We can always admire a person's talent without admiring the person.

Reminds me of a story I heard.  Richard Harris got an award for something, and newspapers announced it as "British actor gets award".  He's Irish, so he doesn't like this, gets drunk, and goes berserk.  The following day the newspapers announced, "Irish actor gets arrested."

I think His Excellency is confusing history with the editorial page of Handjobs Monthly.  Those guys go too easy on everybody.

Yeah, I know.  It's why I said "remake".

Cynthia Nixon was a man?

You haven't lived until you've seen this dubbed into Ukrainian.

Green Hornet remake?  Guest starring the Shadow, the Spider, and Doc Savage.

Is the lake shaped like a swastika?

If you're a straight, white male dude, the industry will listen to you, no matter how dumb your ideas are.  Pass the Nuts'n'Gum.

Was Canada?

Oh yes.  I don't get why the Muppets still aren't available (unless it's over song rights), but then again, I also remember Roger Moore's "Talk to the Animals" while being attacked by Muppet spies..

If I remember right, the Muppets dressed up as superheroes when Chris Reeve guest starred, but Lynda Carter did show us Miss Piggy as "Wonder Pig" so I was surprised when the commentary track didn't mention that as an inspiration for this episode.

Suspension of disbelief is so darn delicate.  Here we have a show full of undead blood-drinkers, fire monsters, ancient Greek priestesses, mediums of all types, shapeshiters, werepeople, and what knocks mine out?  The politics.  First I stop to wonder how a Southern state can afford to build such a massive prison AND…

Arguably, it does somewhat pay off prior installments as Tony's stuff gets blown to bits with an ending that reminded me of Dark Knight Rises.  Plus, I think the closing credits promised Tony Stark would be back.

And he spotted Rita with a neighbor while Dex was having Thanksgiving with Trinity and didn't know what to tell Dexter.

There's worse than trying to drown Dexter and herself in shallow water.  What if Dexter was Aquaman?

Dexter gets the chair, or a good ol' fashioned hanging, when just as he's about to die, he wakes up in bed at the Fisher And Sons Funeral Home next to Mathew St. Patrick, telling him all about the bad dream he's been having.  Then he gets a phone call from Bob Newhart.

I'm not sure which was my favorite episode, but my favorite line is, "I don't think falling 20,000 feet and getting hit by a subway did the Tick much good."

Well, they say our educational system is in decline…

Frank Miller showed the two arguing as TV pundits in The Dark Knight Strikes Again or whatever that piece of crap sequel was called.
