I was laughing A LOT at the beginning of the show (monologue, Just Friends commercial, Bein' Quirky), and then I felt like a drove 40 miles an hour into a brick wall named Gilly.

I lost count after KMart, Maybelline, and Diet Pepsi.

Damnit, missed this, saw the Margaret Mitchell one instead.

Is it heresy to say that I wasn't all that floored by The Goonies?  I thought it was just okay, while my friends were all raving about it.  Gremlins came out around the same time, and that movie seemed to be much better to my kid sensibilities.

Wait, there's *three* Dunk & Egg stories?  I just read two in the Legends fantasy compilations.

I'd trust HBO to do the right thing.  They let David Chase take his time in crafting the second half of The Sopranos, letting years go by between seasons.  I could see HBO putting the show on hold for years if necessary to let GRRM put his work out, even if it means dealing with the nightmare of the aging of all the…

The vibe I got from him was "frustrated stand-up comedian", in the days before there were Improvs everywhere to try out your material.

I haven't seen any of the retro-'60s Mad Men-themed commercials that were on in previous seasons.  I think Heinz should start immediately and contact the Stones to make a "Heinz Is On My Side" commercial.

The episode of Destiny was especially terrible with Netflix streaming.  They have such a hard time in dim or dark-lit settings.  I honestly could not tell what was going on in a lot of the desert driving and opera fighting scenes, the screen was just a dark blob.

I'll have to look into those Angel & Faith comics.  I got the first three volumes of After The Fall, and although I enjoyed the scope of the storyline, I found the artwork to be distractingly ugly.  There were a few sequences where I couldn't figure out what was going on because I couldn't make out the muddle of what…

The show that has most carried the torch for me, after Angel, is Supernatural. The show about the demon hunting Winchester brothers is similar in tone, with witty comedy in the midst of a lot of carnage.  Season 1 is a good setup for learning the characters, then seasons 2-4 are just amazing television.  Plus there…

I've come around to really enjoying Season 5 on rewatch, and can appreciate the snappy pace, the clear voice in the writing, and a cast which is at the top of their game.  During the original airings though, I kept feeling that there was a hole in the heart of it, and that was that I really missed the character of…

This one feels like it's in my wheelhouse.

One thing I was absolutely not prepared for was the deepening of Sally's voice.

Where in this clip is this dress you speak of?  The only glimpse I saw of Margaery was a side-shot of her sitting at a tourney.

How Game of Thrones has perfectly cast every kid actor further shows what a glaring mistake the casting of Jake Lloyd was for Episode 1.  Plus the kid had pure shit for dialogue.

I have never heard longer pauses on the radio than I did during that TAL podcast with Daisey.  The first time it happened, I had a Sopranos-finale type moment where I had to check to see if my podcast player was still running.

I hear you on Tosh, that guy dances right up to that fine line with racist humor in every episode.  It's hard for me to cast dispersion on a guy who seems to hate himself more than any ethnicity group, in that he makes himself do more demeaning shit, while naked, than any person I've ever seen on TV.  And I can't cast…

This is some of the best writing I've ever read on this site.  Kudos to you, Todd.  This work has a polish that makes me think it's been rewritten many, many times, and feels more like a chapter in a book than an article on a website.  Todd, I hope all your articles in this yearlong series are as good as this one, and…

I'm sure upon hearing about the Manning signing, Malcolm Tucker would have thrown in a few words like "bloody eviscerate" or "take a colossal, blood-soaked shit on the faces of the rest of the AFC West".
