I can't lay claim to anything more than a cursory understanding of details like how the game of football is played, let alone which teams are well-regarded in this year of our lord. But I wound up reading this article anyway, and because of those lack-of-facts that I mentioned above, I wanted to chime in and say that…

what's the rule? say it!

Barksdale crew keeps stumping the cops with their change-ups, but Omar guesses the password every day. he logs on like it's nothing, and gets to read ALL of his sites.

Wow. I banged through the first two seasons over the last— I don't know, two weeks?— to get here, and even though this episode sounds like vintage, terrible Killing on paper, I thought it was masterfully executed.

Agent Gary Cooper, who was too strong/silent to compliment any town on their pie.

What? Did the network spin for Friday Night Lights make you guys salivate? I'm gonna hold off on any Store Brand Snark 'til I see a few episodes of the new show from the guy who turned "rednecks playing football" into an emotional whirlwind

Haha! I've thought about that resemblance too, and I think you're the first other person I've seen acknowledge it. I always wondered if Moore had originally envisioned Siddig in the role — or if Siddig was a callous prankster to Moore back in the DS9 days, and Moore cast his doppelganger in the "horny Dr. Smith" role…

Their legislation would be dictated by the mobile app they were using at the party in the pilot. Things would decay, immediately, into one of those dystopian YA novels they probably all pretend not to like.

Well, if it was a standard awkward teenage story where your mom discovers that you've been jackin' it, and then boy was it awkward for a while, sure. That'd be goofy, and trite. But because of the dude's religious upbringing, he got sent to what sounds like a support group / public chastening session, the details of…

I liked this more than the other Hatesongs I've read — haven't listened to Nick Thune yet, not even sure if I've heard the song he's discussing — because there's such a strong interplay between music and memory. Any story exploring that connection, and the way that events which are specific to our own lives can inform…

Can't wait to see which side hijacks the Babylon 5 reboot & pulls it through time to serve as a base of operations.

I'm just happy to see a shoutout to SoupCon. If a panel geared toward Satanic Symbolists will get the pre-registration numbers up, I'm all for it.

Well, I dunno. I can relate to people who have been upset by bad adaptations of books, because that can feel like an intrusion. I'd like to argue that you can just ignore the movie if you want to, and also, that an adaptation doesn't change the book itself. But maybe it does, just a little; it changes the context in…

Clicked on this story due to the half-perverse curiosity which might lead a person to rubberneck at a freeway accident, but it was a real interesting read. I heard about the model used for Anger Management, but I didn't realize it had been a successful strategy beforehand; I waived my right to develop an opinion about…

The Avuncular Voldemort

Well, sure, someone was pregnant in December, and a guy who wasn't the father was nearby. I didn't get the sense that this episode was interrogating Christian theology, though. I felt like it was interrogating trauma: the ways that people react to loss when the source of their pain defies reason. The show didn't do it…

I feel like we could all stand to temper our network related apprehensions a little, here in the Yahoo Dawn.

Rene Auberjonois.

Kudos for maintaining an even tone in the article, and directing the only major joke towards Showtime, rather than people in recovery; I don't think of myself as thin-skinned, but it honestly feels hurtful to see how quick people are to whip up playful lil' spoofs about addiction like it's just a played out trope…

Worth noting that Tom Waits has, insofar as we can know anything for sure about Tom Waits, been sober for a very long time. "New Year's Eve" is a beautiful, apt capsule for the moment when you realize your problem isn't fun anymore.
