    So what happens if you're sitting beside Nicole Kidman and she turns to you starts a conversation? Are you supposed to ignore her and sit there silently looking forward? I presume famous people allow themselves to stoop to the level of actually acknowledging non-famous people who are sitting beside them once in a

    Barbara Eden is still alive, isn't she?

    that's not a speedo. Seriously, it's not. More like boxer briefs than anything.

    "just deserts"? as opposed to "just jungles"?

    So full disclosure: you actually did just spoil the ending of Breaking Bad for me, but aside from a momentary beat of "should I feel angry about this?" I'm not really that worried about it. I don't think we should gripe about using "spoiler warning" when it's appropriate. I also don't think we should make too big a

    If they're not making any money off it, I don't see what the problem is.

    She's just kind of dull and doesn't display a lot of depth. She's pretty and talented, but I can't find someone without any flaws very interesting.

    Everyone (especially the queens themselves) is using the term "reading" incorrectly. It's not "reading" to simply criticize or critique the queens (which is what the judges do). The judge's aren't "reading" the contestants. They are judging. Reading involves a nasty put-down hidden inside a joke or witty comment.

    At this point I'm embarrassed that we all keep paying attention to this guy. I'm out.

    Why do we assume she has to give her permission for a clip of a movie she stars in to be shown? My limited understanding of how these things work tells me that it's not uncommon for an actor's likeness to be legally used in the context of the movie they contracted to do and they can't stop the studio from using it.

    Agreed. Too much forcing of characters to do things for the shock value, even if it made no sense to the character. What was the point of having a council if Myrtle turns on them so quickly, and for what? Their eyes? Why did she need to murder them both? That was one of a million WTF moments that slowly eroded my

    I hope they slow it down next season so things MATTER more and focus on telling a cohesive story that GOES somewhere all season. So much of coven felt made up as they went along, and a lot of it seemed lazy, convenient storytelling. Great cast, cool ideas, amazing MOMENTS, but when you push the boundaries too quickly

    Great, but the cities are still tiny tiny tiny tiny. I want a BIG offline city. One would expect that as the game develops over the years, the playground should be getting larger, not smaller.

    Scream and Shout was a fun, if flimsy, dance pop single, no better or worse than many of the tracks that are making young pop stars famous and rich right now. That said, I'm not surprised to hear Britney's new album is a dud. Will.i.am isn't exactly known for melodically challenging or classic tunes that stand the

    Sasha wasn't the character who was murdered, FYI. Two things I had trouble digesting: Why the governor would chop off Hershel's head when his sworn enemy Michone was 2 feet to the left. Made no sense at all. Inversely made no sense that Michone wouldn't have finished off the Governor with a head chop. Leaving him

    You've misspelled her name.  It's Kiernan, not Keirnan.

    "Mad Men is … rarely content to do straightforward story beats and character arcs when it could be wandering off into other territory."

    This would have meant more if you put the name of the bands in each heading.  Most of these people I don't recognize as solo artists.

    Andrea is worse than the worst.  PLEASE KILL OFF ANDREA!
