@avclub-323ca7b091beb1b26cc7a2612f1475d5:disqus But Aiken is better than Greenville, so now I'm confused.

I'm sure the Buckeyes will have a nice, focused season with no distractions whatsoever.

To be fair, it's only been about the last five years that the Gamecocks have been good at either. It's only a matter of time before the Chicken Curse strikes again.

Kinda hoping they can get the kid who played Octavian in Rome for Young Griff.  They probably won't get to that plotline until season 5, though.

Casey Affleck would actually make a pretty good Nightwing.

If so, she'd better work on learning to throw knives with both arms, just in case.

Eh, I'm more interested in Showtime's new series about fucking science.

Affleck's partners: Jennifer Lopez, Jennifer Garner.
Batman's partners: athletic boys in pixie boots.

Well if they're outside counsel they get paid by the hour, so everybody wins.

Okay, but there has to be something in Jerry's contract about termination for cause, and his actions here would have to qualify.

Yes. The institutional failure gets lost in the actions of a couple of Scooby Doo villains that we never have to see again. It would have been better to just let the NewsNight team fuck up and deal with the aftermath.

Gotta leave room for the truly excellent.

We've seen Walt getting chemo on his own. He lies, but not *that* much.

Walt doesn't care enough about Jesse to avoid hurting him emotionally, but cares very deeply about the idea that Jesse is important to him. Killing Jesse would destroy that illusion.

At this point I can't imagine how the Danish public isn't incredibly sick of the Nyborg government.  It's like the early Clinton years, only far less functional and more scandal-ridden.

To be fair, Lex Luthor is usually depicted as a brilliant but ruthless scientist driven to evil by arrogance and an easily wounded pride.  Walter White is a brilliant and often ruthless scientist driven to evil by arrogance and an easily wounded pride.  If anything, it's almost too good a fit.

@avclub-e3f5ab7f02122f95b801e13e2c586d6a:disqus It only takes two!   And it can't be *that* hard to find a writer and director willing to work on a pulp project that meet the "better than Snyder/Goyer" standard.

The Internet hadn't seen Ledger try to play a comic book villain and fail hilariously. Affleck will probably be the least of this movie's problems, though.

Tennant would have been great, but only if he used his real voice instead of that fake Scottish accent he's using on Broadchurch.

Yeah, Wright played a lot differently in Top of the Lake, though I can't say if he qualified as eye-candy.
