I can't hear that "Some Nights" song without hearing Simon and Garfunkel's "Cecilia".  The "woah-woahs" in the chorus are just too similar.

I was a DVD watcher for the first season of Mad Men, and then a live watcher since then.  I really think you'll enjoy watching Mad Men on a weekly basis.  It's such a rich show, that I invariably just watch the AMC re-run right after the first airing.  Plus I think much of the fun is reading the review and the…

Don't know how this episode warrants just a "C".  Given, the Reynold's Wrap Quickfire was a little too contrived, but the contestants handled it well.  I thought the berry Elimination Challenge was pretty well done, with a head-to-head component that's been missing for a while in Top Chef.

Also as a Dodgers fan, I would think that I could kill some Giants as well.  But it's kind of hard to build deep-seated hatred for the current version of the Giants, when I admire guys like Lincecum, Cain, and Posey.  It's not like the days of Will Clark or Barry Bonds, when it was so easy to hate those bastards.

Funny, I thought kind of the opposite: "Oh, of course the Top Chef audience voted for the cute gay guy."

It's been many years since I read Tolkien, but you should find The Hobbit to be a much more straightforward read, with a quicker pace than the trilogy.  Fewer songs and poems to distract you along the way.

All I want to do is push his damn glasses down.  What idiot wears glasses like that? Put them over your skull, clip them on your chest or put them away.  The way he wears them on his eyebrows makes him look like he lacks the basic understanding of how to wear glasses, like you would expect him to hang a hat off his…

Last season's Last Chance Kitchen was, week-to-week, invariably better than the main competition itself.  LCK is a distillation of the essence of the show, one-on-one cooking with no stupid team dynamics to screw things up.  The challenges tended to be clever but straightforward, like good Quickfires.
