It's a pretty easy case to make that Lois was far less a damsel in distress than virtually every other member of the human race, there.

Meh, I can see it. A lot of male actors are too pretty to take seriously in very physical roles.

It's often been observed that Superman really shouldn't be muscular at all. Super strength would mean that he very rarely really challenges his muscles at all, let alone the thirty-hours-a-week-in-the-gym physique that he always seems to have.

If you recall, a significant percentage of the internet got extremely upset because Daniel Craig is blond and therefore cannot play James Bond ever ever ever.

It's been mentioned above, but you're really describing Gina Carano here.

It's amazing that there's four "nominees" and Ellen Page still manages to appear twice.

I'm a big fan of the genre they coined: White Guy Karate. Its patron saint is John Saxon.

Black List/Almost Human crossover on the horizon.

In truth, there's more of a fetish for making fun of the "neckbeards" who wear them. It's like a hyper-specialized version of the backlash against hipsters.

World War Z (the novel) was pretty good in this regard.

I also skip The Weather.

I really like the HUaL guys. They're articulate and insightful.

I ran out of steam on Nerd Poker. I realized around episode 17 that I'd completely lost track of where they were and what they were doing, and what was worse I didn't care very much. Sad.

I enjoy the brothers a lot, but it must be admitted that they've had a generally off year punctuated by moments of brilliance. They're the first to say it, too.

That's certainly true. I always get a chuckle when one of the judges "says" something that is clearly three sentence fragments Frankensteined together. It's best when the end of the sentence began as the middle of another, so rather than a formed thought the speaker just suddenly stops.

Well, that's a good joke, but I can't agree with it. Brilliance tends to be remembered while flawed personalities don't.

That's horrifying. Plus, if you make me swear, also pretty entertaining.

4-Hour Erection sounds like a lesser member of Batman's rogues gallery.

Seconded, that would be fascinating. Chopped is one of the few reality shows I actually enjoy, just because they (seem to) play things relatively straight.

In the above photo he reminds me a bit of Caesar from The Hunger Games.
