The women's US Open final took 59 minutes. How could that possibly be labeled as "excellent"? Good for Clijsters, yes, she displayed her hardcourt mastery, but the match was a joke.

@GhaleonQ — women's tennis is better than men's tennis right now? Are you being sarcastic? Just look at what happened between Clijsters vs. Zvonerava and Nadal vs. Djokovic in this year's US Open. The competition in the women's game is bad right now. It's been bad for a while.

Snooze-fests
"Women's tennis is in something of a doldrums right now, but "Unmatched" is a bracing reminder of when it was one of the most exciting games in town."

Bat-Manuel!!!

Her Voice!
Can't go wrong with any song off of Amplified Heart. One of my top 10 albums for sure. Great to see her continuing to sing after a little break from EBTG. My favorite female vocalist of all time.

Before the Big Bang
"Like, how did The Woman get there? "There's only me," she says to The Mother—but we know The Woman lies. And how did she make the kids immortal? How long has The Island been in existence?"

Captain Christopher Pike
Was I a doofus for expecting Anthony Cooper to be in a wheelchair-mobile with a single red light and a very loud beeper?

Changed Lyrics in "Fire"?
Am I the only one who noticed that they changed the lyrics to "Fire" so it doesn't sound like the date-rape song that it is?

Dinner Scene Cinematography
The dinner scene between Walt and Skyler was very apt, shooting the wide beam squarely between them the entire time.

Also a Brooke White fan, but man, the lighting did no favors for her. She basically looked like a ghoul.

Con, you're absolutely right. Me and my tiny brain…

Back in the mother's va-jay-jay?

House and Prof
My favorite moment (paraphased due to my tiny brain):

Way to Turn the Tables on Walt
I thought the genius part of Skylar was how she used Louis against Walt in a blink of an eye. You know that Walt invited Louis to dinner to avoid any sort of a scene from Skylar after their heart to heart talk in the morning. But little did Walt know that he'd be the one who had to

@Dark Passengerside Airbag — man, thanks for the laugh. Funniest thing I read all week.

We're Sure the Man in Black Exists in Flash-Sideways?
Has the Man in Black necessarily escaped and is roaming the world in the Flash-Sideways universe? The island is sunk; is it not possible that the MiB is sunk with it, i.e., dead?

Walt vs. the Two Goons
The two goons are scary-bad, yes, but I have a sneaking suspicion they're gonna get their asses handed to them by Mr. White, Chemistry Teacher, by the season's end.

Blade Runner II
The only sane reason I can think of for Lilly Scott leaving the show is that Ridley Scott is filming Blade Runner II and he needs a new Darryl Hannah.

St. Elmo's Fire
The theme that's playing throughout the trailer sounds like a tiny variation on the St. Elmo's Fire theme. I guess the composer got lazy.
