1) I thought Project T.A.H.I.T.I. was fairly clearly revealed as a resurrection program designed to be deployed if one of the Avengers was killed. Case pretty much closed there, unless you really need to hear the word "Kree" before you're satisfied. (Or have the initials spelled out.)

That's an odd arrangement, but I can see it. Even in digital, channel space is at a premium, so if you have a channel you don't anticipate high demand for, setting aside both an SD and an HD feed for it isn't smart management. (The company I work for does this with FXX — both FX and FXM have HD feeds, but FXX does…

Thanks Zack. For everything.

Introduction to Film is, in fact, the most powerfully emotional episode of the show. Not a single episode since then has come close to hitting me in the feels the way that one did.

I read it as Ward not being able to pull the trigger, but Garrett being ensconced elsewhere with the sniper rifle to make sure the dog died, because dammit, evil people just hate dogs.

It was quite considerate of Fox to air the episode of Cosmos that explained the ecological pressures on our evolution as primates (briefly, climate change caused most of the trees we used to live in to die out, forcing us to cope with crossing the open savannah and its many dangers) two days before Fargo gave us a pop…

From where I sit, that was a note-perfect parody of a Modern Family wrap-up, not an actual Modern Family wrap-up. MF plays its treacle straight to the camera, making it the voice of the show; Trophy Wife put it in the mouth of a small child lecturing an ostensible adult about his juvenile behavior. Critical…

Next you'll be telling me there isn't a birth certificate reading "Eerie Von", "John Christ", or "Chuck Biscuits" out there!

Is this column going to coexist with "Block & Tackle" or replace it when the NFL season starts?

I just think it's hilarious that anti-social loner Batman has a friend he has to defend to the rest of the League because he's even more of a freak than Batman is. "C'mon guys! You just don't know him like I do! He's cool!"

Was Allison's wardrobe-blouse red in the screener? On my television it was quite a lovely shade of purple.

I mean, Bull Shannon alone is evidence for…something.

Ah, drat, I'd forgotten about that. So close!

I particularly noticed a gorgeous wide shot of a forested mountain with three waterfalls pouring down in this episode. The location scouts (and/or CGI artists?) for this show kick ass.

Precious little? I think Ragnar says nothing in this episode, beyond an inarticulate scream of rage at the very end. Can anybody think of another show where the main character doesn't get a single line of dialogue in a season finale? While still being present and conscious? Vikings is still like nothing else on TV.

So, re: "I exist here."

What exactly is the accepted application of a 10 gallon container of pig's blood, anyway?

Cujo. I'd shoot Cujo.

Princess Diana: Why should I care?
Hermes: You mean, besides the whole direct-order-from-the-gods thing?

Selina being forced into the humiliating position of having to Veep for someone else would be a drastic solution, but I agree it's the most plausible. Second most plausible is even more drastic: Louis-Dreyfuss wins the election and leaves the show, and the rest of the cast go to work for a different Veep. (It would…
