Jason David Frank, a commie? No!!

Vigilante isn’t a sheriff on the Mexican border
I'm going to be honest. That's a damn shame. Imagine all that you could do with this premise, right here, in the 21st century.

NTSF:SD:SUV is damn brilliant when you watch it through blurry, tired eyes at midnight on a Tuesday. It's still pretty good but not as good if you watch it during daylight hours.

It was a very specific type of humor that probably couldn't sustain itself for more than it did. But June Diane Raphael was delightful. "Buh-layze."

Aw, man. That whole "exhaust port spitting flames" off the side and top of his skull head was so good. I know it's impossible to translate Smith's angular, fluid style to live action, but there's just something about his Ghost Rider design that I love. It's wilder, more chaotic, which fits well with where he gets his

The Alamo is one of those vaunted stories of American history that makes me super conflicted in a weirdly personal way - being a Tejano born on the border, and currently living in San Antonio. Hell, growing up, we were never even given much nuance for the whole affair. I was in high school before I learned that there

Barb's gone, bro. She gone.

I would love for it to be something like Johnny teaching Danny as they road trip across the country, or an anthology series featuring different Ghost Riders exacting vengeance.

Honestly, the Ghost Rider SHOULD be too powerful. He's on a whole new plain of existence than any other character on the show, and I hope he stays there. Like, he should be the kind of character that the Avengers have trouble with and only magic users like Doctor Strange can handle. Why? Because force of nature

Speaking of, didn't Mace mention last week something about protecting the US? Which, yes, SHIELD protects all countries, but it felt more like Mace may be hyper-focused on US interests.

I want that, too. Not everything can be controlled or contained by humans, especially not a Spirit of Vengeance, and SHIELD should have to live with that.

It may be how he gets rid of Eli. Actually, calling it now. Penance Stare - though a Danny thing? - is how they defeat Eli.

Disagree. The tattoo is so rad and so silly that I'm so glad it existed. The only downside? No kitschy glasses like Roulette had in JLU or the comics.

I prefer John Oliver's segment styles to hers because he tends to focus more on the many issues facing marginalized groups than she does. It may just be by virtue of being on longer, but it feels like Oliver's done most of Bee's segments months ago. But they're different enough as hosts to be a decent back-to-back of

Yeah, Gina was great, and I appreciated her going for it. She did a lot better than other actors could've, and it's powerful to have a show wanting to have extended Spanish dialogue. But you can also tell she was sometimes sounding things out. She had a "rounded out edges" kind of accent, especially if she's supposed

It had to be a conscious choice not to use any clips or excerpts from those public meetings, right? The writers room had to be like, "someone'll get it."

The homeless magician look was working for him.

Tom Ellis was on point this episode. His hurt and guilt were palpable. It's good stuff. I'm interested to see what happens with Dr. Linda now that she knows. Is that really Lucifer's face, though? Why is it demonic or flayed? Do all angels sort of look like that, or just Lucifer since he's fallen?

"The Entire History of You" is a beautifully rendered and horrifying hour of television. It stayed with me for a long time.

oh my god it's Cyborg
