AMC, which has replaced HBO as the place to find groundbreaking original programming (Mad Men, Breaking Bad), is premiering a series about zombies this weekend. There is nothing about that I don't like.

A&E showed reruns, which is ridiculous, because of course they have to edit the swearing and probably some of the violence. It looked like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFYN8loUboA Anyway, back to the Boardwalk... I wasn't sure if I was gonna stick with it, especially since it's on at...

I don't know what you mean exactly by serious, but like all of the best hour-long dramas it was a mix of straight drama and intense moments and dark comedy and regular comedy, like the other shows mentioned, it's just that Sopranos was the first. You really should check out the first two...

Saw a commercial for this on HBO and I saw Boromir and I seriously assumed it was Lord of the Rings.

I pretty much agree with you. Of course I had to check it out because of the setting and Steve Buscemi, but it hits its marks so obviously and bluntly. Though really I think part of it is how spoiled I am as a viewer. If I'd have seen this 10 yrs ago, I'd have been stunned by the look of the...

Hah, I don't even know what you're talking about. We cisgendered straight-guy sports lovers barely even notice cheerleaders, honestly.

Being a privileged elitist New Yorker (who now lives in New Jersey, but close enough), I've seen a few times, and yes he is that good live. He also had a concert film called Hilarious that was at some festival and no available on DVD. The NY thing shouldn't be a problem- if Woody Allen was...

You're giving me this impression that the internet of full of pretentious Whedon fan-boys who think the shows they like are some fancy intellectual artsy thing. Let's remember we're talking about fucking vampires and shit. The genius of Buffy is that is hooks you with action and eye-candy, and...

Wasn't Firefly also on Fox? I wonder why Whedon et al trusted them to handle their next show. Maybe part of the confusion about the moral issues in the show is that, at times, it seemed to present the idea of a "doll" as a moral quandary. This is actually what bugged me about the first...

By the boss of the dollhouse herself no less! Not to deny your main point, but you just described every Larry King and David Letterman interview I've ever seen.

Why is everyone calling the show misogynistic? A few of the characters were misogynistic. Ok, sure, every male involved with Sierra in any way except Victor was like some cartoon super-villain representation of something dreamed up out of the collective consciousness of participants at a Take...

Finished Dollhouse. I love this show! Really well made, great cast for the most part (Sierra was the only character/actress that stuck out like a sore thumb, and of course f'd up beautiful mouth guy from Battlestar always annoys me, but everyone else rocked it), cool stories, good action...

One thing about the suburb hell dimension I noticed I forgot to say: anyone else think that some of it was a David Lynch reference? The whole "American as apple pie" look on the surface with a dark horrible underbelly. There was a moment where the camera pans from Lindsey-then-Gunn's house to...

I've never even read a Star Trek book, so even though I enjoyed Buffy and Angel well enough I'm not going to hunt down and pay for comics. So I went ahead and read your description, not surprised they ruined the Angel ending with it, and laughed at the comic-book shark-jumping cliche of making...

Yeah I could see how that ending would have startled people. However, it took about a second of thought to remember that it played out exactly as they said it would- they knew they were gonna die, they knew they were not taking down WF&H, just the Black Circle part of it. This happened. In...

Penultimate episode of Angel just finished, and it was f'n awesome, the way it tied everything together. I was pleasantly surprised and impressed.

Finishing Angel tonight... It was amazing how many different ways they found of telling me that Fred is really really gone. So, um... she's gone? If putting the necklace around the monster to make him kill himself every day was loophole to get Gunn back, it's messed up that they had to wait...

Ooh "the wolf, ram and hart" were once weak, "lower than the vampires," according to Illyria (who btw looks like something out of an X-Men comic). Do I get a WR&H origin story?

Potential plot hole? in the puppet (wtf lol) episode: Lorne and someone else (forgot who) visit the guy that invented the puppets. He sings a little something, yet Lorne cannot tell that anything is amiss (while he was being controlled by a puppet (wtf lol)).

My copy of Angel season 5 is not the DVD, it's recorded from TV or something like that, 'cause some of these episodes have previews for the next episode. In the case of the puppet episode (wtf lol), it resulted in the ultimate encapsulation of how Buffy/Angel handles relationships: Episode...
