Well he didn't bite his thumb at her, but he did bite his thumb.

There was a court case in CT awhile back that explored the extremely niche variant of Monopoly that went:

They should've killed her. I don't even know who would've cared, especially if they'd just tossed her body down into the slag pits.

So, this episode sure did make me think "uh… was I supposed to be playing the video game for this to all make sense [from a "story flow" perspective, to be clear]?"

Well, this episode certainly had a reach that far exceeded its grasp. I really don't understand the whole property tag thing. Are we, the audience, supposed to stretch our suspension of disbelief light years past its breaking point and accept that it actually means something significant? Because if so, wow. Just, wow.…

"Hey-lo Poooul. How was yoour daye? I was wourk-ing and shoup-ping."

The show's never known what to do with Maggie Lawson's character, and after about 2-3 seasons of Shawn, even with Juliet's threadbare development it couldn't explain why she would ever put up with his bullshit within the context of a serious romantic relationship. I wish Ms. Lawson all the best in a better role on a…

Everything Donnie says and does is played against the backdrop of that late-night phone call and burning session. If the writers wanted that to be a red herring, they seriously fucked up.

It was cute the first time, cloying the second. Now, if they'd fully committed to a "The End" fakeout end card… that would've been hot.

You weren't supposed to be a fan of it. It's ok for characters to be a little bit unlikable. Most people who conjure up their own version of Han Solo are deathly afraid of adding anything offensive or off-putting into the mix.

Seeing as how in real life massive criminal enterprises are already run from within American prisons… yeah, I don't think the Moriarty in Elementary's universe would have any trouble with it at all. Also, she'd probably make literally the best shanks ever. Works of art.

Yeah, she sounded a little roided out when she was playing American, if that makes any sense at all. It probably doesn't for such a slight frame, but, that's what I got. Maybe there's something there about Moriarty finding all of America "insipid" (which is itself surprising given how sociopath-friendly the upper…

This was the dumbest hour of television I've seen in awhile, and I watch some pretty dumb television on a weekly basis. The vortex of idiocy makes sense, after a fashion; it was the climax to a dumb storyline with a mess of a character as its ostensible center (Bonnie, of course) and an antagonist that became steadily…

It was a little strange to me that the clones aren't thinking long-term, big-picture here. So-the-fuck-what if she's known Donnie since high school? SHE'S BEEN A CLONE SINCE SHE WAS A SINGLE CELL.

Amy lost a lot of her charm as her tenure wore on. Rory, on the other hand, was just plain awesome. I think he walks away with the award for best new-who-era companion.

The fact that he hadn't was definitely a missed opportunity in the script.

They laid the groundwork for it just fine with the trials altering him at a fundamental level. He's essentially going on a gigantic peyote trip into the desert, and his proximity to Metatron could account for the particular ways in which he reacted to the peyote in this episode. It makes sense; he starts remembering st…

Crowley definitely mentioned that his services were extremely expensive. I can't imagine that payment would be anything other than souls, and there have been a few moments in earlier seasons where Cas, at least, seems to know how to use a human soul to perform some serious mojo.

Know how I know we're almost at the end of a season of Supernatural?.

It's certainly a problem, and unfortunately I think the only place it could plausibly lead is to a Batman-like refusal to kill henchmen; the show's staked out clearly that Oliver was already at his own personal vigilante worst, and while an intense emotional reaction (sweeps-related, no doubt) might cause him to…
