I wonder if Jon actually was questioning its authenticity and we just didn't see it. If he thought it was real, it's hard to believe he wouldn't have taken Dale up on that offer.

If Jon thought that Dale's idol was real, why on earth wouldn't he take Dale's deal? Obviously, to the viewer, it would have looked stupid, but on the island, Jon has no reason to believe Dale is lying. If you want to keep your alliance with Missy and Baylor, explain the situation to them and vote out Keith. I mean,…

Basketball, fuck yeah. I'm all in on the NBA this year. Is there a sports league in a better place at the moment? The NFL has a sort of sleazy feeling to it (even though I still love watching), baseball's in the middle of a really, really low-rated postseason and the NHL is the NHL. Meanwhile, the NBA has its biggest…

It basically boiled down to a multiple choice clue because you had so few possible pairings for that part of the Bible. Adam, Eve, Serpent, God. Even if you only have a basic knowledge of Genesis, you have a decent shot of guessing correctly.

Do not agree with the hedge that is the minus on the grade. Give it the A. DO IT.

I'm fine with them for opening night. Interested to see how Kobe plays, the Rockets are always entertaining (sometimes in stupid ways, but still entertaining), etc. When we're getting the Lakers on national TV in March after they've been dead in the water for two months, that's a bit more annoying.

Sure. Plus, it's not like there's anything mindblowing in it. It's a Marvel movie trailer. Imagine a bunch of people running and yelling, some stuff blowing up, a robot, another bigger robot, a smaller robot, Robert Downey Jr. saying something melodramatic. That's pretty much the entire thing.

I hear that, but you're on an island with almost nothing to do for days on end. That being said, if I was on 'Survivor,' 0% chance I would be the firestarter.

Yes, sometimes, if you get a bitter jury, but I'd rather risk that then risk having my alliance blown up on day 27 because I'm aligned with a firecracker.

The perfect person to drag to the end isn't the one who annoys everybody, though. It's the one who makes absolutely no impression whatsoever. If you ally with her, you're putting a target on yourself just by virtue of the fact that she's constantly causing drama. Baylor is too outspoken and volatile to make it to the…

The absurdity of the flint thing is that nobody on that tribe could make fire without it. That's Survivor 101.

Interesting scenario: What if Dale and Keith do team up and Jon buys the fake Dale idol, so Jon and co. throw their votes at Keith assuming he would never go looking. Then Keith plays the actual idol and things go crazy.

Concur. I really enjoyed it.

Dale didn't come off great in this one, but I'm sure it's really, really easy to get annoyed when you have no food. And then random human who you don't know starts eating all of your food and rolling her eyes at you because you're telling her to ration that shit so that you can eat again in the future. Whenever…

I really thought Jeff was going to call the loser tribe back. Instead, he basically responds with, "I have a Tribal Council to deal with," which is such an awesome, self-important Jeff Probst thing to say. People bash Probst for being a dick, but dude is committed. He has a fucking tribal council to deal with. Enjoy…

I finally feel like I know enough about these human beings to provide an overly long set of observations. Let's talk voting strategy! And how everybody botched it! There are two clear plays in this situation. You either all vote for Keith (which would have backfired if he played the idol, but nobody knows about the…

I felt really awkward for Dale because nobody else was laughing with him. There are few feelings worse than when you laugh after you say something and nobody else joins in. You just feel like a failure.

To be fair, if there was a giant monster destroying everything in real life, I'm pretty sure we'd all have that 1000 yard stare, which is basically the visual equivalent of "What. The. Fuck?"

I understand why people like it, but I just ended up rolling my eyes a lot. Absolutely, I think part of the problem was that the Internet reaction raised my expectations a bit much and when I watched it I was expecting more of a complete film.

All 'Pacific Rim' had was a name director. I don't see how you can argue that Del Toro cared more about what he was making—Edwards, by all accounts, really loved the original Godzilla films and was trying to respectfully update them for the modern era. I think he pulled it off beautifully. If you like Del Toro's…
