    My god this last weeks episode of Boardwalk Emipire might have been the best of the entire series.

    Going to be sad to see it go this Sunday.

    I couldn't make it through the first episode of Selfie, but kept hearing good things about the show since. Decided to give it another shot and it's working out. That pilot is still rough, to me personally, but yeah, that show totally grows into itself pretty quickly.

    Just got to the point in Scrubs where Brendan Fraser dies.

    "Where do you think we are?"

    Hits me hard in the feels everytime.

    Scrub was so good with those gutpunches, for a while. They got a little forced in later years, but stuff like "My Old Lady," "My Bed Banter and Beyond," the Ben stuff and its fallout - brutal. Good brutal, but brutal.

    Absolutely. Another example of a great show where the main focus character is my least favorite and all of the other characters make the show.

    I still believe in Dr. Perry Cox as the best character in the history of television.

    It's weird how excited I am for How to Get Away With Murder tonight. I didn't think I was going to like the show at all. When you end an episode with the final line they did last week though... It gets you excited.

    I'd put Walter White as my vote.

    I loved hating Walter White and John Locke.

    JD is just an asshole most of the time.

    The thing that always gets me with Locke is how
    the real Locke is dead for almost the entire last two seasons of the show. I mean, obviously, but for a long time I kept having to remind myself "Oh yeah, Locke totally got murdered 2/3rds of the way through the show. Huh."

    I think my favorite cringe-worthy part of the latest Between Two Ferns: With Brad Pitt was...

    Zach: "Is it hard for you to maintain a suntan?"
    Brad: "Why?"
    Zach: "Because you live in your wife's shadow."

    Even more than those big ones is just how constant the idea of death and not being able to really help is in the early seasons of Scrubs. Like the cartoonishness absolutely gets annoying later on, but for its best seasons it's totally necessary, because otherwise the show would've been absolutely pitch black. In the pilot JD's first scene at the hospital is listening to a speech about how if you think you just killed your patient - and at some point you will kill your patient - don't tell anyone. The second(?) episode is a dude who's way smarter than JD dropping out of internship because the crushing stress breaks him. JD's silly fantasies are explicitly a coping mechanism, not because he's a moron.

    Even in the lackluster later seasons, the scene where an incompetent intern
    unknowingly infects and kills that older lady who finally had a clean bill of health was heartbreaking. And they did it with a visual effect that was foreshadowed that episode where Kelso talks about the spread of disease (which I thought was unnecessary until I saw the payoff).

    The episodes where Cox loses it are always the best. So much raw emotion in that character and John C. McGinley played him perfectly.

    You always felt what Cox wad feeling

    I'm watching the pilot of Blackish.

    And I really enjoy it.

    On one hand, I'm happy that Black-ish seems to be doing well. On the other hand I'm sad because that might mean no more Jack Crawford.

    I like Constantine. For a first episode it had some fun dialog and I like fallen angels.

    That was good but the best was:

    "Tell me what it was like when you first laid eyes on Angelina. Was it like one of those classic love stories, like when Ross first saw Rachel?"

    Just watched Arrow season 2, episode nine (aka Barry Part 2), wherein
    Oliver sees dead people. Awww Tommy. It was pretty much a standard "You're awesome" pep talk, but I love surprise cameos like that.

    Also, now I can stop wondering when Roger Cross' inevitable death would happen.

    Reminds a little of early Supernatural.

    My only complaint was that Nergal looked kind of silly.
