know, we're going to use them on…

Everything on the CW adds up to White Wolf World of Darkness campaigns. Someone running that network was a big fan.

Three Feet High and Rising is having it's 25th anniversary. It'll never be, since the samples will never clear.

I totally agree with you on those.

Depending which ones you're talking about, Sons of Anarchy also has the opposite—a death that felt like it should've happened earlier, but everybody just liked working with each other too much.

PBS under the Masterpiece label. It's very light, soapy, not that good. Pretty people in pretty costumes, so if period stuff is already your thing, it's one of those things you can leave on and find you've watched the whole thing. If it's not, it's probably a pass.

That's some damn faint praise about theater. Maybe the fact he's been the artistic director of the Old Vic since 2003 means that the movie acting has actually been his second job? Hell, not Olivier is meant as an insult but is basically not an insult to anyone.

I've always liked their Blue Moon better. Too many new words to be a cover maybe.

Confession: I have watched only the pilot and this episode, so you know what the writers might do much more than I.

So, other than part of the pilot and glimpses this is the first full episode I watched. Obviously, not really my thing (though it definitely seems improved), but:

I'm astonished you survived your high school, what the hell was going on there that you had to watch it three times?

Just feeling like mentioning, after reading that "pedophilic quasi-romance in The Professional" line, that when one of those Polanski-is-awesome-why-you-hating? petitions was making the rounds, Besson was one Frenchman who didn't sign. This being around the same time as Taken, it wasn't a surprise. Maybe you don't…

That assumes that they would be paid even when it is collections of his writing, also assuming new fans search out a specific creator's take as opposed to the new Guardians of the Galaxy comics in the stores. Even if they find it, it's probably back issue bins. It's embedded in the nature of work-for-hire and comics…

Does this count if there never was a clean version that you previously but were predisposed to like something out of cultural duty and then discovered one or two scenes of horribleness? I'm thinking of being contractually obligated to like Audrey Hepburn and seeing Breakfast at Tiffany's or John Hughes and Sixteen…
