I think Justified is perfectly content to take a pretty traditional style of television, and to knock it the fuck out of the park.  It doesn't really concern itself with genre subversion, with big moral questions or sociological perspectives, with deep character studies, or the like - and that means it'll probably not…

Best cold open in quite awhile - the over-dub of the press conference was an inspired bit - but that's not saying much.

I like Sleigh Bells just fine.  I mean, they're not the end-all, be-all or anything, but their music is pleasantly diverting enough.

Wait, who's trolling here?

Come on.  That's right.  Cheerio.

Every time I hear the line "And dad would dream of all the different ways to die / each one a little more than he could dare to try," it breaks my heart.

In lieu of reading this article, I'm just going to go listen to In the Aeroplane over the Sea five or six times in a row.

Is Lin's popularity really inexplicable?

Even when I really like Happy Endings - which is most of the time - I think the show skirts the edge of annoying.  Part of the way it stays off of the annoying side of the line is by staying in constant motion; don't like this gag? don't like this plot?  Just wait a second.

The writers had him go a little overboard last week in the meeting with Devil, but I thought Quarles was pitch-perfect in the scene with Boyd - he skirts the line between dandy and menace.

Yeah, Raylan coming to at just the right time, and not being too conked out to notice the gun, grab it, and fire off a well-aimed round was … a little much.

I'd like Thanksgiving a lot more if I could watch tennis instead of football.

Somehow I'd never even heard of this movie, much less seen it.

It's a good sketch!  Google some combination of 'goulet', 'ferrell' and 'coconut banger's ball', and you should be able to find something.

One of Will Ferrell's better known sketches featured him as Robert Goulet performing hip-hop songs.  Thus my comment, you ass.

I much prefer Robert Goulet-esque hip-hop covers.

Yeah.  Karmin really put the whole Lana Del Ray business in perspective.

Yeah, I thought "Bein' Quirky" was a success, though I thought the 30s sketch was a little funnier.

I've never really been able to relate to what it must be like for a protagonist in an H.P. Lovecraft story until I saw Karmin perform last night.

She's got the voice down pat, but her hand gestures tended to stray into 'shy Japanese lady' territory.
