That's an excellent point—it's sort of why I mentioned The Big 'C'.   Almost no one commented on those reviews.  Some reviews attracted a mere 3 postings. But anyway, your point is well taken.

I'm also looking forward to Longmire's return and am bummed to discover that it won't be covered here.  You'd think if AV Club could spare somebody to review 3 seasons of The Big 'C', it could review this.  Even though it's a police procedural, it's one with good actors
set in an interesting place that lent itself to…

Liked for "even Trogdor would wince at that."

Liked for the Joe vs. the Volcano reference.

Hah.  That's what I meant by "later" events.  Bloody time travel.

I suppose that works, but "silence" is supposed to "fall" when "the question is answered."  That's why the Silence wanted him to die.  Since the Silence wasn't involved in the episode at all, and isn't shown to have "fallen," it would appear that the Fall of the Eleventh refers to later events at Trenzalore.

She'll make point-five past lightspeed.

I totally want one of those T shirts.

That's how I felt about it, too—I was surprised by the proposal just because it seems absolutely the wrong time to do it, when the characters are at such a depressing point.  Beckett wouldn't know whether Castle was doing it because he truly feels it's the right thing or if he's just scared of her leaving.  There's no…

I wholeheartedly agree. I'm sort of shocked that all the couples on this show failed to engage in such rudimentary discussions. Add to that the insane belief most of them have that the wife is supposed to be "submissive" and this becomes really depressing television. (And I'm a happily married male BTW.)

Woah.

I completely agree, @avclub-ea93d61158b479315c8e0d4cd003ec35:disqus .  I immediately liked Victorian version.  This version is somehow much more boring.

Also good: Shawn announcing his first born child will be named "Starfish," and Gus nodding as if that's clearly an awesome name.

I've never done this, but the next time I tee off I'm going to shout "Kiss my face!" at the top of my lungs.

The thing is, I don't want my movie dinosaurs to have feathers.  Big scaly monsters are scary.  Big Bird is not.

This movie has all the problems of a major theme park and a major zoo. 

The theme song to Cover Up was the smash hit "I'm Holding Out for a Hero" by Bonnie Tyler.  And yes, it's very sad that I remember that.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who immediately thought of The Initiative.  I imagined Riley Finn and Forrest Gates walking very purposefully through the middle of Storybrooke in fatigues. Espensen could make it happen, right!?

I'm really glad somebody pointed out the different effect the universes had on particular characters.  TTLG is when I started to really love this show, and it was the little additional bits of strangeness that made it so easy to love!
