The Game is a co-production between the UK's BBC and BBC America. As a rule of thumb on international co-productions, the channel contributing more money to the project gets to air the show first. The UK BBC obviously has a lot more money than BBC America, so when they have done co-productions in the past (Ripper…

Nope, Gunn is doing a very good job here. I saw all of Broadchurch. Gunn is managing to be considerably less shrill than Colman. But given that the killer in Gracepoint is to be different than the killer in Broadchurch, I don't imagine that Gunn is going to be given the great material that Colman got to work with in…

You are likely unaware of this, but in the UK the episode titles on the majority of TV series are "Episode 1," "Episode 2" and so on. It didn't used to be that way, but it is now. And of course that is the way it was with Broadchurch, so it is no surprise to see Gracepoint following the practice. What did surprise me…

Go watch some reality TV. It was made for you.

You know, it would be nice if people actually remembered why Walter White turned criminal (at least at the beginning, before he discovered that he really liked it, and that became the real reason). Walter didn't give a shit about medical treatment (and the NHS has no cure for TERMINAL cancer). He basically had to be…

Outlander doesn't strive towards a feminist perspective in any way. The author of the book series, Diana Gabaldon, totally rejects the feminist label whenever anybody attempts to attach it to her, and she identifies herself as a "libertarian Catholic." Libertarianism and Roman Catholicism. Are there any two "isms"…

Unless people in Scotland are illegally downloading or streaming episodes, they can't see any of this. No UK TV channel or web platform has bought Outlander, even though quite a few countries around the world are showing it. There can be no doubt that the Scottish referendum matter has made UK TV companies too scared…

He is doing podcasts for the episodes. His commentary on Outlander's first episode is already "out there."

Jeez, it is a bad sign when a reviewer can't even get the episode title right. It is "Painted From Memory." Not "Painted Like Mercury," which doesn't even make any fucking sense.

Good grief, people's taste. Tyrant is very good, while The Honourable Woman is terrible. (No doubt my going against the AC Club grain on Tyrant is going to encourage those of you who haven't seen it to watch The Honourable Woman, but that's fine.)

Laughable. Outlander is going to be huge for them. American Gods is probably going to dumped in the development stage just like it was at HBO.

This will serve as a reply to Beema as well. I completely disagree with your opinion about the show, but the merits of the show, or lack of them, in my eyes or yours doesn't matter in this particular discussion. My point, in my comment above, is that episode blogs for TV series at the AV Club — for ANY and all shows…

AV Club, please find someone else to do the episode blogs for this series. There are a million people on the internet commenting about how awful Game Of Thrones is (not to mention how awful every other show I think highly of is), but I doubt you would think it appropriate to have them writing your Game Of Thrones'…

Well, I would have thought it was obvious it was not an 100% EXACT parallel. The relevant similarity: New Yorkers are Americans. "Canadians," in 1812, were nationally British, while they are not British today (I am a Canadian, by the way).

Salesman, sociopath. To-may-to, to-mah-to.

And notice how the reviewer kept making that SAME point over and over again? Someone who can't structure a simple TV episode review properly has no business sitting in judgment on this TV show

My inner monologue was along the lines of "What wouldn't I give for Walter White to show up and tell Joe 'Fuck you…and your eyebrows!'"

And right you were to do so. Four words (five if we can cheat a little and count an ellipses as a word) and you make more sense than the reviewer.

The episode was outstanding. I watched the damned thing twice I enjoyed it so much. And there may need to be an entire Emmy category for Lee Pace's eyebrows.

Actually, Hell On Wheels' protagonist eventually admitted to that former slave that the thing about freeing his slaves was all a big lie. Liars. They're practically the AMC brand.
