* Hulu may be picking up Community for that hashtag-foretold sixth season (and a movie?). DON'T TOY WITH MY EMOTIONS, HULU.
* Sounds like Mindy Kaling gave an awesome commencement speech at Harvard.
* In Marvel news: Unlike most of its predecessors, the CA: TWS bonus features won't include a Marvel one-shot. Meanwhile, Charlie Cox has been cast as Daredevil for the new Netflix series. Also, I may be an enormous nerd, but this Marvel exhibit in New York sounds really cool.
* Here's another interview with Sutton Foster about Violet and her return to TV.
* Aww, I feel bad for Damon Lindelof and all the Lost hate he gets. I'm looking forward to his new show.
* I am rather intrigued by the idea of Gillian Flynn adapting Hamlet as a novel.
* An interview with the creators of the new comedy Undateable, which I saw the first two episodes of this week and laughed quite a bit.
* I haven't had a chance to see The Normal Heart yet, but here is a moving account of a viewing party.
* An interview with Laverne Cox, who is on the cover of TIME. Also, an account from an OITNB writer on realizing she is gay.
* Amy Poehler wrote a book!
* Matthew Weiner talks about the Mad Men mid-season finale, and Robert Morse talks about his big dance number. Plus, some speculation on how next year's final half-season might wrap up the show.
* Bryan Fuller on the Hannibal season 2bloodbath finale.
* I haven't seen X-Men: Days of Future Past, but apparently the ending needs explaining, so here you go. Also, is this a sign that post-credits scenes have fallen far since Nick Fury's first epic appearance and should be abandoned?
* Emily Blunt talks about the Into the Woods movie.
* I CANNOT WAIT for Snowpiercer to finally come out in the US. Jeremy Renner's new movie, Kill the Messenger, looks pretty good, too, as does the trailer for This is Where I Leave You, starring Tina Fey and Jason Bateman.

I too am taken aback by how much some people hated the Lost finale. Accusations like "you have wasted the last six years of my life"? Really? I mean, it wasn't How I Met Your Mother.

It's rare, though, that a show is really good right up until the very end and then just blows the finale. Most of the time (HIMYM, Dexter, BSG) the show is on a significant downward slide for at least a season or two before the end. Lost, love it or hate it, is what it is for at least the last three seasons. It's not like the ending came out of nowhere, so anyone who hated it really wasted three years of their own life expecting the show to change.
