Yeah, I liked that too.

Well, the Spender you're thinking of is dead, and Scully has referred to this gentleman by his name before, so… To be honest, it gets frustrating having to use a characters name over and over again, which is why I sometimes switch from Mulder to Fox, or Scully to Dana. Getting a character with a whole bunch of names…

The alt text is one of my least favorite bits—unless I immediately have an idea, it's a lot of staring at a picture and trying to figure out the least unfunny I can think of in that moment. (The only thing worse is the tagline/Twitter text.)

Times when I should have listened to that little voice in my head and not posted a nitpick of something I didn't really know enough about, part 5,000 in a series.

I was too busy having Blade Runner flashbacks.

Well, if it helps, I complain like fuck about James Bond movies.

I get what you're saying, but I'm not over-reacting. It's not like I was hissing "WHORE! AVERT THY LUST-RIDDEN GAZE FROM YON WENCH!" every time she batted an eye. I just thought they overplayed their hand a bit. Supernatural does that from time to time.

I was thinking about that while I watched the episode. I'm not sure if I'm just overreacting to seeing roles reversed (ish), but I'm pretty sure if I saw a dude as relentlessly fixated on getting laid as Charlie was, I'd be just as irritated by it. It just seemed very staged; Day has enough charm to mostly sell it,…

Yuuuuuuuuuuup.

The Poe stuff was BSing. At the very least, Poe actually had a fucking sense of humor about his work.

Whoa. That's fascinating.

Great, all I need is a time machine and then I can sue them.

Oh damn, it's been a while since I've seen Game Of Thrones, and I didn't make the connection. (For what it's worth, Flynn is fine here, but nowhere near as fun as he as on GoT, largely because of the differences in roles.)

Most of CBS's crime shows are super competent and watchable, and I love Elementary and Person Of Interest.

NOOOOOOOOOO.

Ah. Yeah, that's fine.

Actually, I liked season 4 a lot. It was weird and messy and didn't completely work, but I think they did a better job of marrying the high concept to the weekly format then they did here. (I also think "jump the shark" is a silly, knee-jerk concept; incredibly tempting to use, but it implies a kind of…

Ohhh, good catch. Completely forgot about that!

How so?

I thought this was lousy, and I'm really surprised at all the praise it's getting. It makes me sad that I can't be as enthusiastic. To me, these last two episodes were a lot of bad writing, leavened briefly by reminding us of the emotional connection we have with some of these characters, and a few fun shocks. But the…
