That was the big thing of the time, wasn't it— so many actors who just made things look effortless: Mitchum, Peck, Bogart, Henry Fonda, Jimmy Stewart, Cary Grant, Fred MacMurray, Dana Andrews, and all those sorts of guys.

One of my favourite things about Robert Mitchum is how he stepped up and filled in for Edward Woodward following his heart attack during the filming of The Equalizer. That was such a huge deal at the time, considering Mitchum just didn't do episodic TV (aside from the Herman Wouk miniseries). He was about the only…

So, pretty much happened the first time around.

She's the Leda of whom The Swan said, "Nah, I'm fine, thanks."

That moment has been so thoroughly and ubiquitously meme-ed in forums and the like that I find it impossible to dissociate him from it. McHattie's obituary will probably read "'It's a Fake!!!!' actor dies," kinda like what happened with Clara ('where's the beef') Peller.

Probably just one of the Toronto islands nobody outside of the GTA has ever heard of.

What I meant was: if the show was working with hurried production times and had associated cost issues, one very obvious option to cut corners was to keep the clones apart as much as possible. The various methods used to film scenes with two or more clones together are time-consuming and, on a TV production,…

I was just glad Scott got something to do this week.

As I've said here before, the show needed to pull in someone of much greater weight/gravitas than McHattie to be the show's ultimate Big Bad. That also would have meant splashing out some big(ger) money than it was evidently willing or able to do.

Whose Line has been all over the place, so its 17% drop isn't actually as bad as it could or even should have been. The CW hasn't been at all consistent with it, either in times of day/timeslot or airing pattern (e.g., airing it every week). It has been a complete mystery when it was going to be on unless you…

I do hate to seem like I'm out to get Stephen McHattie, but I literally laughed out loud several times this episode because he was so ridiculously overacting. Westmoreland (or, whatever) is just a caricature of a caricature of a caricature at this point and that 'pulls off his wig' moment was just awful.

I wonder if there were filming issues which made it necessary to keep the clones apart so much this season. But, definitely, the "now they fight together" line was a load of old toss.

Yeah, except for the callback effect, bringing them back was pointless, save, I guess, for putting the entire Castor plotline out of its misery.

Let's say, Moe.

I will always hate that stop-and-start use of flashbacks. It nobbles narrative momentum and, frankly, I find them bloody irritating, even if done well, because it breaks whatever immersion one had in the story. While the flashbacks were executed well enough, I really wish they hadn't relied on that device so much…

UPDATE: RPatt jerked on that dog.

A give them a B+. Grammatical, clear, concise and effective, but also reliant on cliché and stylistically a little bland; nonetheless, perfectly serviceable words which won't be confused. Well done.

Hopefully his platform fall out from beneath him while the noose is around his neck.

Up north, the CBC did. Had to. Big time. Don't look up the name Jian Ghomeshi unless you want to get really, really, really angry.
