She has an awesome glare.  I'd hire her for flak-catcher any day.

The only thing funnier than Sally Phillips' pseudo-Finnish affectations were JLD's' echoing them.

Watching this finale, I smell politics in the writing room.  Showrunner shown the door.  Show heavily criticized, even by loyal fans, for certain plots and characters.  Solution — use finale to kill off unwanted characters and plotlines with sufficient motivation for the survivors to get all revengy next season,

This episode seemed a bit tired when I first watched it on Sun night.  But I watched it again on Mon morning, and I now think it's an A.  Just love the masterful Richard Dunn, who lost the wheelchair and oxygen tank from Luck and just carted his character into this show, rapidly taking over the West Wing scenes.

Indeed, Ms. Phillips is terrific in everything I've see her in, starting with Smack the Pony.  And Armando would be well aware of her, as she is ubiquitous and very popular in the U.K.  (I was an expat over there for a decade). That he scored her and got her some American money is cool.  The stuff she was doing in the

Ja.

DW:  "I'm the Doctor."
Major Palmer: "Doctor what?"
DW: "If you like. And this is Clara."

Seriously, Moffat and Co. would be fools if they didn't get Suranne Jones (as the Tardis) and Jenna-L C in the same frame in a battle of wills for the Doctor's heart(s).

Had it not been for the Flintstones, I would not have known Wilma even was a name.

I watched a super cool urban fantasy, kind of YA oriented, with a whole bunch of CGI made in 2005, starring a young actor named Stephanie Leonidas.  It was called Mirrormask and was written by Neil Gaiman (who else?)  It also had Rob Brydon and Gina Mckee, but the little babe stole the show, I mean ENTIRELY, playing

I seem to recall that Homer got a psychedelic rush from chili peppers or something that was a whole episode, complete with Teachings of Don Juan moments.  In fact, if I recall, Barney belches and it becomes a whole "Lucy in the Sky" flash that was so over the top, that single cut of him was never shown  when the

Maybe we'll get to see Jenna square off with Suranne.  Now THAT would make a whole season.

Voice actors:

I don't know exactly how I found out, but I read online that they were clones before the premiere aired.  So I'm mystified by the fact that it was supposed to be a mystery.

As a matter of period prop propriety, David Warner wears on his hip a walkman, sony type, and it's bright yellow.  I had one of those — it's the waterproof version. You could take in the ocean and no water would get inside.  I bought mine in 1985.  Not much of a beach person, I never tried it out, but I can attest

I'm very forgiving of GoT because I just love the show, but this episode…   I can only say that it left me cool, and upon re-watching it, I couldn't.  I fast forwarded through nearly every scene because  there wasn't anything interesting to me in any of them.  The only things that merited a second viewing were the
