Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. There's one or two DCI/DCIAs with actual background in intelligence grunt work, the rest have been political appointees. Leon Panetta, for instance, had extensive experience in government, but no specific intelligence background before being named to the post.

Sadly no.

Coincidentally, I rewatched Romeo + Juliet last night, so the joke of having Carrie mention that play was especially funny to me.

They've already said that Mrs. Krabappel will be written out of the show.

To voice what is clearly a minority opinion here: I think it looks cute.

All right, we should all just admit: evil triumphs.

Oh, FOX, you were doing so well with giving Brooklyn Nine Nine a full season, and then you had to go and renew Dads.

Players sounds like a good premise for a show, but not something the CW could fully realize.

Captain America's primary story in Marvel Comics is being a man out of time in the present day, not fighting World War II. World War II is his backstory.

Captain America's physical strength ranges from "peak human athlete" to "low-level superhuman".

He becomes a bit more like that at the end, but Millar's Cap starts out as a jingoistic asshole who likes beating people up.

1. Iron Man
2. Avengers
3. Captain America
4. Thor
5. Iron Man 3
6. Incredible Hulk
7. Iron Man 2

"Do you think this A on my head stands for France?" and all that jingoism are all about Millar's views on the Bush Administration (the entire second volume is about how America's policy of pre-emptive strikes leads to supervillains backed by foreign governments "liberating" America).

YouTube is a good example of the weird place many internet-based services currently fine themselves in: on the one hand, it's hard to actually make money off it in its present form, but on the other hand its existence is virtually indispensable to current media culture. There are other online video hosts by now, but…

I don't agree there. Millar's Ultimate Captain America is first and foremost a parody of Bush-era neoconservatism, not really intended as reflective of the 40s (he studiously avoids giving him any 40s attitudes that would wear too poorly today, just as the 616 version does).

The episode's final scene reveals that Jessica has escaped to Saskatchewan and now works as a lumberjack. A terribly ineffective lumberjack.

Death follows that woman everywhere she goes.

Marvel Comics has been crashing helicarriers way before it was cool!

I predict that Robert Redford's character will be taking the role of General Lukin from the comics, up to and including the big surprise.

I still don't understand why that guy is a minotaur now. Kathy Bates' character doesn't have powers, so she didn't do it. Why would Angela Bassett turn him into an actual beast?
