    Better Call Saul

    I don't think Chuck's intention is or ever was to fuck over Jimmy. He knows Jimmy is a con-artist deep down and views him lawyering as just another level of that. And that likely played a large part in why Jimmy was turned away from HHM: It wasn't because of jealousy or spite, but because...

    The X-Files

    That was the first thought I had when they returned rather than just being a younger Mulder and Scully joke for an episode. Considering how successful this "event series" of The X-Files has been, I don't think Chris Carter would have any trouble selling some sort of spin-off. After all, he has...

    The X-Files

    You have to hand it to Chris Carter. The guy sure knows something about ensuring job security.

    I'm disappointed they didn't use the grandfather paradox joke: I loved the simplicity of that and can really picture Chris Cooper delivering the line.

    The Magicians

    In the books, there is a lot of complexity to magic and different levels of it. Some requires finger wiggling, some languages, different variables (phases of the moon, etc.), potions, chanting, etc. It's basically most types of magic seen in fantasy all thrown together, making mastery of any...

    There is. They're just trying to convince you to buy Hulu Plus. When you go to the homepage, just click the Hulu logo in the top-left corner to get past the advertisement.

    The X-Files

    I was listening to Chris Carter on the Nerdist Writing Panel, and he talked about how the original series was written. One of the writers would be in charge of the episode, but it was a collaborative effort when it came down to pitching stories and the editing process, including Carter...

    It's nice to see that Perd Hapley survived the invasion.

    Marvel's Agent Carter

    They've said they treat each season as its own miniseries, so the plotshouldget wrapped up if they keep to that. It wouldn't surprise me if that contributes to their decision to not continue Agent Carter. I'm not sure if Marvel: Most Wanted was meant to be a full season show or not, but they...

    The Magicians

    They also have the most dangerous and powerful spells under lock-and-key. Hedge witches may be unsanctioned magic in the eyes of Brakebills, but they're mostly a minor nuisance due to the lack of spells and training available to them - hence why Marina had to break into the school.

    Colony

    Right now, the show feels like Falling Skies without aliens. You get some of the resistance and a lot of family drama, but little of the action or tension that Falling Skies had. I hope they peel back the mystery of the invaders before the end of the season and give more of an actual...

    2016 Oscars

    Too bad they didn't make the biopic a few years ago. The kid from Nip/Tuck was born to play this role.

    Heroes Reborn

    Called it. Also, that entire episode was so nonsensical - Chuck absorbing a solar flare, Tommy being able to be in two places at once andshareMalina's power despite being a power stealer (although he's been around several other Evos...), Phoebe suddenly becoming Venom, never really even...

    Suicide Squad (2016)

    Damn, now that's the trailer they should've done first. Perhaps it's just the Queen, but I think that might even top Guardians of the Galaxy's "Hooked on a Feeling" trailer. Syncing all of the explosions and reloading with the song was brilliant. It's hard not to get a little hyped up for the...

    Heroes Reborn

    Thursday's probably the most competitive night on network television. There's no way NBC put something on that night without some hope they'd find a rating's hit they could continue. I would bet anything that the actors on the show had to sign multi-year contracts. They might've had time to...

    Anyone else catch this week's episode? Holy shit, was it amazing.

    Psychonauts 2

    As much as I love Psychonauts and have longed for a sequel, I think I'll be hanging onto my money until the game actually sees the light of day. Over the past few years, other crowdfunded games in particular, I think Schaefer's proven he's a much better developer than studio manager and really...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    I think they moved that along a little too fast though. When he's not possessed by alien DNA, Coulson is always shown to be level-headed and logical, so it feels a little forced to have him go off so half-cocked and suicidal over someone he met a few weeks ago, most of which was playing her for...

    Fargo

    I think Offerman's role is more of a guest star (he's barely been in it up until now), while Milligan is more of a supporting role.

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    He said it was "part of a much larger piece". Considering a small chunk if it was removed and still functions, the monolith SHIELD had might not have been the entire thing.

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    Yeah, so glad they didn't go the most predictable route and had him seeking some sort of redemption. It's great to see him really embracing his role as a villain. Not to mention he proved he was completely justified in not trusting the ACTU. Can't really blame the guy for playing Ros to...

    If Offerman gets snubbed yet again for an Emmy nomination after this week's episode, I think it destroys any possible legitimacy the Emmy committee has left.

    Dexter: New Blood

    So long as they don't decide to be more faithful to the books... Those go downhillmuchfaster than the show. Jeff Lindsay really lucked out on having Showtime get interested in making a show after his first book, because no sane executive would've after the third. Shit gets crazy stupid (eg...

    Dexter: New Blood

    Did the writer of this article not watch the final episode or has he taken something that erased it from his memory? If so, what is it and where can I get some?

    Master of None

    He's really the one that stood out the most to me. Considering Aziz inserted is own parents in the show, I figured that actor had to be yet another person from his life that he decided to give a job. I was surprised to see he has acting credits going back a decade and a half. He has that...

    Master of None

    That's the primary reason I'm having trouble getting into this show. It tries to do the sort of humor Louie does, but Aziz can't sell cynicism well enough for it to work. I know Aziz isn't as childish and bubbly as Tom Haverford, but there's a reason he was cast for that part. He's much...

    Heroes Reborn

    The main problem is this season really lacks a good villain (which is saying a lot for this show). Erica is just this "means to an end" generic bad guy that just seems to be little more than a "means to an end" for the show. She's just there to occasionally yell and throw things and give the...

    Mythbusters

    As much as I've enjoyed the show over the past decade and think the changes they made this season were a much-needed improvement, I'd also have a hard time arguing against this being a good time for the show to end. Over the past few seasons it's really felt like they're scraping the bottom of...

    Fargo

    I don't know. The dialogue at the end was fromWar of the Worlds. It'd be bizarre for this show to suddenly become The X-Files, but it seems like there's going to be some connection at some point, perhaps similar to Oliver Platt's divine inspiration last season. Also, great callback to the...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    I wouldn't be surprised if she went after Lincoln purely knowing it would lead to being able to use Daisy as leverage. As Coulson pointed out, not forming an alliance would've almost certainly put the two factions against each other. If Price's goal is to show results, having to constantly...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    I'm guessing the thought is: Show results by finally apprehending a single Inhuman, or show results teaming up with the guy who has successfully apprehendedmanyInhumans. Considering how inept Price's team has been, the latter is much quicker and much bigger results.

    Gotham

    I wouldn't have minded them giving Joker a backstory, but I don't think Jerome really would've accomplished that anyways. He was insane from the beginning. All he was missing was the green hair dye and some greasepaint. There really wasn't much of an origin to be had.

    Gotham

    With as much as they kept mentioning the magician, I thought there was going to be an Easter egg like that. It just appears that the people of Gotham have never seen a magician before. They had all the excitement of 5 year-olds at a birthday party.
