Gorn's face in that scene was amazing. There was a moment where he's angry, then startled (because he knows he's not allowed to be angry at the Motherland in this way), and then the wheels start turning and he re-channels his anger at Nina, for blowing her chance. For betraying his trust…again.

Comrade! The recruiting is much easier with teenage boys!

Elizabeth doesn't really think that Stan would help them if he knew the truth. She just thinks—correctly, as this episode showed—that Philip being friends with Stan could yield valuable intel.

…and then William can reveal that he's secretly been a US Senator for the state of Utah since 1977…

"Too old to keep stripping" is a) not that old, and b) more of a mileage issue than a make issue.

What @dirtside:disqus said. In the modern days with all our contraception and small families and whatnot, a teenager's aunt being a frail senior citizen seems far-fetched. In the post-depression world Spider-Man's creators came from, a teen having to financially pitch in to support a much older guardian wasn't so

"Thank god, I thought they were going to ask you about that overdue book my friend Jerry took out for me in high school."

Back when it was typical for women to get married in their teens, it wasn't strange that they'd still be getting pregnant in their late 30s. My friend's from a throwback Irish family, the youngest of 8 kids. His eldest siblings were in high school when he was born.

Heck, little old cardiac case Aunt May had a pretty active dating life, considering her age and infirmity—wasn't she at various points engaged to marry Doc Ock and J. Jonah Jameson? She had to be doing something right…

I'm pretty sure May's his aunt by marriage, not blood. That's why Uncle Ben and Peter share a last name (he's Pete's dad's brother).

Yeah, as lies go, it's certainly a low-yield kind of thing.

Not to overly scrutinize things, but by your logic, the porn industry (and various Kardashian sisters) wouldn't exist. All anyone would ever need would be a single fully unclothed image of a particular person, and that would be enough.

Sony has the Ka-Zar rights, too?

Well, the real problem isn't so much whether DC and CW would allow for a protagonist to murder a child, it's that they've made it pretty clear that Rip is a weak and predictable character. Snart and Sara probably wouldn't have killed Preteen Hitler, but they're both characters who have surprised us before so there's

Being hated is a checkbox item for getting hired by FOX News. If the worldview they're espousing—there's no such thing as police brutality or anti-minority discrimination—is true, then a guy like Fuhrman MUST be a great American hero.

It prevents corrosion!

"My whole face was covered in blood?"

You should read Dominick Dunne going on about how handsome Fuhrman was in Vanity Fair, I had to wonder about the man's eyesight.

Technically, it's their highest-level trial courts. Other jurisdictions use the less confusing name by calling equivalent tribunals "Superior" courts.

He didn't argue that the DNA was wrong. He argued that there were questions about how the DNA got there (this is a big part of the reason I wish they'd dedicated more than 5-10 minutes of the show to Scheck's part of the defense). He pointed out inconsistencies in where there was blood and where there wasn't,
