You've nailed it, I think— hence his ridiculous obsession with acquiring a remote control before he can watch television.

John Stamos, since long before Full House, and to the present day, actually, really, no joke, is a member of the Beach Boys, albeit intermittently. He's performed with them since the 1980s as a drummer and percussionist, and he's involved in their 50th anniversary tour. He's in the "Kokomo" video. Over a thousand…

Just pointing out here, since nobody else has yet apparently, that Emma's situation is now a precise mirror of Michael's (intentionally so, I imagine): Emma's significant other is dead while her child lives on in one universe, but her child is dead and her significant other lives on in the other.

"Gung Ho" starring Scott Bakula as Michael Keaton in a TV series with a Chinese title about getting into shenanigans with those wacky wacky Japanese.

I do believe that was Oenomaus's hand that the Egyptianator pierced, not his own.

That kind of memento would be far too dangerous to give. I'm guessing Ashur took it as some kind of leverage over Glaber in the first place. As soon as Lucretia sees it (and she will, given the way they highlighted Ashur's trophy box) she can turn Seppia against Glaber in an instant. I'm looking forward to Seppia's…

To each their own, of course. Considering that I hated it more than any other episode I've ever seen (and bar the First and Second Doctors, I've seen them all), that alone probably makes it worth revisiting to see if I can figure out why my reaction was so hostile.

Yes! The abuse of power over those who don't have it is the moral linchpin of this show. To argue whether or not Lucretia "deserved it" is to miss the point. That we feel pity for Lucretia regardless of what she has done, once she is the one without power, is entirely the mission of that scene.

To Seth Bullock: In the interests of drama, I understand that we achieve a
kind of satisfaction when villains receive their just desserts. However,
when most fictional villains are killed and we get our cheap thrills
from their execution, we do not linger on their pain, nor are we invited
to see them as three…

Clarifying to Skullcrusher Mountain Goat: You said "It's hard to argue that Lucretia doesn't deserve everything coming to her", including rape. I was responding simply that, no, it's not hard at all to argue that at all. Maybe you don't agree with my argument; but I am far from unique in the world if I feel repulsion…

You should feel dirty. It's not "hard" to argue that at all. If you think that rape is something horrible, then it remains something horrible, no matter who is the victim.

Hoping that Woody's camp is savvy about things online would not be very savvy at this point. I suspect it's more that the AV Club is savvy enough to realize that when Woody and his camp say "Just stick to questions about the movie or you don't get an interview", that it's better to just get a tepid interview than…

The rubber masks get a pass. They're a regular— TOO regular— part of the original Mission Impossible TV series. If there was any nicking between Darkman and MI, it's the other way around. Though it being Sam Raimi, I suspect Darkman's bigger influence was not so much MI as Scooby Doo.

The kids in that Dragnet clip really suck. Never heard a worse pack of strawman arguments in my life, and they just sit there dumbstruck.

So far nobody seems to have picked up on what seemed like a pretty clear parallel with the case-of-the-week: both Peter and Eugene are attempting dangerous home experiments in order to be seen, to try to be able to interact with with the people they love. I do believe it's a strong hint that if Peter tries to go…
