This episode was written by next years showrunner Scott Gimple. While he wrote the previously excellent episode "Clear", I feel like if it takes this direction it's going to be all over the place. There's no consistency between episodes, they seem to just jump from one character to the next disjointedly as if the…

I agree, the episode felt really disjointed because of the Farm parts which probably should've been left as a DVD extra. Adding a whole family so close to the finale was ridiculous  not to mention the many failed gags (Andy and Kevin, dirt in the face, laced cupcakes) this episode tried. Watching Parks & Rec after the…

Rick didn't want to have to go war and it shows with his (strange) contemplation at the end. At least he was forthright to Hershel, I wonder if he'll tell Michonne. The preview makes it look like they're going to war next episode, but the Walking Dead loves to stall big events until finales. It'll be surprising if…

For some reason I have a feeling they might kill of Maggie in the finale. Not that it's a good idea, but because it'd be shocking.

I'm in my early twenties and loathe the experience of going to the theatre to see a film. There was a girl in the seat next to me who was texting on her Blackberry for over an hour during a film with the brightness set to high. When I finally politely asked her to stop she acted offended and replied, "My phone is…

Your first paragraph rang especially true of my experience after seeing the film. There was something very moving about it that I couldn't pinpoint after the credits rolled. Some parts felt slow, the characters were selfish and yet they managed to affect me by the end. The score definitely helped achieve that effect.

Fiona Apple, Alanis Morrisette and Jewel (plus virtually any good female singer/songwriter) ran circles around her before they even hit 20. Her lyrics and conduct in interviews are embarrassing.

I couldn't respond to your other comment, but believe you can have a rational hate for her. What she's revealed of her personality is pretty revolting and bully like. It's not fair to compare them, but as a big Fiona Apple I can't help but be blown away that she wrote Tidal at 18. Especially when compared to anything…

I always had this irrational dislike of Anne Hathaway for some reason (but started to get over it after Dark Knight Rises). There's like a try hard, "Please like me" attitude with everything she does. Her Oscar speech seemed fake and pretentious to me, especially the end bit about world peace. Maybe that's just her…

Taylor Swift is obsessively fixated on relationships and playing the victim (while bashing all of her exes in songs/interviews). She can't even take a joke at her own expense, she's like a high-school bully stuck in a 23 year olds body. Alanis Morrisette and Fiona Apple ran circles around her before they even hit 20…

23 is six years out of highschool, most people are finished University by then. She needs to grow up and stop playing the victim (plus the whole 14 year old gossiping thing).

It's strange how Glen Mazzarra came to the series and made it better near the end of last season and now he's being replaced by someone doing the exact same thing. Will there be a new showrunner each year?

I wouldn't mind if it borrowed a page from Lost and had some character flashbacks to give some better insights into the characters. Someone upthread suggested an episode revolving around how the Governor lost his family as an example. At least then there'd be more of a connection to them than just their misery.

I thought he did (?) There was a person in white who he saw, then he lowers the binoculars, puts them back up and the person is gone. Unless it was a walker.

In addition to the attack (and Michonne's reveal) I kept waiting for Glenn or Maggie to tell her what he did to them but it never came. Andrea's decisions don't make any sense to me, she just keeps ignoring the truth int the dumbest ways.

I'm more disappointed that Paul Thomas Anderson was snubbed in that category than Affleck. I enjoyed Argo, but it felt like a fairly standard (albeit slick) heist film.

I honestly didn't find SLP to be that romantic (compared to standards in the genre). Maybe it had to do with my state of mind at the time but I found it contained more of a mixture of comedy with deep emotional sadness at its core.

I found Chastain's performance was far too muted to be worthy of an award. She's been better in other films. My vote goes to Jennifer Lawrence, especially because of the emotional scene where she's rattling off game winning numbers to a heavyweight like DeNiro at the age of 22. She has an amazing future ahead of her.

I feel at this point the Walking Dead has marked its turf as a pulpy, comic book like show with some nice cinematography. It doesn't seem to be striving for the caliber of other AMC shows, but it still has good production. That shot of Michonne running from the waist down with her sword hitting the grass was awesome.
