And by that metric, Heroes because it was finally over.

I will NEVER ever forgive the last season of that show for sucking so hard, but the finale was ruined for me by the "Captain Picard?" "Yes?" "Yes?" moment. It was so stupid and contrived and NO that's not how it would go. She wouldn't have kept the name of a famous other captain post-divorce when she became a captain!

That was just a great series, too. Best of the new Treks by far. But, yes, that bittersweet, hopeful ending was perfect.

I am such a fan of Black Canary (and by association GA, too) but I can't read the character in New 52 because it isn't the same character at all. At. All. With Dinah, it's as big a chance as if they'd said, "Hey, it's Bruce Wayne and he's Batman but he went to college and has a really together personal life — oh, and

I've compared (elsewhere — no idea where) the show's apparent approach to how anime treats Western religion. It usually seems to have involved a blender and the crazy that comes out the other end is generally a lot of fun.

Hooray! I love this show and am a bit sad that I love it far more than SHIELD so far (but Whedon gets a several episode ramp-up before I despair plus also COULSOOOOON!!!).

If they include my favorite bit with the Dwarf at the Parliament of Owls mishearing Eustace's name, I will go see this movie: "The boy says he's useless!" (para)

I get the sense that Abby and Ichabod are the last pieces falling into place in what the local Powers That Be already know is a seriously weird town. There may even be those (including Irving as there was a bit of mysterious side-eye from him in the pilot) who are on the side of the Horsemen and are using the pair to

@Rocketpilot:disqus  To paraphrase Mindy Kaling, Fandom's The Worst isn't a title; it's a tier!

So what you're saying is you haven't seen Broadchurch or Fright Night.

In all seriousness, David Tennant would be really good in this role.

In short, Sherlock fandom is The Worst.

I think it's mostly the fact that they literally NEVER gave him even three seconds of reflection or reaction to having the Grimm thrust upon him. You have no idea if he's mad about it or happy about it or if it's a burden or if he's mad that no one told him until it was too late or anything — because they never ever

The character who leapt to mind for me when this topic came up was Joel Fleischman from Northern Exposure. He was by far the least quirky and by that measure, the least interesting, but what I found interesting back when the show aired was how important his character was to the show regardless of whether he himself

I disagree about Meredith. To this day, I watch the show for Meredith and Christina, so when Sandra Oh leaves, I'm probably giving up on Grey's at last. I've found Meredith's story, especially her friendship with Christina, to be one of the more consistently interesting and grounding elements of the show. Having a

Except for the fact that Andy Travis says a line from the song in either the pilot or the flashback to his first day at the station in a later episode (or both). The pilot clearly sets Andy up as the wandering radio guy "tired of packing and unpacking" who finds home at WKRP.

Toys in summary: War bad! Toys good!

Right, but this series is going to be set before that while Gordon isn't in charge and everything is awful and corrupt. Plus no Batman. So either they make everyone competent which flies in the face of firmly established Bat-history OR Gordon is just going to be the miserable, always-thwarted One Good Cop for however

Well, no one's been clamoring for an Ant Man movie, either, but we're getting that anyway.

Anime does this all the time, too — just smashes up Biblical prophecies into a big ball of crazy (most of which are complete acid trips anyway) and has all kinds of insane genre fun with them. I'm hopeful this show takes that less cowed view of things. And that we get a really gorgeous, mysterious teenaged guy with
