Never thought I'd miss a hand so much.

I realize now, after having written that, what your screen name is. That's some nice work.

I give him 2 trips to a Guy Fieri restaurant and a Walmart Rascal-scooter.

Janice in Accounting don't give a fuck.

He's the George Lazenby/Timothy Dalton of Daily Show hosts.
(I'm going by mass-opinion here. I love both of them)

Everything's coming up Rowling!

The thing is, he's come out and said almost exactly this and it hasn't made a difference. And not just the thing ages ago in some interview where he flat out called Republicans stupid. He said recently that he could murder someone on the street in cold blood, and his numbers wouldn't take a hit.
It's not a big…

I'm curious if Syfy will actually give us a full episode (or more?) where all their too-attractive lead stars are nonspeaking CGI birds and foxes.

What I loved about that scene in the book, at least until we find out more, is that it just seemed like it was totally disconnected from everything else. We don't come back to it or even mention it until much much much later.
It just felt like a quick "oh by the way, magic is fucking dangerous and you'd better know…

Thats.. exactly what I said. It's not a prophecy thing. But he is being placed in a position of importance from the get-go. And everyone is being told as much. Which deflates a lot of the story.

My worry is that if they're doing Julia's story now, then what is there to tell in the second season? The nice thing about their journey to get BACK into Fillory in the second book, was how it was mirrored by Julia's first journey into the magic world. But without that, it's just a season of them walking through…

I could have sworn it happened right after we meet Penny. Maybe I've just seen that stupid ad so many times that it's messing with my memory of it.

Yeah, one of the big things I took from the books was that learning magic was just as boring as sitting through any other class, and the school itself was really kinda mundane and nothing at all like Quentin wanted it to be. But we're barely at the school for night in the show and suddenly it's like "Look! Floaty…

I love the book series so so much, so I know there's no way I could watch the show and not be biased (spoilers: I hated it).
So I've been waiting for this review to get posted so I could see what everybody else's thoughts were, particularly the ones who hadn't read the books. So I could see if it was just me, or if it…

While I hate Chosen One stories too, Quentin sort of was chosen in the books by Jane Chatwin, since she'd been rewinding time over and over and determined that Quentin and his friends stood the best chance of beating Martin. But it's supposed to be a big reveal, and less that he was "chosen" and more sort of that he…

Where every weekend is Harry Potter Weekend

Maybe, like Dan Harmon did with Community, Radcliffe can write it off as his gas-leak movie…?

Alright, D-Rad. You win. I thought it was dumb, but this one got me.

Always going to be relevant!

STOP opening your pod bay doors, HAL!
