I find Disney's lack of faith disturbing.




Seriously, like other commenters, I was expecting this to be more like Saving Private Ryan than Star Wars, so now I fear that the "levity" and "fun" included in reshoots will only *contribute* to tonal issues, not solve them.

Wouldn't "prologue" be a better name for it, then?

Ah yes, those halcyon days in which Ja, indeed, did Rule.

That's partially what I like about the idea. Initiate Protocol "Poor Stan" as a replacement for Protocol "Poor Martha."

What a fantastic bit of work by Holly Taylor in those last couple of scenes. Watch the way her hands fidget inside her badass Members Only jacket. She's learning from some pretty amazing actors, and has raised her own level each episode this season.

Prediction: Stan starts to suspect Tim & Alice are the Directorate S operatives he thought he saw in season 1. He starts to work Philip as an asset to get close to them. Eee!

I'm 100% with you on Arkady. We need to see more of him this season (probably as the Oleg/Tatiana plot heats up, I suspect that will happen). He's far and away my favorite character.

Vel-vet Gold-mine! ::clap-clap, clap-clap-clap::

X-Men: Ivan Ooze's Revenge

The term "fine" kept popping into my head as well while I watched this, and I was willing to not hold it against the episode. But then Dennis, you mentioned something about a tornado subplot/resolution…and for the life of me, I honestly did not remember that happening. I watched this episode 2 hours ago. Does that say

Nice of Christine Baranski to already be wearing the new Starfleet communicator badge.

Woof, what a nightmare. According to an EW interview, the show runners shot that final scene as insurance for if the show got canceled. But if they went to that trouble, why didn't they shoot something within the tone of the episode?

…like with someone discovering them wounded and rushing them to a

The editing was awful, though—the last 5 minutes swept by, with sort of breezy goodbyes to the other characters, and we got no indication that they were ever getting up from their gunshot wounds. It simply switched to voiceovers from their characters in Season 1, followed by SEVEN YEARS LATER, and them with a bunch of

To be fair, she is a super girl, not yet a super woman.

I think she should take more comedy roles; I've been sitting on a "Margot, Kidder" joke for months.

El Dan probably stole the digital rights to that image.

Hope she's interested in having a layover on a golf course.

I enjoyed the film on its own terms, but I think its biggest misstep or oversight was its focus on cultural appropriation and individualized racisms, instead of systemic or institutional racism. I hope this isn't a spoiler to anyone, but the obnoxious white antagonist gets a monologue (about how hard it is to be a

What if he's just like, a guy clapping two coconuts together?

My seats were wicked cheap—$30/seat, but they were pretty far back. Floor seats were $50ish, but my fiancée is less of a Bruce fan than me, and is too short to really enjoy that experience. I'm sorry to hear about the prices though; $300 is well over the most expensive tickets I found for my show.
