'I thought we'd met?'

Probably the best example of character growth in the show (JD comes close). When she became pregnant and decided to win back Perry she became of emotionally open. Still a raging bitch monster from time to time, but one who could become vulnerable when around Perry and Jack.

The first 3 seasons of Scrubs stands up there in the pantheon of comedy greats. I don't think any other show could make you tear up, burst out laughing, and reflect on your own life in such whiplash fashion.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I'm still curious to know what the ratio of male/female pitches is, but I freely admit that the logic doesn't include the more intangible societal pressures that dissuade women from engaging in, what were until relatively recently, traditionally male pursuits.

That presupposes that there is an identical number of female writers that a) want to work in television, b) want to work in television, and c) want to work on subversive/alt/stoner comedy. If this is the case than you are absolutely correct. Do you know if that's true? Lazzo's "explanation" for a lack of female…

Purposeful exclusion of women, or minorities, or LGBTQ people from anything is obviously incorrect. The 'but' to this sentence is that articles like this never tell you what the percentages of applicants or content creators are. If 50% of pitches come from female creators and none get through, you have a pretty clear…

Won't be up for long, but some wonderful person put the scene on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

I think it was more 'in media res' than anything. The bulk of the episode provided context for questioning - don't remember if they were verbatim, but it felt that way.

Had another thought. In the Ford/Abernathy scene where the android gets all creepy talking about 'meeting his maker', Ford brushes off the glimpse of Skynet by recalling that the words must be from some old dialog rattling around Abernathy's head from previous "jobs".

I certainly behave like a maniac in GTA, but given the opportunity to live out that violence in a Westworld-esque place, I don't think I'd act with the same… let's call it what it is, glee (although, to be fair, the real crime sprees occur when playing with friends). The physicality of the act is what sets apart video…

I have no idea, but this is now canon.

I took two things out of this pilot. 1. Paying to murder and rape robots should put you on some sort of watchlist and 2. I really need that old-timey version of 'Paint it Black'. Like ASAP.

Yeah, his acting was so unbelievably over the top and her accent made the lines seem stilted. Outside of these wrinkles, Marsden, Harris, Hopkins, and definitely Ms. Wood turned in fantastic performances. Really enjoyed the pilot.

True, I've taken many month breaks with no announcement or fanfare. They may or may not correlated with the ending of a relationship…

Lot of 'low-level' cleverness in last night's episode. Not many laugh out loud moments (my roommates and I did love Garrison's plea to not be president) but many world building moments that should pay off nicely. Also, strange to see Cartman as a somewhat sympathetic character - and one who's about to play doctor…

It's like, do you even Pokemon?

I hate Twitter so, so, so much. It epitomizes our capacity to be both awful and uninteresting, all at once.

The song they did for Mission Impossible is still listenable. Happy I missed out on most of the Limp Bizkit era, though (I was 10-13 when they were huge - Mom was not about to buy me anything 'chocolate starfish' related).

For a Saturday morning style B movie, I quite enjoyed Wild Wild West. The mechanical spider? C'mon, one of the all-time great impractical evil genius machines.

Frenetic action, narrative twists, witty banter. What more could you want from Person of Interest? What a capper for a show so dense, clever, and downright lovable. In media res is a tricky tactic to execute, but Fisher and Nolan used it beautifully. I have some minor qualms to pick with Samaritan's response to the…
