The thing that really threw me was that apparently Pam wasn't getting the money up front??

Hmm, I guess John Mayer kind of Mayer-ed himself out of the go-to musician in a comedy spot. It was a good niche for a while there.

This is a really niche comparison, but if Harry Potter is "Learning magic at English boarding school", The Magicians is "Learning magic at law school".

Underwhelming, but still above Boardwalk Empire's credits.

PFT birthed a thousand bar trivia names with "1900s Wizard-Wolf".

Mom Therapy was definitely my highlight of the week. If it had been about downloading audio books to her iPod instead of attaching pictures I would have to assume Schumer was using witchcraft to scry on me. The "Don't you see how it makes no sense that you forgot this already?!" exchange was too close for comfort.

I think the thing that really sold the joke was how Pyle kept her face squarely aimed at the same spot on Amy's chest afterwards. The fact that she seemed to be prepared for an intentional second salvo instead of looking contrite really killed me.

The "Information about obscure band U2, including names of band members!" review made me literally cry from laughing, which wasn't great since I was driving on the highway at the time.

Well his wife had just co-hosted a few episodes before and warned him it was coming up. I don't think he was taking it personally/invested.

I took a Literature to Film course in college where this movie/book was our subject for a week.

I'm pretty sure the script for Kick-Ass 2 was a disorganized pile of coloring books and Maxim magazines.

As pointed out by Steve, you can make a sequel set in the same world/by the same developers, just don't touch or add to the perfection that was the Joel & Ellie story.

Man, I remember when Saturday afternoons used to consist of going to Barnes&Nobles with my mom and colonizing one of their comfy recliners for hours and hours reading every monthly YA series.

Come on, how has no one made a profile named Data_Crusader yet??

Credit where it's due, but the HoC casting director managed to find the one woman on Earth that's as equally bland as the HoC President (uh, spoiler?). I couldn't pick either of them out of a lineup of one.

I'd say that for much of the first season, it felt much closer to 'cynical West Wing' in that the world and character motivations were nominally realistic, just cleaned up for drama.

House of Cards turned into 'pretentious Scandal' so gradually, I didn't even notice.

My favorite Legally Blonde-related memory was when I told my LSAT score to my then-girlfriend and she got super excited just from the number. When I asked her how she knew I did well, she said "That's what Elle got, and she got into Harvard."

I loved literally everything about Nick's law school experience, except for the utterly bizarre year they chose. At the very least, he'd have been 24 as a 2L in 1997, so he'd be 40 now, which, no.

That was some The Returned level young-to-old casting there.
