Yeah, I think you're seeing what you want to see in all of this.

What are you talking about?

"Teach me, Mr B…"

I'm not sure, but I also feel like that episode might have begun one of the great Stone/Parker bits - a normal phrase being repeated until it just degenerates into sound ("____ is filmed before a live studio audience" gradually becomes "____ is filmed before a live sudia audio").

I really don't understand the American fascination with remaking Australian film and TV projects in such a slapdash fashion. Animal Kingdom drew meaning from its connection to a real crime family, a real time and a real place. Once you lose that, how us the result any different to any TV show about a low level crime…

Also Henry Peck.

Alonzo Quinn in the Finch role.

I'm reposting from the other review.

I suppose not, but again, I think the show is kind of premised on the idea that this is all "really" happening around us, just on a level we don't see.

Speaking of regular coverage, any chance of a review of Person of Interest from Tuesday?

Or maybe the DC team gets his number and just decides to let that one go…

In Singapore at Universal Studios, there's an awesome Battlestar dual rollercoaster - two helix-type tracks (one human, one cylon). I have no idea what it's doing there. BSG was never theme-park-ride popular, and the souvenir shop at the end is full of BSG merch that I don't think anyone ever buys (Oh cool! A…

So I think it's a bit disingenuous on the show's part to use Obama as scene dressing, but then to act like there's been some other president the whole time.

ITS HAPPENING!!!!

Also, looking back through - Reece watches Barack Obama's 2008 victory speech on TV in a flashback in season 1.

Yeah, I don't know. One thing I always thought was smart on the part of the show was that the federal government was always represented by lower-level bureaucrats. You never saw the secretary of defence getting into some shit - it's always been guys from random agencies, the sort of national security lifers who exist…

Or maybe this just gives us free reign to make our own spin-offs using previous numbers. I'm gonna choose that NSA analyst from the first season played by Tim from Justified, that POI played by Nanzeen Contractor in the fourth season, and a reformed Alonzo Quinn. Together, they foil sexy crimes in Person of Interest:…

One thing that annoyed me was the president being some anonymous white guy. I'm pretty sure that they established at other points that Barack Obama was the in-universe president (through news footage or his portrait hanging in federal offices). It helped make the whole thing feel a little more real. At first, I…

I'm gonna put all my winnings in a pool and really Scrooge McDuck it.

The AV Club considers these reviews irrelevant. We don't.
