Simulated rape scene by green apple sucker is certainly a new one.

That mumbly, breathy prick? Louise is a bit too spirited to be a mannequin like him. She's more of a Martin Riggs type. Maybe Jules from Pulp Fiction.

You're all overthinking it. The skeletons themselves are largely inorganic.

Also, nothing says "intense episode about loss and love" like an army of C3POs clunking around London.

That was the strangest anti-cremation propaganda video I've ever watched. Any Hindu kids that saw that are in for a real mindfuck.

Instead of basketball or baseball, I checked in on this show for the first time since the pilot. I wasn't initially impressed with the source material or the CW-ification, but I get it better now.

I love that the the amount of well-earned shit Harry Potter/Hunger Games/Hobbit got for stretching their finales into two-parters is up in smoke for this comic book stuff.

Well, it is a cop show…

It's pretty amazing that this show turned itself around like this. It took a lot of changes in management and writers, but this has to be the longest string of unbroken competence in the show history.

Tough sell that the old Simpsons were hacky and stale not fifteen seconds after "The power of Chrysler compels you!"

The best part about the show is how it allows itself to be flexible and veer (sometimes wildly) from genre to genre and convention to convention, often within the same episode. Not two minutes passed between electricity shooting claymation monsters and an "action scene" where the Doctor scuttled his fingers like a

I like how frequently Doctor Who seems to come up with its monsters of the week by walking around a city and pointing at random stuff. What if statues were alive? What if graffiti was trying to eat you?

I'll say it: I liked Shadow of Israphel.

All the usual great burns and one liners as always. Probably too early to go to the Office Olympics well, though. I'd imagine the venn diagram between people who watch B99 and people who watch the first few seasons of The Office is pretty damn overlapping. Tanking the competition is such a Jim/Pam thing to do.

Hate watchers need to get a life. If you're still watching a show at season five, you're a regular viewer like anyone else. We're all in the gutter that is The Walking Dead, sometimes you gotta give one to the stars.

Averaging it all out, I suppose the world as a whole is still the safest it's ever been. Still, the fact that a band of jihadi slavers took over half of Iraq since the last time this show was on seems to have lent its violence a more heightened impact.

That was the saddest supervillain I've ever seen. Sub-Heroes bad, really. It seems to me that the Flash is just like Venture Bros or the Tick, only is the show in on the joke? Have people in the 21st century begun taking him seriously? I always thought he was on the Aquaman tier?

The biggest problem this show will have is that the Flash has a less interesting or iconic rogues gallery than Captain Planet. Any time a superintelligent, talking gorilla is involved is pretty much scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Obviously. Well spotted.

the longer she stays in this one-note diva mode, the harder it is to accept her character
