I'm one of those people - not uncommon - who read text in lines or paragraphs at a time, which means I read books quickly but also means, unfortunately, that when text appears on the screen, I find it hard not to immediately read it while also listening to the dialogue. It makes it really annoying when I watch Daredevi…

There's an interview with Chloe Bennett which mentions that the Russo brothers have been openly uninterested in mentioning the Inhuman population in the context of Captain America: Civil War.

Of course! I saw Charlie Cox playing Irish on Boardwalk Empire before he was cast on Daredevil. Come to that, Finn Jones is British, but I expect Danny Rand will be American in Iron Fist.

It's weird how many American superhero characters end up cast with British or Australian actors.

Yes, I tend to think that both Carter Hall and Kendra Saunders would have to die for the next reincarnations of Khufu and Shayera to be "selected", or however it works. It doesn't matter that Carter died in the Seventies; it matters that Kendra's still alive.

I thought of that immediately, but then again, it has been 150 years. Shakespeare is one thing, but can you name a character from Our American Cousin, the play Abraham Lincoln was attending when he was killed?

It's slightly more annoying that they gave the Exile a definite name.

My impression from the episode was that this Sith temple, built by the female Sith Lord whose voice Ezra hears, dates from the intervening period between the time of Revan and the "present" of Rebels.

I have no concrete inside information at all, but my understanding is that Bruno Heller originally wanted to make a more procedural crime-in-Gotham series with Jim Gordon as the sole protagonist, and without any firmer connections to the Batman rogues' gallery beyond the organised crime elements. The Penguin fits into…

Down to Maul's second line being a more grammatical version of "Away put your weapon! I mean you no harm."

a Batman show without Batman? Da fuck is the point?

It's one thing to be willing to kill Oswald if you're sure he was the assassin, even if you might not make it back to the present to see the fruits of your labours; it's another to take the risk of killing him "just to check" without being 100% sure you can make it back to the future to check, and reset it if you're…

I had this idea ages ago. It's even more appropriate now in the age of anthology series like American Crime and American Horror Story and American Crime Story.

The Butterfly Effect isn't exactly proven science, just a philosophy of time travel. My attitude is actually that there would be a mix of "butterfly effect" and "convergence". Minor actions often DON'T have an effect.

Hmm, maybe. I thought it was at the back of a building.

Pennywise the Dancing Clown is probably just named after the expression "penny wise, pound foolish", which fits the character of an old-timey theatrical clown.

My wife grew up in the South Bay/Lower Peninsula and used to work at the Borders in Palo Alto. James Franco was the celebrity she always mentioned having seen while working there, and the one thing she always said was that he was much shorter than she expected. I guess we're all fooled by seeing him towering over…

My memory of the novel is that he decides to try to save the woman who was shot first as a way of proving to himself that it was possible. Then he tries to save Harry.

I imagine the hard part there is that you can't guarantee that you can get away with killing Lee Harvey Oswald, especially if he is a CIA patsy, and get back to Maine to see if it worked - and you don't want to kill him in 1962 and have to see if you saved Kennedy from a prison cell, either.

I can't find where I saw it, but apparently they didn't have any problems with the rights; on the Hollywood Reporter, the showrunner said she just felt the Derry stuff around the Harry Dunning story didn't further the plot at all, so she moved it to Kentucky to make it a non-issue.
