G: I don't think I missed it anywhere in the first episode's info dump, no. I'm rather sure they don't use the term "Angelics" at all in the first episode (Paul: What about you, what are you then, are you a … Ghost-Buster? Neil: Yeah, kid, I'm a Ghost-Buster) so the first time we hear the term "Angelics" is in the

G: I rated this more highly because of it left us in a place where they might be making Eddie into a new Grimm, now that he actually been initiated into the secret of the trailer (and apparently there's really not much else to being a Grimm)… Frankly, developing the Grimm perspective from the supernatural side sounds

Tote VanDerBag, the Onion of Swag?

G: SPoilllerss? That's my memory too. What amuses me to no end is how uninterested the other characters are in all the "IS Emily still alive?" machinations — for a lot of people who claimed to have liked Emily, no one ever seems too interested, they all have their own dramas going on (or in the case of Dixon just

T: So yeah…
G: Well…That was not entirely awful
T: Not exactly good, but the best episode of Terra Nova I ever saw
G: So like a B?
T: I guess, even if an episode is only rated against the continuum of its show, then while this one probably wrecked the curve … I just can't stomach giving this show any kind of A.
G: Nor did

T: Whenever you notice something like that, [something that doesn't make sense] the house did it.
T: That house is a freaking wizard, man.

"We got the longer version of the opening credits tonight, which is fine, but it’s not my favorite theme song. RIP Terriers."  T: That's the tip of the hat to the Tao of Steve title reference right? Donal Logue, where is he now?

G: Dorkador!
T: …no,
T: You're a dorkador

G: Pretty sure that was Tyler's twin… So yeah, coincidence.
T: Weren't you suggesting before that he was dining with Andrew's twin?
G: … Oh. Hmm. I forget … It's all kind of a haze now.
T: That's ok, they all look the same to me too.
G: So many fucking twins on this show!
T: You know, you don't have to drink every time you

G: I'm not certainly going to watch the episode, I'm only here for the Fisticuffs, but I was just wondering how effective can the ghost of something that died in the womb be? And does that mean the Gifted Man's spectral universe is waist deep with millennia upon millennia of ectoplasmic squishy prebirths piteously

T: Detective Carter — if that is her name — plays the important counterpoint that illustrates the show's premise
G: To wit, she is the embodiment of the governmental bureaucracy that keeps the police department spending resources spinning its wheels instead of going after the actual crime like our privatized crime

G: River Song learned how to pilot the TARDIS from the best
T: Which with her self-confidence, likely will mean from herself!
G: Per a cross in the future-past, when the Doctor was busy … that day.
T: Is it still masturbation when you throw time-travel into it?

G: Do not begrudge our reviewer a palate cleanser. Let him have something to look forward to.
T: Would you eat desert first?
G: No one should head to sleep with FlashForward still puttering around in their head.
T: Think of the dreams, the terrible, awful, wonderful dreams.
