But that would have complicated the unnecessary clueless Boomer dad reaction to the unnecessary “Snowflake Generation” reference. That line required a middle-aged white guy in a suit drinking whiskey, and everything was clearly crafted backwards from there.

> meet the vampy rival (Cara Buono)

There are still so many precipices for her to be dangled over while a bunch of tied-up schoolchildren nervously watch a timer tick down and a villain snarls “Choose!” at Batwoman.  No way we are spending that nickel already. 

A romantic history with the daughter of the man who employs both of us in his private security organization is the kind of thing I would prefer my wife to share with me pretty early on in the relationship, even if nobody expects to see her (the daughter) again. At minimum, it might make me decide it’d be better to…

Why else would they call it “eating your feelings?”

A bit late, but as someone who groused about BlondeSiren’s new ‘do earlier this season I agree that the new costume does make it look 100% better.  I’ve always been a fan of Dinah’s Black Canary duds too -- the bare upper arms help her stand out in a sea of tight leather jackets.

Sounds like one of the jobs that respondents in The Onion’s “American Voices” pieces tend to have: Lettuce Wilter, Toblerone Carver, Patchouli Expert, Tontine Arranger, Boiling Water Attendant, etc.

Similarly, Lodge 49 not at #49 is a missed opportunity; there’s really nothing about Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt that makes it 7 places better on such a large list. Set aside the verdict and give us the alchemical symbolism we deserve!

Unrelated suggestion - don’t peel them all the way naked.  Leave about 1/3 of the peel on to give you something a bit less slippery to hold onto while you cut them.  This should both reduce your knife injuries and add a little texture to your taters.  Also, add a little butter to your boilin’ water.  Because butter.

As one of the fortunate sons who was a teenager in the back half of the 1980s, Creedence pumping out of the speakers doesnt seem anachronistic to me at all; the mid-to-late decade featured a revival of ‘60s/’70s music and even fashion (a bumper crop of Vietnam War movies like Platoon, Full Metal Jacket, Hamburger Hill…

One of the things I enjoyed most about American Horror Story’s early seasons is the way Ryan Murphy was burning through horror tropes like the cops were closing in. After the (even crazier) second season, Asylum, I couldn’t imagine how there was anything left in the tank for a third.

Elsewhere in the Arrowverse, Kelly Olsen is having the same problem, although she did have a better-than-average episode this week. Introducing a character to “fill a role” rather than as an interesting person in their own right tends to yield subpar results.

It’d be good for shooting down jumbo jets too, I suppose.  Even cruising altitude is only about 8 miles high.

/me just soldiers and keeps his mouth shut.

I watched his Comedy Central sketch show (Alternatino) over the summer, and it showed me that he does have some pretty good acting chops; not quite at Jordan Peele’s level, but able to create and inhabit a variety of different characters.

To just immediately disregard the whole premise of the piece and talk about that pooping scene (sorry), my favorite thing about it is how hilariously well Maya Rudolph plays the final coup de grace, when her resistance finally gives out and she sinks to the ground moaning “It’s happening... it’s happening...” Such a…

I have been a comics fan for most of my life and therefore I hate to turn into Mr. Physics but:

1) A gun that shoots a beam 100 times hotter than the sun’s core - that’s 1.5 billion degrees Celsius if you’re keeping track - probably sets our entire atmosphere on fire as soon as you shoot it the first time, or…

Certainly not finding anybody else’s DNA at the scene of an apparent kidnapping/murder ought to’ve been a clue that maybe dude was not in fact kidnapped.

I think the “Kara’s secret” piece is just a symptom of Lena’s larger issues with trust and vulnerability. She’s been manipulated all her life, and while the rest of us have to just learn to live with that and put up some boundaries where appropriate, she’s a Luthor, so of course the answer is “mind control to save…

If I hold back on recommending a place I eat regularly, it will always be for the atmosphere, not for the food. I’m fine eating Sunday brunch at a neighborhood restaurant where the average age of the clientele is over 70 and all of them spend 20 minutes chatting up the waitstaff while I wait on a drink refill, but…
