A good example of this is HOW I heard about each series.

I saw a poster for Arrow off of the 7th street subway in NYC passing by some scaffolding. I only made note of it because my internal monologue was essentially, "Oh, look, Hunger Games got CW all bow-happy." I heard about SHIELD through a buddy of mine who…

Everything here.

Arrow has shown it's a tremendous show, well written, willing to take well thought-out risks. SHIELD is a rehash of a bunch of other shows written like Buffy with HIMYM run time. It's consistently a let down.

To be fair to SHIELD, though, I think it got super (Not even just over-) hyped. Part of my…

I didn't say diets couldn't be scientific. You missed my point. I was only saying that once you say, absolutely, "this is the right thing relative to all these other things" that kind of research is scientific but is not itself scientific IN THAT CONTEXT. Even well tested and researched, it's still an opinion. It…

It's not pseudoscience when it's studied as a branch of biology— purely informative. When it becomes prescriptive ("this diet is best, that diet is best") is when it becomes a pseudoscience, as it relies on too many assumptions to support it's assertions. Humans are adaptive— I would argue biological systems in…

....this is that Gods Among Us series?

Yeah, they promised a super-terrific villain in Peter Pan and have really just consistently let viewers down week after week. I thought we had enough of this tail-chasing, wheel-spinning shit-writing last season. Just goes to show that Jane Espenson can't save everything.

Is this the line? Can this be the line? The point at which we can agree a toy should remain a toy? This looks awful. Just awful.

I'd like to point out that the author has no tactical sense if the guns being both outside halfway between fence and prison AND being mobile seemed off to them. It makes perfect sense.

Rick and Carl were able to get weapons and ammunition in the exact spot they needed to. There's SO MANY good reasons to have a set up…

You mean the giant, mobile, dispersible horde? The one that can scatter the fire in a huge direction, set the forest on fire, set everything else on fire, overrun the prison and ZOMBIE NAPALM the people inside?

You mean use fire on THOSE zombies? Right.

To be fair, he just says, "it's going to be okay' or something like that, as in "something with the cognitive capacity to gas up, turn on, and drive a minivan, stop it before ramming into the gate, and stop the car is here which leaves very few options."

I've found a lot of those kinds of "I have a nit pick!" nit picks…

My opinion on this, like most things dealing with literary jibberjabber, hinges on the answer to one question:

Does Ms. Collins have veto-rights on any of this?

I know it's simplifying things to think she'd sell her soul to be popular enough for movie rights and still keep her veto-rights on the small stuff like…

NOT "good point", ONLY point. Your tangent made no sense the entire time because OP was referring to TV, movies, etc not just TV. ONLY point.

Old season writers room could write a bunch of Crowley, but I hate to admit this: I don't think the new one can. There's a skill to writing those longer scenes featuring the character that I haven't seen evidence in dialogue for awhile on the show. It's still good, but some of the best stuff from Crowley has been…

And this is fair. Like I said, I don't disagree. I feel like this may be a matter of degree— how much it matters to either of us. For me, if they just want to make a pay check by pretending to be themselves as a fish or a dinosaur for kids, that's fine.

The common logic behind it is usually children, I think. Bruce…

Those are exceptions for those actors. Even actors who you mention play themselves sometimes USUALLY play characters in their roles. Chris Rock nine times out of ten does not play himself in any of his roles.

Also, keep in mind, there's usually going to be part of the actor still in the character. It is almost…

So because you don't understand it, it's bad? Because your complaint about the American thing is silly. They don't say HE comes up with the disguise. But a good disguise it is. He has several people helping him who were born and live in the time, and Van Helsing is smart enough to come up with a plan like this.

I dig…

Oh, joyous day. Oh, sweet, blessed day.

I'll be in my bunk.

So no. No proof, then. Cool story, bro.

Is it on a path that would have been used by shepherds in the past? It IS a pretty crafty solution to bridge a gap, hypothetically and what not. Nifty either way.
