For real. To quote tvtropes, that was the narmiest speech in TV history. Remove the "baby" part, and the speech would have been serviceable at worst.

Uh…I was being tongue-in-cheek. I thought your points were impressive, sound, and thorough. It wasn't being contrarian for contrarian's sake. I was just having a little fun with that reply, imaging you as a diabolical genius (to say nothing of my other reply below your post, mocking Mellie's inability to sexually…

On a side note, I can see you jotting down notes during every episode (sometimes even replaying episodes) to rack up the count of "Mellie does something stupid" moments, just to fuck with Mellie fans…all while grinning maniacally and stroking your beard. It's petty, hilarious, and impressive at the same time. Bravo.

Here's another good one. Mellie failed to satisfy her husband in the shower. He was so legendarily unimpressed, he kept drinking scotch WHILE HIS WIFE WAS GOING DOWN ON HIM…IN THE SHOWER.

Hmmm. Me thinks that I need to finally go back and watch Person of Interest for that alone. I've seen episodes here and there, but never stuck around.

Exactly. Despite my personal grievances, I'm all for including the music for wider exposure through mainstream outlets that's normally reserved for The Beatles/The Who/Rolling Stones/[insert old school rock band], since old school R&B (with some exceptions) doesn't exactly get much airplay outside black media.

Mellie took advantage of Jerry raping her as you said. However, what you conveniently left out is that Mellie paid a TERRIBLE price for choosing to go that route. She gave up her own career, she became aloof with Fitz, which caused a multitude of marital problems, and the guilt made her suicidal. She may have done…

Decent episode overall, though I wholeheartedly agree with your takedown on Scandal's use of music. Like I mentioned last week, I never thought the music was appropriate, or thematically fit with what's going on in the background. At best, it's background noise. At worst, it's an annoying distraction from legitimately…

Strangely enough, the ReDeads didn't creep me out much…at first. I got through the tomb where you get the Sun's Song with no fear, but that changed almost immediately after leaving the Temple of Time as adult Link. Seeing the once thriving market turn into a hell hole with ReDeads swarming the place turned on my…

This is precisely why I feel Zelda: OoT is the greatest horror game ever made. The horror aspect was completely unexpected. Once you turn into adult Link, the innocuous game turns creepy as fuck. Wallmasters scared the shit out of me so badly, even the 2D versions in Link to the Past (which I played after OoT) gave me…

One interesting conversation I had with my girlfriend (we're both black, btw) with Scandal had to do with this very issue you brought up. She doesn't care about the arbitrarily placed music, because unlike me, she enjoys it, and I get that sense with most older black viewers, whose favorite music typically isn't…

Agreed. Given Karen's age, I seriously doubt she did anything more outrageous than her normal clients, let alone the most perverted acts recorded on camera since the internet hit mainstream.

Funny enough, my initial reaction to Fitz asking his daughter whether the boys raped her or not was irritation, thinking he was in denial that maybe his daughter truly liked the sex and wanted it, ill advised or not (i.e., "She's my daughter! My daughter is not ALLOWED to be DP'd!"). Within seconds, I remembered that…

Season 8 at least had one great episode with Jack going berserk down a tunnel and Logan being visibly scared in his motorcade, but otherwise, it was a boring final season that ended the same way season 4 did.

Oh lord, that reminds me when the "24"-only fans in Entertainment Weekly's forums eviscerated the "Lost" finale for that reason when I expressed how much I disliked the "24" season 8 ending. Although I recognized some of their anger was towards EW favoring "Lost" by that point, it still made me temporarily hate the…

And who the fuck are you? Given your name, I bet you're a pederast.

Back in 2008, when I frequented Entertainment Weekly's popwatch blog (and also when "Genius" writer Marc Bernandin wrote recaps for Battlestar Galactica in ew.com), I remember seeing the first few pages of Genius issue #1, and wondered what happened to the series. It looked promising, though it was not exactly subtle,…

If anyone's curious, here are the stars now, more-or-less:

Halfway through the first episode, Strahovski is MILES better than two seasons worth of Hannah McKay. I was worried the moment she was coasted, because I couldn't stand how her character messed up Dexter, but now I know it's the writers' fault, not her's.

LOL, that part did have a "Shaun of the Dead" vibe.
