This is the first thing I see when I land on the front page? Jeez, there was zero need for that. And I say this as someone who is often yelled at and has food thrown at him by friends who have a different definition of 'spoiler' than I. You're worse than me, AV Club.

A clue as to why it wasn't a hit: this is the greyest movie I have ever seen. Wall to wall grey. Some blues, maybe, but they're greyish. It wears you down.

Also: I learned that they even HAD automatic garage doors in 1938. Who knew?

There's one I'll always remember in 1938's 'They Drive By Night'. The husband is drunk, passed out behind the wheel. He managed to park the car in the garage, but left the engine running.

"That British guy" is also referred to as "Fake John Hurt."

I'm over 40. Did any of you whippersnappers hear The Machine talking to Root before that scene? It wouldn't surprise me if they actually did that.

One correction: Threepeat is played by Rene Gube. And ever since the second episode (but not for the pilot) he's also one of the story editors. Makes me wonder if he was really great at making suggestions at the table read.

And does she just get to be in a coma for the entire series? Cushy gig!

Re: Girlfriend in a Coma casting. Oh! Oh! I know this one! It was just in Entertainment Weekly! It's— It's— (flips pages, finds School of Rock reunion article) Right, right. Miranda Cosgrove.

One thing I did not expect about that fight: the odd intercuts of a little kitten, just watching them duke it out.

A&E's tagline (in Canada, anyway) was always 'time well spent'. Another one that cried out for a sarcastic delivery.
