This never happened to the other fellow.

The Dwayne Johnson suggestion made me think of Vin Diesel's XXX movie, and the opening scene with the tuxedo clad secret agent trying to make his way through a mosh pit.

Christopher Lambert was just from lots of different places.

As big of a professional coup as taking down Heisenberg might be at first glance, the fact that it's Hank's brother-in-law who's been right under his nose this whole time wouldn't exactly reflect well on him.

Spoiler: Dick Whitman died in Korea and the show takes place in the afterlife. 1960's New York is Hell.

Spoiler: Walter and every other character are dead, and have been all along since episode one.. Albuquerque is really Hell.

Highlander occasionally made good use of flashbacks. Of course, 40-70% of every single episode was a flashback, so they were bound to nail one every once in a while.

Dark is fine; I'm just happy for the absence of overt supernatural stuff, because that was central to the original Scooby. Whacky, unrealistic shenanigans—fine. Sci-fi like robots and talking animals—sure. Ghosts—that's not Scooby Doo! The ghosts chasing them are supposed to never be real. (At least, not real ghosts.)

I do enjoy the fact that, like with the original series, the supernatural elements turn out to be hoaxes. Granted, it's weird to laud realism in a show that features intelligent talking animals, but I found it reassuring as a child that the ghosts never turned out to be real.

I liked the episode well enough, but the prototypical backdoor pilot was exactly what I was reminded of from the very start. Not that I think that's what it was, but off the top of my head I can think of a dozen spin-offs that started with episodes that had this exact feel.

Andrea spoke in full sentences and didn't cry. If it's good enough for TV, it's good enough for Woodbury. The bar is set low.

The episode was unpleasantly timely, following a couple of recent incidents in which people were killed on the subway tracks here in NY. Not that it's a particularly rare occurrence. (Just a little more coverage than normal since the victims were deliberately pushed in both instances.)

The poor guy's name is Garry Gergich, people. :(

Well, technically it originated as a fan theory that Abrams gave a nod to.

In an alternate timeline there's a Showtime crossover double feature in which Deb and Dexter meet up with Carrie and Brody in Argentina and have a nice double date.

I feel like I should hate this show and be totally offended by it, but it continually manages to be remarkably entertaining. Loved how they were bored and riding around on the bikes of the 4 horsemen in the end…
