    NBC 2014/2015 New Shows

    The only comedy that I find remotely appealing on that list is Mission Control, and that's primarily because it reunites Phil and Lem from Better Off Ted. Most of the rest make it look like NBC just went through a particularly bad breakup, just hit its period, and really needs something to...

    Tons of shows cancelled

    The enjoyment I had for New Girl was in spite of Zooey. The show has a strong supporting cast that works well together. But I find myself enjoying the show less and less as time goes on, and I think that's because rather than toning down Zooey to play to the strengths of the ensemble, they've...

    Mad Men

    There have been some hints here and there: his frequent paranoia, awkwardness in social situations, his tirades, etc. Probably most telling were his story to Peggy about being from Mars and the meltdown he had that Bob Benson had to talk him down from (in which he mentions transmissions being...

    Tons of shows cancelled

    Yeah, I really enjoyed the first season, but by halfway through the second it started to become clear that they were quickly running out of ideas. I also think it was a mistake to cut Rex Lee and reduce Alan Tudyk's role. I would've rather have had less of Sheila and Fred.

    Revolution

    With networks looking taking more of a long-term look at shows - since they can continue to profit off of them through syndication, streaming rights, and DVD sales - it surprises me that this isn't becoming more standard. A show like Revolution is going to be a really hard to sell without a...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    Sort of weird that it's the opposite for me. In the last beta weekend I was in, I was thinking my PC just wasn't strong enough to handle the game, but this weekend it's running really smooth for me on high. I'm also not having to wait 10-20 seconds for NPCs to appear every time I enter a new area.

    Survivor

    My opinion on Trish will be decided over the next couple of episodes. She's shown she's someone who is willing to make moves, but she's also someone who has gone into autopilot once she found herself in a comfortable position in the game. She seems to be a person who has a good sense of the...

    Predict the Summer 2014 Domestic BoxOffice

    The thing that really works in How to Train Your Dragon 2's favor is the fact that this is the first summer in nearly a decade that there hasn't been a Pixar movie. As far as animated movies go, it's going to have very little competition.

    Mad Men

    Which, you have to admit, is very Don. How many times have we seen him refuse to go to a meeting in someone else's office? His standoff with Ted last season immediately comes to mind. I could be remembering wrong, but I could swear he even did it to Peggy once after she got her own office...

    Mad Men

    I think, in Bert's view, Don needs to be doing penance for his mistakes. The company has changed and Don needs to find his place within the new hierarchy rather than trying to force everything back the way it was. Don wasn't just trying to bring in new business because it was good for the...

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    Yeah, Marvel's approach was smarter in that they introduced characters that were relatively unknown to the masses in their own movies as a way of letting us get to know who they were before teaming them up in a movie where character development is pretty small by necessity. DC may benefit by...

    [NO Spoilers] Star Wars: Episode 7 - NO PUSSY SHIT

    When I said "Star Wars Babies", I was more referring to the fact that nearly every one of the younger actors has been rumored to be a child of one of the characters from the original trilogy, which I think would be lazy writing. I'm doubting that is actually the case, but I really have no issue...

    Survivor

    Oh, I definitely agree he can't take Kass to the end. She's the only one of the ones that have played little-to-no game that could talk herself into a win. Her sitting at the end not only justifies the move she made against Spencer's alliance, but going up against Tony also allows her to make...

    Survivor

    I'm not sure Tony even needs to go that far. Woo seems to basically do whatever Tony tells him to since, you know, they have that psychic connection where Woo has the exact same idea as Tony as soon as Tony verbalizes it... Kass also likely wouldn't be an issue since she's smart enough to...

    [NO Spoilers] Star Wars: Episode 7 - NO PUSSY SHIT

    There are also rumors that John Boyega will be playing Lando's son. I'm hoping these turn out to not be true, because I'd rather they not turn the new trilogy into Star Wars Babies.

    Mad Men

    Don seemed pretty desperate to get back to work. I mean, the guy was giving away part of his paycheck just so he could continue to pitch ideas. He might not see these stipulations as being big sacrifices for him to make. He was already trying to give up drinking under his own volition. Being...

    Mad Men

    And I think that's why Don took the job without a fight. He got what he wanted: He forced SC&P's hand and made them admit he's too valuable to lose to a competitor. They may have put him on a leash, but by admitting that, he and they both know that it's a bluff waiting to be called, otherwise...

    Survivor

    Tony still has one advantage with that idol that no one else will ever have: He's the only person who knows how it works. Everyone else just knows it has "special powers" and that's it. I could see Tony revealing his idol as a way of leveraging that to his advantage. He could tell them it...

    The unfortunate thing is I don't think it would've changed much of anything. Woo would be gone, but Tony's alliance would still have the numbers. Maybe Spencer could work on getting Jefra to flip again, but she's proven to be too unreliable just like Kass. And Trish obviously isn't going to...

    Mad Men

    It makes me wonder if Pete's suggestion that the CA office break away from the NY office might come to fruition. There has been a theme of Pete following in Don's footsteps, and it'd be similar to when Don and Lane orchestrated the closer of Sterling Cooper to form SCDP. If so, that leads to...

    Revolution

    Not yet, but I'd be extremely surprised for it not to be after the season ends. Last year, they made the mistake of thinking this show's decent ratings were indicative of it being a good show and moved it to Wednesday to carry the night, when in reality the only reason it had good ratings was...

    Breaking Bad

    I tend to agree. The show was always about Walt. What we saw of Gus's backstory served the purpose it needed to - to let us know how dangerous it was that Walt and Jesse were attempting to go up against him. It really didn't need to go much deeper than that, because it wasn't terribly...

    Mad Men

    I saw that scene as showing a contrast between the two characters. Roger's daughter is someone who has fully embraced the "Summer of Love" vibe. She's committed to it, understands it, and is allowing it to give direction in her life. Roger, on the other hand, is only in it for the same reason...

    I think it's possible he tipped his hand too early. He had the alliance of six pretty well locked up and everyone trusting him (for some reason) and looking to him for leadership. He was in a very strong position similar to Boston Rob where, once those fractures started developing, he could...

    Mad Men

    It sort of goes along with Megan telling Don not to throw his cigarettes off the balcony because they can always tell where the fire started. After the episode, I gathered that was a reference to Freddy working for Don (and Peggy noticing that something was off), but I could see it being...

    I think the ones that give good confessionals tend to coincide with the ones that had a solid social game: Cochran, Cirie, Penner, Yau-Man, Malcolm, Parvati, Boston Rob, etc. The exceptions to this would be someone like Russell who was more of a psychological player, but still had good...

    For some reason I was confusing 2 with 3 (which I guess I did see some of). Not being on a beach was something the producers quickly realized was a mistake. I wouldn't say 9 and 15 are horrible seasons, just ones I wouldn't go out of my way to watch again. 9, I wasn't much of a fan of because...

    Intrinsic sort of mentioned them since they both involve Parvati, but I'd definitely throw in Cook Islands (Penner, Yul, Ozzy, Candice, Becky) and the first Fans vs. Favorites. Tocatins would probably be a good one as well, just because Coach needs to be seen to be believed (plus that's one of...

    Some of it is just Jeff knowing better what sorts of questions to ask. After nearly 30 seasons, he's figured out the patterns, is better able to recognize who the power players are, and knows what sort of leading questions to ask to get people to open up. Jeff may be able to screw up someone's...

    The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

    The only reason a show like Letterman's has the second half hour is for the second guest and the musical act. Cut off that half hour and it's basically the same format Colbert has now (opening, skit, guest). Really, if Colbert is going to do anything to change the format, I wouldn't mind...
