*Ed McMahon's head explodes*

I concur. The back half of this season in particular, has left much, much to be desired.

HEYOOOOOOOO

I see what you did there.

I'm sure this was intended to help bolster her buck-the-system street cred, but it really just smacks of a publicity stunt to get attention. That sample could have been recreated in the studio in about two minutes, royalty-free. It's just someone singing "Naaa."

True. Still, his campaign manager didn't know that, still had a pretty horrified reaction to his reelection.

I don't know that DAs should be appointed, but this made a compelling case that they shouldn't be elected. Nifong's desire to score points with the average Durham resident seemed to factor far too much into his overzealousness. The way the defense just ripped the DNA expert to shreds — without having been prepared to…

She appeared briefly in a couple video shots of the criminal proceedings, but wasn't interviewed or delved into in any detail.

"Davos and Salladhor" would be a fantastic buddy comedy. "You are not my friend, my friend."

I thought that once, too. Then I was up at 4am like, "Ehhhh, let's just bang out one more."

I'd like to see Roose finally get leeched at some point this season [not a metaphor].

One frame at the end of the trailer is usually the designed 'OH SNAP WAS THAT—' slot. I think it's right where it belongs.

My buddy uses acorn meal to make this crazy-spicy Malaysian dish called sambal. Once you boil that bitterness out, they're surprisingly good.

I was extremely close to quitting on "The Shield" when they killed Lem, but then I realized it was just my reaction to how frigging incredible the storytelling was. Possibly the most devastating TV death I've ever seen, it just crushed me for a solid 24 hours.

I think it was one of the illustrations in 'Drawing of the Three,' maybe the one of naked Eddie, that I came across about the same time I saw 'Pulp Fiction,' and remember thinking, yup, that's Eddie.
