More often than not I found he shat on popular, American culture in favor of dull foreign fare. I'm all for intellectual exploration, especially in film, and I love to find myself watching something totally out of my wheelhouse, but I got the impression it was mostly pretension on his part.

Well-said. I didn't read one thing he wrote, and he annoyed me more than Gene Siskel the few times I watched that show. I love talking about movies and hearing other peoples' opinions, especially on here. I think I would miss the folks on AV Club if they passed away more than I will ever miss Ebert. That being said, I…

I do get a little sick of the constant examination of the emotional impact post-zombie apocalypse. It's done and it's the new world, shouldn't you be busy trying to find your place in it? It reminds me of that stupid alien TV show with Noah Carter, Aliens Falling from the Skies or something. The first episode, some…

Mom, Dad, I'd like you to meet Sally. She's my fuck pony.

For real. Spring 2014 is a long time to wait for Jay to be "cool" with Fallon taking his job.

It really would have been awesome if Picker could have pointed out in any of the episodes he was in, but specifically the one where Raylan was holed up in the high school, that one of the clocks was wrong.

"The videotape of Sammy’s altercation with Tami has been a consistent dark cloud over Sammy’s head throughout the IA process and his custody battle."
I get this coming from Sammy. He's a good guy so of course this bothers him. But at some point you gotta wonder what his motivation really is. Does he still love her? She…

"If she had just kept her mouth shut and let Phillip orchestrate his split vote, her new alliance could have snatched victory and control."

Me too. She has a great body.

I'm not even sure Erik knows he's on a TV Reality show, at this point. Or that it's a game.

I'm still unsure why, after how many times each of them has played, that they didn't just vote all the Fans off one by one. I've never played, but from my comfy couch, my strategy would be to lay low until it was down to just the Favs, and then let the hate begin. I'd be tickled if the Fans can keep low and let the…

Wow! Just, Wow! I am so vanilla. Maybe I should marry Twiley?

"It’s dumb because it has Rick, Daryl, and Hershel looking like idiots, Rick especially."
And especially as they had that whole, drawn out confrontation where Rick basically said, "yeah, that guy is just going to kill us no matter what we do." They could have eliminated that whole thing and just had Merle kidnap…

Great review; couldn't agree more, especially about the first part of the episode. Only thing I'd add, (and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one), is, why get rid of the hottest chick on the show? What is this? Survivor?

maybe the second time around, but not the first

How old school…a novel based on the mini-series. I would have just gone with a series of tweets about the mini-series.

"Instead, he gives time a cigarette."

What's funny is that if the Favorites would have been losing, he'd have been totally fine. There just wasn't enough drama for that fucktard to remain on the show.

I do. In fact, I'm a full-time single dad of three, and I can tell you my kids would not be heartbroken to be without me for 40 days. They would be psyched I'm on Survivor, but they'd laugh if I a) got booted on a medical, b) freaked out on the other Survivors, or c) walked around in my pink briefs all the time…

"'Kunta Kinte!' 'Phillip, hollering some kind of war cry!' That happened. "
That was a classic Basketball psych-out and it worked.
