Sarah and Chuck finally had chemistry together…
…for the first time in a long time. The way she looked at him back in Castle at the end, I could believe that she was looking at a guy she loved. So many times this season she seemed to regard him as a minor annoyance and I was thinking "We're supposed to believe she

The hacksaw blade
I'm glad that they made a passing effort to explain why Merle cut his hand off. I figured he would have to do that, and they covered it with (clumsy) dialogue as best they could.

I don't think that it's a lake, it looks like an abandoned rock quarry. I learned to scuba dive in one that had been stocked with fish so people could fish there. Nice little spot.

I have mixed feelings about the original theme. I thought it was great, but that it didn't belong on this show. It was slow, downbeat, and patriotic which would make it more suited for a military-based procedural than a fun old-style actioner about independant loose cannons. Having said that, if they were going to

Well, it will be interesting to see her opposite Daniel Craig as (yes, this is true) it came down to her and Eva Greene for the role of Vesper in Casino Royale. Given the quality of actors in that film the fact that she got so far in the casting process must mean *something*.

"set in a world ruled not by science but by magic"
Sounds meh to me. I'm guessing it will seem pretty boring once everyone's live it for real after the Palin/O'Donnell ticket gets elected in 2012.

"An early episode described the evil organization THRUSH as " rich and powerful men who manipulate world events to stay that way"… which sounds disturbingly believable."

I have no idea why, but I was surprised that Ford didn't have a beard when he turned around…

As a fan of the comics from the 70's and early 80's…
…this looks terrible to me. I do like Reynolds, but his take on Hal Jordan seems to be overgrown manchild/frat boy. I wonder if the character was written that way in the script as an attempt to replicate the RDJ/Tony Stark lovable scamp, or if it's more a matter of

@ Billy - yes, it was, but I'm still trying to figure out if it was a poor little schoolboy who said "We don't need no lessons".

"Alternative" is relative
I remember around this time that I was suffering from grunge overload, and the only thing you could hear on the radio stations where I lived was grunge, classic rock, or country (yes, it was sad). I got into a conversation with a very knowledgable clerk at an idependant record store and I

I couldn't understand why they used Arnold for the Bond films but then he redeemed himself with the score to Casino Royale. Best Bond soundtrack in many, many years. But then he was back to form with Quantum of Solace. For a series as successful as Bond is he really the best they can hire?

Ah, the FCC - always protecting children from having to hear the language they use on the playground every day…

Do they count pay-for-cable?
I'm assuming that they must…I wonder how long until the religious right tries to have FCC rules pertain to shows such as Mad Men and The Walking Dead. Can any Americans explain the way that channels that aren't basic cable are excluded? I'm assuming it's because a customer chooses to pay

So if this film is successful…
…what "holiday" will they tackle next? Will they actually use Xmas? Given how there was (surprisingly, to me anyway)virtually no talk of Valentine's Day being a blatant rip-off of Love, Actually I'm assuming they'll use Xmas now.

I've found that it's best not to doubt The Moff so while I was originally disappointed in Moriarty's reveal I'm willing to see where it goes next season. I am aware that a lot of my disappointment had to do with my *ideas* of Moriarty so that probably coloured my reaction. I do like the idea that he's a bit more of a

Oh, I forgot - the key conveniently falling down the little drainpipe. I assume it was meant as a "OMG what are the odds of *that*" tragic/comic moment but to me it just came off as amatuer. What I thought would have been better is that T-bag dropped the key and because it was so tiny they couldn't find it. Then you

The main thing that bothered me…
…was when Rick and the girl went down to the main floor of the department store to watch the doors, they stood out in full view of the zombies (sorry, *walkers*). That seemed like it might spur them on to even greater efforts to get into the store, which seemed like it wasn't a good

I can see the studio pitch for TH2 now
"We can't offer you points, but you can keep those cool custom-designed sunglasses we made for Bradley. Just don't tell him were you got them from; it's hilarious how he still calls us every couple of weeks asking if we found them."

You're missing the fact that all that lens flare is the clue that THE BORG ARE ALREADY AMONG US! THIS IS WHAT YOU DESERVE FOR LETTING THEM BUILD A "VICTORY CUBE" ON WOLF 354!!!
