But a prequel to Salton Sea.

You think that sounds crazy and but you probably forgot that David Lynch cast Billy Ray Cyrus in Mulholland Dr. And that was before Billy Ray's comeback on his daughter's TV show, no less. Tom Arnold in a Twin Peaks sequel sounds about right.

If a SWAT team shows up at your residence and deploys and you start shooting at them, they will shoot to kill. If you're not lying prone on the ground, hands behind your head, you will likely be shot. If you have a gun in your hand in this scenario, you will be shot. That's exactly what happened.

You may have missed the part where the minute they left their vehicles they were being shot at, and every man they encountered was armed and heading towards them, which implies intent in hostile scenario. Not a single male individual they shot was surrendering.

To be fair to Peter Berg, he directed two episodes of Leftovers, but he didn't write them. And Jason Katims was the showrunner on FNL, not Peter Berg. Berg shot the pilot of FNL and produced, but it's not the same as running the TV series. Pete probably isn't to blame.

If it turns out she's making up her own questions because she has some crazy conspiracy theory, then it might be interesting.

The entire episode was weirdly oft-putting as opposed to interesting, but I'm still not sure if that was because I every time I saw snow it ruined the spell for me. Only a week later? Oh REALLY.

I wondered if the police station sold pizza slices on Friday and Saturday nights to partying teens, because that toaster was about 5x more involved than the typical toaster oven and microwaves that occupy most kitchnettes. I'm just glad we solved the mystery of bagel in this episode.

Hey Snidely, Dick Cheney just called wondering why you're trying to steal his thunder. Quit bogarting the dickhead, dude.

Well aren't you special? You're right. Anyone who dies on the job has only to blame themselves. No one can possibly be held responsible for the death of their own employees. Godspeed, Snidely! GODSPEED.

I pray to God that AVClub's IT staff takes it upon themselves to sling hellfire and brimstone upon the IP address of this dickhead spammer for firsting this particular news story, and that this spam bot is sent to the bowels of hell forever as a result. Make it happen, AVClub, because this sort of spammy shit on…

Before the internet, the idea that someone would include spoilers in the title of an article or on the lead photo for an article wasn't that big of an issue. TV Guide and magazines took a week to come out. Your local newspaper rarely devoted a next-day article to whatever happened on TV last night. One of the rare…

Yes, it's unfair to disagree with the critic, isn't it? Their opinions are perfect and can't be disagreed with. I agree with you that some of the response to these two articles has been ugly, but I'm also tired of seeing any disagreement to these opinions categorized as just "angry guys." That is as sexist, demeaning,…

Ugh, Gunny and his fucking lighter. Kills me every time I think of that damn scene. So good, so sad.

That's not a problem unless you let it be. The Pacific couldn't be structured in some zesty, easy-to-digest narrative like BOB because there wasn't a single company that made it through the Pacific theater like Easy. The Pacific was a meat grinder that literally ate men up by the thousands and spit them out. The…

A fighter like that wouldn't wear a helmet. You can't do spin moves or flips without a helmet potentially falling off or slipping, and it will also restrict your ability to turn your head in a fight. If you're going to fight a guy who can cleave people in two and crush their skull with his bare hands, a helmet seems…

He volunteered for the fight, and was killed in a trial by combat. The gods have spoken, and revenge would be ill-advised as it would go against the laws of both gods and men.

It would have been had he just killed him when he had the chance. It was the monologuing that killed him.

Much along the lines of chopping off a thieve's hands, or cutting out a liar's tongue, or putting murderers to death. Because thank god the justice system is perfect everywhere, all the time.

I don't think you read things 1 and 2.
