I like the anthology concept. I wish more shows would do it.

I think the occasional appearance of the UFO is a very oblique pop-cultural reference that anyone who was alive and sentient in the late 1970s will get right away.

I do get lots of links to advance screeners, which helps, but there's no way I could do my job without the full-on cable subscription.

I've loved the "Star Wars" movies for the ride and pure fun and found that it just didn't stand up when asked for more, particularly when it comes to back stories, prequels, spin-offs, encyclopedic scope, etc.

In fact, when it comes to TV, I'm not even sure what my real, true preferences are.

Whenever people ask me if it's okay to stop watching "The Leftovers," I always say OF COURSE IT IS.

In the end, all critics should be guided by this one principle: Is this piece of work [TV show, movie, play, concert, album, restaurant] succeeding at what it set out to do?
