Calling pilight an idiot is rather uncalled for, given that in the same comment they gave a comparable example with Valerie and Valerie’s Family. It’s perfectly rational to suggest that ‘Roseanne’ could be remodelled as, for example, ‘The Conner Family’.

I hope this means they put Coulson into episode IX.

I think it would be fine having one overarching villain if there were more substantial ones in the meantime. Agents of SHIELD S4 (the gold standard for supehero show pacing) divided the show into three arcs, but even though the main villain only arose during the second arc they were a prominent character right from…

I suspect Tambor (along with the rest of the cast) had it in his contract, which would have been agreed to long before season 5 was produced and the allegations came out. And that would be the kind of thing you can withdraw based on misconduct, but it’s both disputed enough and far enough away from Arrested…

Cheers for that info - can I ask, is it treated as though it was meant to be a mystery from S4, or is it just wrapped up and moved along? Obviously a lot of things were left dangling at the end of S4, I’ve been wondering if in this case it was deliberate or its purpose just got lost in the chaos.

I can see why it could be funny - the idea that someone is just so nondescript they get ignored repeatedly no matter how many introductions are made is pretty amusing... I just found the initial gag that it seems to have strayed from funnier. Michael being so self-involved and unwilling to shift his opinions even the…

Yeah, I think it was supposed to be because of the maca, but it doesn’t explain why no-one else felt the same. Maybe the sweat lodge (which George Sr meticulously avoided) sweated it out of the system? But it still felt like it was a big missing chunk of the story.

It got even more awkward when Voldemort showed up and started hugging all the teenagers.

Also of note - the very first sequence of the season is of some of Robin’s drawings, the first of which is a man and woman on a beach with something flying overhead.

I think it’s a pity they didn’t toast Talbot at the end - I know he was a villain for these last few episodes, but before he was shot in the head, reprogrammed by Hydra, and infused with a bizarre substance containing at least two other personalities he was a good (if blustering, oftentimes-moronic) man. Here’s to the…

Fitz went into space frozen in time in ep 5 of the season. In the now-defunct future he joined the others, but that future won’t happen now, so there’ll be nothing waiting for him when he reaches the future. Hence they need to go and retrieve him. Also, someone needs to make Deke’s mum with Jemma. I’d offer, but, you…

He left the base so he could enjoy the world before either a) it cracked, or b) he disappeared, if either of those things were to happen. We don’t know if he disappeared or not (I’d say not, as it’d be nice to see him back for S6). The knife was Fitz’s original, not Deke’s handed down version of the same knife.

The laziness of much MacFarlane (well, primarily Family Guy) humour is apparent to me in a comparison between how FG and South Park handle the same reference point: the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Ah, sorry about that. But I see it in way too many places, and yeah, it rubs me the wrong way too (it made me uncomfortable just writing the example!)

You know, I always assumed it was just a UK/US difference, as I was always taught ‘led’ but have seen so many US articles using ‘lead’ as the past participle (as well as present). But I’ve now looked it up... and nope, it’s just people getting it wrong.

So-So: An Okay Star Wars Story

Yeah, the title of the article is a real mislead - it demonstrates nothing as far as why Howard gets sole credit over Lord and Miller (besides Lucasfilm just wanting him to, which could just as easily have been the case anyway), but it does ably demonstrate the probable reason Lord and Miller were ousted when they…

I heard a high pitched Yanny twice then every time since it’s been a lower pitched Laurel. Freaky.

Very glad it’s coming back... but gaps of this length are really not good for ratings. Nor is the summer. I’m hoping they have a plan in mind to raise awareness, or that they’re doing it as a stopgap until it can transfer to Disney’s streaming service (streaming services don’t seem to find the same trouble with summer…
