Season 8 was pretty awesome. The only subplot that was truly awful was the Starbuck and her crazy ex-boyfriend one.

It feels so good to be right once in a while. xD

Amazing episode!
On a somewhat-related note, does anyone else have the feeling that Manny's dad from Modern Family, aka that Navarro CIA guy, framed Kate's husband?

Well, I never would have guessed it if this review hadn't mentioned her full name, which immediately made my brain go "hey wait, what if she was Kiefer's daughter? let's ask Google!"

The awkward moment when you just realize, in the middle of Veep's third season, that Catherine is Jack Bauer's daughter. Or, more accurately, that Sarah Sutherland is Kiefer's daughter.

Random thoughts:
- F**k you, NBC for pushing Parks and Rec until mid-season and announcing it will be its last season. That probably means 13 episodes instead of 22.
- That "Tourists" segment was surprisingly strong. The most obvious angle would have been to portray New-Yorkers as a-holes, since that is the stereotype.…

Woo is like the anti-Spencer. He seems super nice but I fear he's too nice for this game. On the other hand, Spencer… Well…

Woo is just so damn adorable. Completely clueless as a Survivor player, of course, but still… That scene with the kids was amazing.

Actually, Brandon Hantz is all screwed up in the head but he seems like a good kid. He was also protecting Cochran after he flipped on his tribe.

She got screwed the second time around because she ended up, once again, on Philip's tribe, who immediately decided to vote her out again.

Random observations:
- Damn, that drone pilot guy (who was also just cast in Star Wars, sorry don't know the actor's name) is a fine-looking guy.
- Those were two pretty strong episodes of 24, all things considered.
- I'm not entirely sold on Goth Chloe, though.
- Dammit count: 3

Not only was The Beygency really funny (gotta love that Rihanna tattoo on Jack Bauer), but it looked great as well. I wonder how much they spent on it.
But, yeah, apart from that pre-taped bit and Leslie Jones, it was a pretty forgettable episode.
PS: God, was that Oliver Twist sketch awful

But is it dumber than the Medallion of Power?

That season ranking is completely wrong. The correct ranking (and it's only correct because it's been approved by the only person that matters: me) is:
- Five
- One
- Eight
- Four
- Seven
- Three
- Two
- Six

I won't use the term "unattractive," because it would be offensive in this context.
But, just off the top of my head, here are a few actresses who are not your typical "Vogue" model:
- M-L Rajskub/Chloe O'Brien: 24
- Gwendoline Christie/Brienne: Game of Thrones
- Rose Leslie/Ygritte: GoT again
- Retta/Donna Meagle: Parks…

Hmm… I will disagree with you on that. Laurence Fishburne, Scott Thompson and the guy who plays Chilton are all medium-looking at best. None of the women are "medium-looking."
And, there are TV shows out there with actresses who don't look as if they came straight out of a fashion magazine. Game of Thrones is an…

Random thoughts:
- Was it me, or did that guy in next week's preview really look a lot like Andrew Scott, aka Sherlock's Moriarty?
- My biggest gripe with Hannibal: its severe case of what I call medium-looking-actress-phobia.
Freddie Lounds? Starbucked for no reason. Described as slimy-looking in the book, gorgeous on…

The reason many (but not all, apparently) people dislike Jamm, and almost everybody dislikes Craig is like, unlike other characters on the show, they are not just broad, they are cliches.

Me, after watching that Doppelganger episode: "Oh yeah, that Craig guy was funny. I hope they bring him back on."
Me, after watching each and every episode he's been on after that: "Fuck, we've got a new Jeremy Jamm on our hands."

A French TV station bought that format a couple of years back. It wasn't actually half bad. Well, better than this at least.
