"Damn it Cohle, sometimes a man just wants to crack open a beer and ponder a locus of points equidistant from a given point without getting into a limiting case involving a given point at infinity. Calling a line a circle with zero curvature is the kind of nonsense that people in this town just don't want to hear…

The Yellow King stuff fizzled out in the first season (IMHO), it is probably best to just move on.

Fair enough. Wikipedia says she is too, so I guess I misinterpreted the trailer.

I think some people like the procedural stuff, which is fine, but not for me. I agree that with a shorter, tighter season you'd have a really great sci-fi conspiracy thriller.

I'm not sure she is. It's one of the guys in the ring fighting professionally isn't it? I think she's just "accessing his skills" in her scene, which seems set up to be a surprise to her adversary that she suddenly knows how to fight back.

Arguably, episodic TV is a better format for inconsistent creatives. (e.g., X-Files the show, vs. the X-Files movies).

The Matrix was an incredibly influential and important film though. Does Inception get made if the The Matrix never existed?

Tasha, I'm not sure why someone with an interest in Science Fiction TV would hold back on watching Babylon 5.

The cast changes are generally for the better, so there's that.

I binge watched the first three seasons this year, and yeah, the mostly self-contained procedural episodes are a slog.

I did that this year, and found the non-Root, procedural episodes a grind. Not that they weren't good, just not to my taste, which is why I stayed away from the show in it's first seasons.

It's not the money, the SC state legislature is genuinely conflicted about this whole "books" thing and is hoping reading and writing is just a fad, so that some day soon students can concentrate on core areas like abstinence education, Confederate hero worship and sports.

Parallel Earth, since Flash has hinted that Crisis is in its future. *

Superstore for people who thought Chuck had too much spy stuff.

Yes. Darkseid on Smallville as the big bad for the finale who never really showed up was a disappointment.

According to Whedon, it was inspired by the chemistry between the two of them in the recruitment scene from the first film. So, yes "out of nowhere" seems like just a failure to pick up on something a lot of other people already saw.

What is ridiculous about it exactly?

On iZombie: Of course a show set in Seattle should do an episode where a Frasier analogue gets murdered. It would be irresponsible not to.

This is not Men in Black. They couldn't even power up the alien tech until a few days before the invasion.

Everybody's the Comedian today.
