Yeah, it's an amazing case of every road leading to Darden handing OJ those gloves. He thinks it's the right move, he has something to prove to Clark, he's goaded into it by Bailey, tricked into it by Cochran…it's almost too much, but it's compelling TV.

Yeah, wish someone would've gotten her drunk and given her shot glasses during closing arguments.

Yeah, I'm not sure how much of Kidder's performance is a lack of glamor, or just the fact that it was the 70s, where even the glamorous women were kinda earthy.

He doesn't have to like it, he just has to get paid for it.

Can we really credit Moore for this? I know this is post-Watchmen, but I somehow think this was before the mainstream DCU got rape-happy, which I always associate with the mid-to-late 90s on. I always had the feeling that Moore took it as far in the rape direction as the company would let him go.

Maybe they've finally realized that animated success and big-screen success are mutually exclusive, and so have decided to tank animation? I saw the Flashpoint movie on Netflix last night, started playing it, and got interrupted a couple of minutes in. What little I saw wasn't bad, but the animation seems to have

This only works if it's actually a really backdoor way to bring back Farscape.

I'm with you on this, but a few things to note:

The Flash consistently looks like it's working with a big effects budget. People may quibble about King Shark and Grodd, but I thought those effects looked damn good—the place where the show demonstrated its limitations is that we only got limited looks at them.

Actually, there was a lot of collateral damage from them separating in the first Flash/Firestorm story arc, but the flux capacitor thingie that Jax wears on his uniform (and, I suppose, under his clothes at all times) is supposed to keep their transformation from blowing things up.

Too soon! Plus, then we get into Firefly, then people start wondering where Wallace is at, and then people start complaining about Idris Elba not being James Bond.

Life clocks are a lie! Carousel is a lie! THERE IS NO RENEWAL!

I think we're about five seasons past "conquered death." It's now in the sad part of the Green Mile where Tom Hanks looks at the mouse and contemplates how many more loved ones he's going to have to bury before it's all mercifully over.

Wow, he only just got into their target demo? That man's a forward-looking visionary!

Her own voice, and I have a sneaking suspicion that Hitler outfit is something out of her own closet. I can imagine her showing up in costume, and Conan's staff saying "You know Sarah, we love this concept, but could you maybe leave the strap-on in the green room? I mean, it is removable from the rest of the outfit,

It's an outrage that they didn't cast an Asian as Hitler. Look, right now the Hitler story is a Mighty Whitey trope: guy goes to jail, organizes political party, and leads a sustained campaign of world conquest and genocide. But simply change the setting from 1930s Germany to modern-day Manila, and instead of

…and, like the Third Reich, he's gonna make them pay for it!

Mike Trout…but with a neck! And boobs.

Literally!

One whip pan would've been more effective than the five or six we got. It's a technique that has diminishing returns. It's just strange that a show that generally has very assured directing (that moment of Clark preparing to do her power strut into the courtroom was gorgeous) suddenly acts desperate and Zack Snyder-y
