I plan on watching this, despite the fact that I gave up on Underground after the pilot. It's hard to explain, but I think that was because I thought that a narrative about Africans trying to escape bondage deserved more gravitas than the TV "action-adventure" treatment that it appeared to be given there.

What a week.

DC under Didio has done such a consistent job fucking over the Original Writer's legacy at this point, it must be personal. Honestly, after the debacle of Before Watchmen, why keep doing this?

And someone else has to hire Leslie Mann. Go ahead, I dare ya.

Hey, is Salma Hayek's career over because she played Sandler's wife in Grown-ups? How about Jennifer Aniston? Or Drew Barrymore?

Richie Brockleman, Private Eye.

Of all the MCU movies, the Captain America movies follow the comic storylines most closely. If only they could get that level of writing (mostly by Ed Brubaker) back on the comics.

Steve Englehart wrote Cap, among other titles, for a memorable stretch during the 70's. Whether by design or not, as the 70's were ending, Englehart enacted some neck-snapping plot twists in his books that proved to be incongruous, unpopular, and just plain insulting. Twists like retconning Sam Wilson into a…

I really wanted to comment on the current X-Men malaise. Rather than just pop the balloon, like they did with FF, they seem content to just let the air seep out of the X-Men franchise.

Didn't love the ending. Although I appreciate the urge to do something different than the classic cliffhanger/foreshadowing finale, that's kind of what they did here.

Of the many things the Flash writers have screwed up this year, two that have been handled consistently well are Cisco's dialog, and the Joe/Barry relationship.

Maybe I could take Hardwick more if he wasn't so uncritically rah-rah about horrible crap, like Fear the Walking Dead.

We are approaching a situation where all shows will require a post-show with Chris Hardwick. Arrgh.

I agree about the failure of Constantine. While Matt Ryan was well-cast, the Supernatural as it appeared there was so much over-explicated hooey. Hopefully, this show will not feel the need to be so literal-minded.

It's strange that I mostly didn't need the subtitles that they provided for Eugene, but desperately wanted some for Cassidy.

Male life partner.

After playing along for the first couple of episodes (who can forget the total ridiculousness of the bus crash in episode 1?), I was starting to think Banshee was your typically implausible TV show, with only nudity to set it apart from network fare.

This season seemed to be a paradox for a couple of reasons. On one hand, they had a lot of plots to resolve, and less time to do it in. On the other hand, they apparently couldn't conclude some of those plotlines a certain way, due to Starr's limitations and budget restraints, so they needed something to kill some…

It was obvious that Banshee fight scenes were more demanding than your average TV brawls. But I didn't realize Starr had taken that much actual punishment. This explains why this season wasn't the wall-to-wall slugfest I would have liked.

The casting of this movie seems strange to me, as Gosling and Crowe both seem to take themselves too seriously to goof around in a Shane Black crime caper. I guess that's acting.
