Yeah, that fact seems to be ignored largely, doesn't it? BABYSITTERS of P.H.I.L. seems a more apropos title.

It's referring to the fact it's a wonder of wonders the show finally got itself an A- for a second straight week.
Marvel at the high marks!

Triplett appeared to be in the poster put out today as mentioned, so I'd say it's very likely he'll be replacing Ward for the time being.

I feared for Lola's safety when they popped the ramp.
I love that car so much and her Stark hovertech.

But what about unions? Speaking as someone who knows quite a few voice actors, the whole union vs. non-union is a cutthroat issue when it comes to network shows. I like your theory about them saving money because of it, but I'd wager Reed has to be union in order to do the role regardless and simply waives his

I admit this is as pumped as I've ever been for AoS since it's premiere, and yet I still feel let down a bit, mostly because of all the red herrings they kept tossing around and yes, the sparse set dressing. Plus the impact of HYDRA infiltrating SHIELD was far more impactful in Winter Soldier, in all honesty, which is

I like the idea of Agent Psyche Ward being what it is going forward, but I'm also concerned he might be a triple agent, using this as a way to root out any lingering Hydra troops. Granted, that theory goes out the window since he put a few extra lead injections into the back of Hand's head, but what if it turns out

Best part of the episode, IMO.

Agent Brutus Betrayalcus.

Maybe this has been covered somewhere before, but how come Adam Reed doesn't have a credit for himself in the opening? Krieger's part of it now, but Ray's always played a much bigger role in the show. Is it just respect for the actors, a sense of humility?

Oh good, I was afraid I was the only one who thought that was Blossom-y.

Fascinating. I think I too had some that also desired an Oprah-free label, but honestly it's been so long I just try to forget the whole period of time.

Wibbly wobbly?

Newsweek had a marvelous piece on her "health advice" and its inherent dangers she failed to mention in promoting them. To this day it remains one of my most go-to reads when I need a reminder how dangerous her proselytizing can be:

Still, it remains that Oprah's self-pedestalizing put enough pressure on Franzen's publishers to chastise him for his less-than-enthusiastic attitude. He did offer public apologies, but in the most ham-handed way, calling her a public "hero", but "not my hero".

Actually, she became so butthurt by his remarks she rescinded the invitation to come on the show and speak about it.
His publisher wasn't thrilled about his remarks costing them an even larger windfall, but good for him for sticking to his guns.

Rachel Ray's bizarre cleavage.

All I know is, Oprah's gut says "get in mah belly!"

"But sir, that's gasbag Opr—"
