And he later railed against gay marriage when she got married to a man after her operation. Her husband pointed out that if any of them were gay, it was Mac: "I think you've been confused for a long time."

The original pilot, even, where she was played by Morena Baccarin.

I think Mac being gay brought a lot of life to the show. Some of the best gags of the later seasons revolve around it, and I think "Country Mac" might be my favorite episode.

I believe that Dee would be that evil. We found out last season that she's sexually assaulted a number of men (like brother, like sister), and she was planning to murder Frank and Dennis for Bruce Mathis's inheritance money.

Ugh, what an asshole.

Yeah, thank god. It was such a straightforward film (I mean, literally… they're walking through a train) and most films are pretty long now anyway, I don't see any reason why it would need an edit for American audiences.

I'm still laughing at how badly they botched Snowpiercer's release. They had a killer "Hunger Games for adults" premise and no less than Captain America for star power, but they still chickened out and barely released it. Their loss is Netflix's gain, though.

I actually love the idea of the Marvel superheroes fighting a Hydra-infiltrated government, since that's exactly the kind of superhero fantasy I need right now. But I want Captain America on the front lines fighting the Nazis, not corrupted by them himself.

To quote Grant Morrison:
"People say kids can't understand the difference between fact and fiction, but that's bullshit. Kids understand that real crabs don't sing like the ones in The Little Mermaid. But you give an adult fiction, and the adult starts asking really fucking dumb questions like 'How does Superman fly?

Did they miss the part of the movie where Dr. Strange is a fucking wizard?

They were definitely teasing Veronica/Betty. In fact, I got the feeling Veronica was more interested in Betty than Archie…

To be fair, this show has been in production for at least three years now, so I think they couldn't have been aware that the Jughead writers would make him asexual last year. The showrunners did say they wanted to introduce an asexual character on the show at some point, we'll see if they make do or not.

Okay, but it's a show about a narcissistic, incompetent, brute who is obviously going to hurt the children, and the children keep saying "This is clearly a madman, please take him away!" but the adults keep responding with "Now, don't be rude, kids, give him a chance." Not everything has to do with Trump, but fuck me

I get the feeling that she IS competent, but is waylaid by whatever cold war she has going on with Olaf. I've never read the books, so I may be wrong, but I was under the impression maintaining her cover was more important to her even than protecting the children, or that if she just spilled the beans she and the

I got that impression as well. They always seem on the run from other agents, and as we see in this episode Gustav gets murdered. We also see Snicket avoiding someone who is knocking at his door, while later there's the great "Fire!" scene that really upped the excitement for me.

I am a first-time viewer, never saw the movie or read the books. Given the books reputation, I thought "This is a bit more optimistic than I expected…" until I got to The Miserable Mill. Holy cow, this show goes from good to great in those last two episodes. I didn't see the first twist coming, or the second one,

The series already feels very Wes Anderson to me anyway.

Going to the Center for the Puppetry Arts was the closest thing to a religious experience I've had in my adult life. You see a lot of misty eyes when you pass through that Sesame Street exhibit.

Darth Vader also says they had to lie to the Senate about the Death Star not existing. In A New Hope, some of the Imperial higher-ups are worried about the Rebel Alliance gaining support in the Senate, then Tarkin informs them that the Senate has been dissolved and replaced by the Death Star. "The last remnants of

They could give them royalties for the characters they created, like the Beagle Boys. DC has a policy of paying their creators for characters showing up in movies and TV shows, though in recent years they've been ignoring that policy with the CW shows, a subject of controversy, obviously.
