"I tried to get reservations at the best restaurant in the city for our date, but I couldn't get us in. It's okay, I got us a table at my backup restaurant. I'm sure it's just as good!"

This definitely feels like one of those situations where I totally agree she should face some (minor) backlash for this right up until assholes start trying to use her comments as evidence of reverse racism and proof that whites are the most oppressed race, etc etc, and then I'll wish I'd never said anything in the…

He would be more convincing as a literal seal than a Navy SEAL.

It's officially listed as a "dramedy," so maybe this is just the sitcom trailer, and the actual show has more depth. I'd actually be on board for this show if it turns out to have characters I can care about, instead of just walking punchline deliverers, engaging in lightly dramatic scenarios and not just set-ups for…

I'll admit that I'm one of those theoretical Orville viewers. Watching the trailer, I was like "eh, it's not Star Trek but maybe if I squint a little…?"

Last season (or maybe the one before) he did an entire Update with a huge piece of lint in his hair. I'm beginning to wonder if there isn't some weird animosity between him and the makeup crew.

3) shows up pretty prominently in the season poster: http://toptvseries.biz/wp-c…

Also, Ellie didn't exactly look like a corpse in a suit at the end, either. She seemed at least half-alive.

Oh, also: I'm sure there was a good reason why a robot like Nardole would need a spacesuit in the first place—and I'm sure a bunch of people are going to reply and tell me—but the episode could have at least mentioned it in passing.

I thought this was a solid episode, but one thing bugged me: the episode took pains to deprive The Doctor of the TARDIS, the sonic screwdriver, and his eyesight, but the conclusion never felt like he was triumphing over those losses. Instead of using the sonic to wire the suits to the reactor, he just used a keyboard.…

Folks were weirdly pissed that Bill's friends all lived last week, so I guess I'm glad that didn't happen this week…

That headline is like the last teletype update at the end of All The PWR BTTM's Men.

And, because there are few things as important as historical accuracy in rap songs…

I still can't get over Sookie from Gilmore Girls being one of the biggest stars in Hollywood and the second highest paid actress in the world.

I feel like Broadway is a neverending series of these, especially with people who only have a passing familiarity with the alternate universe these shows inhabit and assume they're just normal plays: "THAT'S what Cats is about!?" etc.

Heroes is a great example.

Last night I asked about pop culture you surprisingly don't know a lot about. Tonight's question is related: What piece of pop culture, once you were finally exposed to it, made you say "Wait, THIS is what it's about!?"

Sleepy Hollow is a great example of a pop culture phenomenon people could NOT stop talking about…until seemingly overnight everyone just dropped it: Sleepy Hollow, Glee, Welcome To Night Vale, The 100.

I asked Jerry Taylor, the president of the Niskanen Center, a libertarian think tank, if he had ever seen so much skepticism so early in a Presidency. “No, nobody has,” he said. “But we’ve never lived in a Third World banana republic. I don’t mean that gratuitously. I mean the reality is he is governing as if he is…

Keegan-Michael Key is in this, too? Does the dude sleep!?
