Honestly I'm more surprised Missy isn't getting the spin-off treatment became a low key MVP of the show. 

Actually, the way they advertised it is one of the reasons I never bothered to watch until it was all over. They set it up as another ho-hum procedural cop/detective drama in the teasers every week.

I like to pretend The Flight Attendant is “Young Penny”, & TBBT Penny doesn’t have a last name because it’s an alias; she’s Cassie in witness protection.

Nolan sold it as a standard procedural and the hook was The Machine. Like Elementary or N3mbers or any number of other shows, they thought the hook would be mostly just a meaningless gimmick that didn’t affect the plot in any significant way (hell, they now have the US Navy investigating crimes in Australia somehow) an…

CBS, the most risk-averse network ever. How Person of Interest ever got approved, I'll never know. 

You never heard ALL the jokes about Leonardo DiCaprio’s dating?!? For example, “This ceremony is so long that by the end, Leo’s date will be too old for him to be interested in anymore.”

I don’t agree? Male celebs definitely have been/are known when they date a few big name female celebs.

Right. She had no clue that there was a joke coming her way and she was simply existing going about her life.

Honestly, god help anyone who says ANYTHING about her if we’re referring to that Jo Koy joke as “cringe-worthy.” It was not a good joke. It was barely a joke. But my goodness, is it being blown so absurdly out of proportion. “Taylor Swift is dating an NFL star and gets shown on TV a bunch.” Oh, what a diss to Tay-Tay.…

God help whoever makes a really GOOD joke at her expense.

We all know that the proper way to do special effects for ‘Doctor Who’ is to raid the BBC stationery cupboard and make the week’s monster out of whatever you can glue together.

They’ve also overcompensated with episode runtime that run an hour or more, which can make for some screwy pacing. I don’t miss ads, but I think there’s value to having restrictions.

I agree with the sentiment, but I would prefer shorter episodes. Instead of eight 75-minute episodes, how about 12 episodes about 45 minutes?

so edgy, bro

I’d be really nice on set too if I knew while I was at work my house was going to be cleaned by religious pseudo-slaves that also do all my gardening and build me fancy cars and what little pay they do get comes from my church and not from me.

Tom Cruise is a leader of the Scientology cult and they 100% tried to keep Masterson out of jail and raping.   You stupid fucking idiot.

It’s not just that he’s proselytising it, he’s been the de facto number 2 after Miscavige. He’s not just aware of the abuse, harassment, blackmail and borderline slavery of lower ranking Sea Org members, he’s responsible.

I think it’s also fair to consider how he may or may not treat people he sees as “on his level” (e.g. costars) differently from those “beneath him” (e.g. low-level scientologists)

There are a lot of people out there who don’t know the shit that Scientology has pulled and continues to pull. Though anyone in the acting business is doing themselves a disservice if they don’t look into it, if only to save themselves a lot of time and money.
