I thought of two more examples before I read the list that didn't make it. The first would be Robotech/Superdimensional Fortress Macross, where we have Minmei (English dub), a pop singer who's song is frequently piped into the invading aliens' speakers as a weapon to mess with them, since they don't have music on…

Just wait for the American remake!

This is my favorite episode of the show, really, though I'll concede that 'Out of Gas' is the better one when you get down to it. The one-two punch of those two episodes was what convinced me to purchase the DVD back in 2003. I loved that the show took Simon, a character who's difficult to like a lot of the time, and…

You're not the only one, but that's what makes that great scene with Sheridan in 'Interludes and Examinations' all the more satisfying…

So one of these idiots has the bright idea that they should all go out and bring in some vile super-villain on the SHIELD watchlist to win some brownie points with Fury. Already they deserve to be pulled from hero duty so they can sweep floors and clean the toilets for a couple weeks. But then they double down: they…

I was surprised to see the rat-in-a-bucket torture on this show, mainly because I'd seen it before in '2 Fast 2 Furious' of all places. 

I still don't get where all the money's going. The Underworld movies had pretty good werewolves. And all three of them still cost half as much as Lone Ranger's new reduced price tag. Cheaper movies have been made that still had location shooting, horses, and all that other good stuff. Even something like Hidalgo cost…

The scene that was the most unintentionally laugh-out-loud for me was Janie confessing her backstory to Maureen. From last week's twist I just figured that Janie's husband was some kind of abusive thug that she managed to run away from, which would have been fine (if not terribly innovative). But apparently the…

As often happens with TV, since the second episode is shot well after the pilot, some things look a little different. The thing that kept distracting me this episode was that nearly all of the girls' hair has changed to lighter colors since the pilot (except for Collette). Maggie went from jet black to dark brown,…
