I finally started watching The Expanse, which reminds me of all of the things I liked about the Battlestar reimagining. If someone had told me that sooner, I would have gotten to it sooner.

On the one hand, I know the whole "I'm gay, too" scene with the town turning out to support him is ridiculously corny. On the other hand, I wish I lived in that world.

Gotta say, Christoph Waltz has pretty much blown all of his good will for me with boring paycheck villains in Spectre and The Legend of Tarzan, which almost seem like self parodies of his first Oscar win.

I hadn't really thought about it but the POTC villains are a surprisingly respectable group of actors. Rush, Nighy, McShane, Bardem, plus Tom Hollander. Granted, with those budgets I guess you can pretty much afford whoever you want.

I think she can be pretty good in the right part but she's certainly outclassed by the rest of that cast.

Really wasn't sold on the absent minded secretary plot until the final reveal that Bud has been correcting Sol's work, too. Then I got why we spent so much time on it. Waterston really got across how bittersweet that moment might be.

Two of my favorite moments in the revival series are Donna's "just save somebody" speech in Fires of Pompeii and Rory's "You have no idea how dangerous you make people to themselves when you're around" speech because, really, the Doctor needs more companions who call him out on his shit.

It clearly wasn't Freema Agyeman's fault. Whenever they gave her a chance to play a smart, independent Martha - like in her first story or the parts of Human Nature/Family of Blood where she isn't pining after 10 - she delivered. It was just a complete failure of writing.

Rory and 11 might actually have made a more functional couple than Amy and Rory did at times. (Although I guess he is sort of his father-in-law.)

No one will ever convince me that the Fifth Doctor and Turlough weren't hooking up in the TARDIS between adventures (and excluding Captain Jack is hairsplitting at best) but otherwise, yes, that's really cool. Welcome aboard, Bill.

Tom Brady's weird outward perfection actually creeps me out a little. He's like the Stepford Wives of quarterbacks.

Principal Snyder on Buffy. Horrible educator and a complete jerk but I always found Armin Shimerman entertaining in the part.

He got to be the lead in Son of Kong (which, admittedly, is not a very good movie).

One of the things I like about Michelle Gomez's Missy in the revival series is that she's unapologetic about enjoying the awful things she does, sometimes just to get the Doctor's attention. I think that's something both Delgado and Ainley brought to the role, too.

When I was younger I always wondered why you needed that scene in the hospital ward, which seems so unsubtle compared to the rest of the movie. Then I realized you need it because otherwise it would be far, far too easy to start liking Harry a little too much.

Mrs. Lovett in Sweeney Todd, particularly the Angela Lansbury version. She is a straight-up loathsome human being - greedy, petty, murderous, jealous, whiny - and yet somehow I enjoy her. It helps that the only other characters you could support are either psychotic or incredibly naive.

This may be the first episode ever where I really liked the Sol and Robert plotline better than anything happening with Grace and Frankie. Nothing against Fonda and Tomlin - obviously those two are champs and did their best with the setup - but I really felt like the stuck on the floor stuff went nowhere, apart from…

As a gay man raised in a religion that was super hostile to homosexuality I so appreciated Robert's conversation with the former priest. Those childhood lessons can stick doubts in you even when you grow up and have different beliefs and feel comfortable with who you are. It was simple and moving.

Yes. Rainer is basically just an older male Haley in a lot of ways. She actually seemed to be maturing with Andy.

O'Neill or Burrell leaving would make me give up on this show.
