Hey, so, considering Diggle's family, I've started rewatching from the beginning and what the hell ever happened to his sister-in-law and nephew? Did they just up and vanish at some point . . . because they were a pretty important part of his character early on.

True enough, but that tv trope of "torture, but nothing permanent" ended up working for Buffy when Caleb took out Xander's eye. It's also a question of the purpose of the torture. Is it to extract a confession? Obtain information? Or just to cause pain? In the first two cases, there's a reason to hold back a little…

I loved when the team realized that Oliver'd been easy on them when he kicked their collective asses during all of their training sessions. However, we did see Church go toe-to-toe with Oliver, but it's okay that Church can be just that big of a badass without needing training from the League, or anything.

Do they have one where they murder them all, fake their suicides, and then plot to blow up the school?
Because they're TOTALLY going to stick with the source material on this one.

Wasn't it, "That Soul belongs to ME!"? I laughed at that one . . . it was a pale shadow of what Modern Family used to excel at . . . using multiple characters and storylines to carefully set up a gag that only reveals itself at the punchline.

The stool and lunchtrays were nice touches.

Absolutely loved all the rioting hardened prisoners booking it back into their cells as Ghost Rider came walking down the cellblock.

I was gonna say, Bull Durham is THE baseball movie. Major League is a fun, goofy movie that happens to be about baseball.

A thousand points of light . . .

GRIDLOCK!!!

See, I think the constant need to "ramp things up" is the problem with this show. After six seasons of pure misery it all just bleeds together. Instead, they should actively work to LOWER the stakes for a while, and find the drama in smaller challenges. The most interesting part of the show, for me, was when they were…

It's possible to science-babble your way around the whole "but they'd be completely decomposed" thing, WWZ style. The short version, I believe, was that the zombie virus also rejected organisms that would usually feed on dead flesh, from crows and buzzards to flies and bacteria. The virus also acts as a kind of…

Well, that's the thing, this is the 7th freakin' year of relentless "Life Is Shit, Then You're Zombie-Chow" repetitiveness that probably should've wrapped up after season 3. I'd honestly be interested in seeing a society actually form up and come together with zombies as a natural phenomenon like the weather rather…

I dropped out after the Terminus storyline wrapped up. People kept telling me that it got better and I refused to believe it. Glad I was ultimately vindicated. I got sick of the show for all the reasons listed in the review . . . for me it stopped being a fun zombie show years ago and has largely just become misery…

I've been rewatching the start of Arrow, and I REALLY think Amell was underestimated from the beginning. Kinda like how people gave the show shit for him killing people or, early on, people wondering why he'd have all this technical knowledge if he'd been on an island for five years. As it turned out, these weren't…

"Dying takes a lot out of you."
"I've heard. We should start a club, get some t-shirts made up."

I think that all qualifies, more or less, for the grand-chessmaster version of Luthor as well, the main difference being that defeating Luthor definitively (rather than stopping his latest scheme but leaving the man, himself, untouched) needs to be a HUGE win. It's probably just a difference in when we got into the…

That's true, but "completely human, well known criminal who's a scientist" just doesn't work for me as a foil for Superman. Simply because if they're ever face-to-face, Luthor is in prison before he can blink. Coming up with excuses for why he isn't gets really stupid really quickly. Donner's Superman got around it…

Yeah, first he's "Superman, The Crow Edition" with his all black gear and trenchcoat with a white, spray-paintey "S" shield on his chest. (So, half "The Crow", half "Punisher".) Then he moved to the elaborately embossed red leather jacket with a big "S" shield. It wasn't like the show was shy about people looking…

Haven't seen Suicide Squad, but I think Henry Cavill was a great choice. It's not like he doesn't have the chops for it, it's just that over, what, 4 1/2 hours of movies, he hasn't been given anything but "broody and conflicted" to play. He could definitely pull off a more hopeful, cheerful Supes if given half a…
