It wasn't even mentioned that she played Meadow's psycho dormmate on the Sopranos. Based on that alone, I think she'd be awesome here.

AKA Jim Belushi.

…In a $250 a month apartment. Yeah, I think I could handle that.

My impression? It's just about equal to Damages. There are some great scenes and performances and it's well-crafted, but in the end it's nowhere near as intelligent, insightful or Important (with a capital "I") as it thinks it is.

Yeah! And poison chainsaws, too! I got my first poison chainsaw when I was 6!

Yeah, but there's the asshole rich guy who thinks he's entitled to everything he has, and there's the decent sort of guy who's has talent and a run of good fortune and says stuff like this because he can't believe his luck. I think Edwards is the latter, but I guess you never know for sure.

If you see a shy geeky guy in a TV show or movie now, he's invriably portrayed as a potential sweet perfect boyfriend if only a beautiful girl would give him a chance. Like, every Michael Cera role, for example. But I think one reason Revenge of the Nerds is so beloved is because it's actually in tune with how…

… Movies watch you.

This the special in question? "Come inside my Pain Cave and I'll bludgeon you…"

Does the name "centi-meter" not actually mean "hundredth of a meter?"

I dunno, "my penis is half a foot long" sounds kinda gross, but still a lot more impressive than "eighteen hundredths of a meter."

There's a much better chance of it getting an Emmy in 2013, I'd bet (or at least a nomination or two.) It's in a better time slot, it's getting a lot of positive attention and (most importantly) there's an actual sense of story, stakes and purpose. The first season was great, but it was a lot more abstract, which…

I do wonder if part of the reason Enlightened went quietly ignored last season was because from a distance (and only from a distance) it kind of looks like another of Showtime's middle-age actress half hour dramedies.

It is on HBO, where ratings are only a small part of the picture. They're not in it for the sheer ad dollars- they're after subscribers, and part of that is having prestige niche shows like that that couldn't exist elsewhere (well, except on Showtime.) So If it's getting critical acclaim there's a good chance they'll…

This is the first one of these that I almost kind of agree with.

No. A casual reader of this site is not going to bring with this completely arbitrary rule, that grades aren't actually about how good the show is but instead how much it measures up to its potential. That's not how grades work, and it's not how most reviewers operate.

And also lesser known tracks, "Herring" and "The Heron."

Your complaints here are only valid if it is the actual reviewer who flip-flops. Surely you can't expect a magazine/website to demand all of their contributors have matching opinions.

Here's one article about it from Spy Magazine— some of them include Mark Arm from Mudhoney, Tad Doyle and Kim Thayil from Soundgarden..
