That episode didn't remotely bring the MS storyline to a conclusion. The political fallout of his decision to conceal the fact that he had MS was, understandably, one of the most dominant issues of the campaign for re-election, which dominated season three. And the toll the revelation took on his relationship with the…

Legitimate question: What is it about Dave Matthews that draws your ire? As mentioned in my comment, what seems to me to be a collection of legitimately impressive musicians who want to do something other than the standard "three-chord" boilerplate strikes me as the kind of thing I'd expect culturally ambitious folks…

The marginalization of Dave Matthews Band by folks who otherwise consider themselves to be culturally and pop-culturally literate and ambitious has always confused me. I get that they have a dispiritingly vocal contingent of frat-boy fans, but the level of skill that seems to be on display in their band seems like it…

Who the heck is Captain Thunder? Are you thinking of Shazam?

Something something women's subjugation joke.

Watched the finale this evening. I was initially furious, but after a couple hours of reflection while doing some work, I honestly think that if they had put an act break between Tracy's death and Ted going after Robin, there wouldn't have been nearly as much uproar. I think a big part of the negative reaction, at…

Thanks for the reassurance. It was a cold and frightening time until you assuaged my fears.

Maybe they formally retired this and I missed it, but what happened to every story about Steve Carell including an excerpt from the screenplay for the Dan in Real Life sequel?

He openly says that Hannibal is not the killer, but that we are supposed to think he is at this point. How is that indirect? I went in with the assumption that it was an interview for people who had seen the episode, not for people who had see the season. I don't think it was an unreasonable assumption.

The audience is supposed to think it's Hannibal right now. The interviewer has seen more of the season than we have at this point.

Can you guys please put spoiler warnings on these interviews? Most of us have not seen beyond the currently airing episode, so when the executive producer acknowledges within the interview that viewers are supposed to think that Hannibal is the one committing these murders and yet you openly bring up the fact that he…

She and Mallory were out to dinner once in season four.

This is excellent. Can't wait to try the fish on a salt shell!

Saw Jeff Goldblum at a movie theater in 2008. He was walking out of an IMAX showing of THE DARK KNIGHT while I was waiting in line for the next one. The next few days after he walked by are kind of a blur. That's normal, right?

Ugh! "Webster's dictionary defines…" is the Jim Belushi of speech openings: It accomplishes nothing yet everybody keeps using it and no one understands why.

Don't worry—she gets a lot better.

Has anyone addressed why he thinks this song came out in the late 90s? He places it at "the end of the '90s, when the grunge movement pretty much said all it had to say." "Shiny Happy People" came out in 1991, at the start of the grunge movement, right?

Man, it wasn't until very recently that I made the connection between Chris Hardwick the mainstream face of geeky enthusiasm and Chris Hardwick the host of MTV's Singled Out. Give the man credit, he figured out how to leverage the internet pretty dang effectively to prolong/revive/boost his career in a way none of us…

This is a comments section full of folks who generally keep up-to-date with current events and are incredibly culturally and pop-culturally savvy. You don't have to pretend not to know Sen. Al Franken's name.

Okay, I think I've misunderstood this for YEARS. All these years I've thought The Moment was what the doctor used to time-lock the war, effectively taking the Time Lords and the bulk of the Daleks out of existence. Thanks for the clarification—it actually changes a lot. Dang it—I guess I need to go back and watch the…
