I know most fans hate it, but I dug "Badlaa" a lot. In fact, the first Doggett season was like a second wind for the show, bringing it back to the serious, often horror-ish episodes, after the previous seasons more lighthearted, comedic feel.

In the reviews of the original X-Files, one of the writers (I forget which) points out how much of television since X-Files has been very indebted to it. It's not just obvious ones like Fringe, Grimm, or Supernatural, but even shows like CSI, Criminal Minds and other procedurals.

If Jeffrey Combs has ever anything less than awesome, I haven't seen it (and don't want to).

Wow, how crazy that I happen to read this comment just as I've been getting into Hill Street Blues reruns!

Tyler Labine was in two of the original Darin Morgan episodes as well, in the role.

You should!

I always give loads of credit to performers who go on with the show right after learning of a parent's death. Weird Al Yankovic did something similar, going on with a show right after learning that one of his parents (maybe both?) had died.

Oh crap, I remember when Pam Grier was on the show, but I didn't realize that's the character she played. Then again, that was before I had watched Justice League Unlimited, which is where I first became familiar with the character, so even if I had known her name at that time, it would have meant nothing to me.

You're so right about that. I have a copy of Mein Kampf (I'm fascinated by Nazi Germany) and I've tried to get through it on more than one occasion, and holy shit it's a slog. The guy was a good public speaker, but Hitler couldn't write for shit.

At this point, the number of people who know the Flash's real name is larger than the number who don't!

But he's told so many other people! He tells practically everyone, except the woman he's involved with? Lame! I thought he learned his lesson with Iris last season.

Smallville Waller? She was on Smallville? How did I miss that? I watched pretty much every episode of that show (despite my mixed feelings).

It's weird, because they've called their hideout the "ArrowCave" but that name doesn't make sense in a world that doesn't know about the Batcave. Same goes for references to Superman on The Flash, like when they used the phrase "Man of Steel" in one episode, or said that Barry was "faster than a speeding bullet" in…

You were not the only one! I love goth chicks, and I love goth Felicity!

But they're doing different versions of the same character in different media: the Flash! There's the tv version, and they've already cast a different actor for the movie version.

I don't understand why characters like Deadshot and Amanda Waller have to be off limits for the DC TV Universe? So they want to use the characters in the movies, so what? They're making the Flash a part of the cinematic DC universe (they announced the actor right after the tv show debuted, in a dick move), and I doubt…

I was thinking of Supernatural season 7 when they got to that 'conspiracy made us fat" part!

You never know, by the end of the six-episode run, they the Lone Gunmen may have been brought back somehow!

Yeah, I was hearing good things about it even before Bowie died.

I saw your post.
