My greatest wish would be for ABC to throw All The Money Necessary at Dom Cooper and do a Howard Stark-centered show. He's just so perfect at being an entertaining, comedic Howard Hughes figure….

Every time I see The 1975, I think, "Hey, I didn't know Jean-Ralphio had a band…"

Oh yeah, I saw the plot point. But I saw it as an answer as to why the vest didn't go off (as opposed to "shoddy workmanship").

In case nobody else has said this already: I'm pretty sure Shiraz did not set off his vest, because he clearly still had an abdomen.

Someone really needs to do a Michael Moore-style fake documentary along the lines of How Many Bothans Need To Die Today?…

Kyber crystals (as the root of a lightsaber) are actually canonical now, I think.

They prefer to be called the Illegonati….

I'd probably still watch that, if only on the hopes that it would turn out to be "Star Wars: Party Down".

He will travel to Arabia and punch out oil.

Agent Carter is a non-fall limited-run series. There's no reason they couldn't shoot 10 shows or so in the summer, leaving Atwell free to do production on a regular series in the fall/winter/early spring. She'd have to give up any potential film shoots in that gap, though, so it might not be an economically good…

For all that was good in this episode, the thing I loved the most is that Howard Stark's cure for the common cold wound up causing intense cold symptoms instead.

Clichés: The following have become clichéd when writing about Star Wars and should not be used:

"YES DAMMIT I KNOW WE COULD BE ROYALS STOP TAUNTING ME YOU KIWI MINX!!!!!"

iTunes for Windows started life as a terrible piece of software.

It stinks!

It's a work in progress. He's no Paul Shaffer.

Also, it was designed as the David Letterman ride, but Universal fucked everything up.

The ride will involve riders getting obliterated on booze and coke and groupies, whereupon the skin from one of their fingers will be ripped off. In the end, there will be nothing for the rider to do but laugh at themselves….

This is the biggest laugh I've had in a month.

Small error note: as the lede photo for this article was the Linda photo used for the cover of "Tug of War", I'm pretty sure it's not Paul McCartney in 1983.
