The main problem with making a “Pete Rose wasn’t that great” argument in an article in praise of Ichiro is that most of the “Pete Rose wasn’t that great” arguments can be applied equally well to Ichiro.

I loved the way the documentary held on him for a couple extra seconds after he said that. It was a real “Get a load of this asshole” moment.

I'm not sure Shaw's alt-universe thing really made much sense. Finch's interpretation was that her employers never tried to murder her. But they tried to kill her because Cole was digging around, trying to find out about the machine. What we saw of him here seemed to indicate that he was still quite curious about the…

Disgraceful to not include Oggie The Dinosaur, of “RUN! YOU STUPID FUCKING DINOSAUR! RUN!” fame.

I recall really liking the episode that spoofed the "characters get trapped together and are forced to work out their differences" trope.

That does seem more likely. I just gave his episode a rewatch and it works pretty well with this one. In fact, the final shot is the machine POV with the words "Monitoring Subject: Pierce, Logan."

Always wondered why they never brought those hackers back, especially when they made a point of showing them all getting cover identities in the season 3 finale.

CBS left all the returning numbers off the guest cast in the episode's press release, so I really perked up when I saw Jimmi Simpson's name in the credits. His episode ended in a way that seemed to imply we'd see him again but enough time had passed that I figured it wasn't to be.

Sure, I remember that. But the mere fact that he placed that tracker on him implied that he was now making it his mission to figure out what Reese's deal was. So presumably the tech genius with unlimited resources found a way to get in touch with the machine. Or maybe the machine saw him digging around and decided to…

Yeah, we're left to do a lot filling in the blanks. We know the Machine started using Harper as an asset last season and Logan's episode ended with him putting a tracker on Reese in the hopes of figuring out his operation. Those two things leave enough room to hand-wave something together, I think

There was a rather sizable subset of critics who insisted that this one was the better movie back when it came out. Fortunately, we managed to round them all up and put them into camps, so you don't hear from them anymore.

He doesn’t own the show anymore. He owned it when he was hosting, but he and his production company have no stake in Colbert’s show.

No idea why this is getting so much play today. He said the same damn thing over a year ago.

Good thing Hopkins has got that movie with McKellan coming out. Bought himself another five years of credibility to do crap like this without us mocking him.

“I would never do that,” Kirkman assured the interviewer. “That’s the one thing I’m disappointed in George R.R. Martin for doing. He should have just been like, ‘Fuck you. You make it up now, I’ll get to mine when I’m ready.’”

Kind of reminds me of the internet glee when Contagion was coming out and everyone found out that Gwyneth Paltrow would die a brutal death in the first 10 minutes.

Yeah, that’s a very strange play. I’m sure pressuring the news director off camera isn’t that unusual, but once he refused to play along I’m not sure how she thought stopping the interview like that would fix things.

Nah, he’s just doing the period trick.

That was amazing. In the final couple minutes it was like OKC forgot how to even dribble.
