He didnt have the same snarky charisma that I really liked with Joel Kinnaman.

I saw this coming really. You could tell that the budget was slashed for the second season as the first season felt like a movie whereas the second season felt like a TV show. I was pretty excited when I saw Daniel from Stargate pop up only to be instantly offed and we were left with a bunch of relative unknowns.
A type of mask does not become magically more effective just because it is located in a different country.
I always liked the bit in Batman Beyond where someone was trying to mess with Bruce’s head, and made the mistake of calling him “Bruce.” Then Terry comes and asks him how he knew it wasn’t real. “Because that’s not what I call myself.”
The dude is an obsessed businessman who made his costume & all his equipment bat-themed. Why wouldn’t he name himself?
It gave me great pleasure that, while Penny Dreadful was airing, Eva Green was killing it across the pond as a Victorian femme fatale in “The Luminaries”. Not to mention, “Perry Mason” coming right after and doing seedy 30s noir so much better. Sorry, John Logan. Karma’s a bitch!
This analysis and thinly-veiled mirror of our current times was well done, but it crawled. For 1938, it got a hell of a lot wrong, including Lane’s character rattling about the “V2” rocket when the V1 hadn’t even been developed yet, and the very strange question of what Magda’s endgame even was, when there wasn’t even…
I love watching Natalie Dormer in anything. Nathan Lane in a dramatic role playing a straight character was amazing. But seriously this was the most boring supernatural, Nazi, clandestine conspiracy show I’ve ever seen. The plot was molasses slow. Characters were so grey it was hard to root for anyone. And for the…
Natalie Dormer deserves a better a show. The prime appeal of Penny Dreadful was how it remixed the pulp fiction horror icons of its period setting, something largely missing from its sequel. And Perry Mason was a lot better at examining the immorality and depravity of early 20th century L.A.
The Romulans are allies at the end of DS9. Romulan alcohol is de-criminalized at that point, and the Cerritos would have aided them in a battle against the Borg. And that’s just the first 5 minutes of Episode 1.
The assumption that anyone making Lower Decks has seen DS9 is laughable.
Might as well keep it in the GM family at least.
FLAG was about taking down the bad guys the cops and government were too corrupt to bring down. The name wasn’t because they were servile to the system, but because they were highlighting how the system was broken and what could be done to make it better. Really, the problem with the moral messaging of eighties tv…

The Trans Am worked because it was a blue-collar car that a cop would pick as a fast sporty daily driver. That means there’s really two requirements, affordable and American, so one of the three American muscle cars. The Mustang seems overused, my vote would be a Challenger RT Scat Pack.
Stealthy.
I wonder if it was an early 1964 model where they were using some parts from 1963 as they made a gradual shift. Like there’s some sort of forgotten 1963.5 model in there where they were testing out turn signals and the license plate light wasn’t ready yet.
Somebody just wants to watch you descend into madness, and they know exactly how to do it.
