Every time I read Milo Ventimiglia, my brain processes Wilmer Valderrama, so I have no idea who this guy is.  I guess that's a good thing.

No, it's just that LA was a dame in the videogame.  This LA has balls.

Uh, well that was snark, but rhetorically realistically speaking, I have a feeling Swift will be a character gone before Frank ever is, and Frank ain't so bad a character now (though I credit that mostly to the acting), so the easiest thing to do is somehow pair Leo with Swift, if this indeed were a thing that was…

More likely to be Leo.

Oh good, I was right!

The writing may be absolutely godawful at times, but I think the casting was done very intentionally.

I was going to say that, but I'm pretty sure I've made a "24" analogue in a previous review.

This gets all the more amusing if you imagine increasingly weird and off-kilter camera shots of said bird-flipping.

I just watched an old TED talk with Charles Fleischer over the weekend, and now I cannot read/hear the phrase "about love" and not hear his inflection in my head, which makes the opening sentence all the more amusing.

Flash Forward, bitches.

Carson Daly vs. Nick Lachey.

I choose to read this as those ladyshades somehow being a direct quote of Ryan Murphy.

Slim Shady?  Okay, I'll give you that one.

I don't think we've learned yet what he did, but if I had to hazard a guess, he watched The Killing and gave an honest opinion on it.

Cheat codes?

Except that part I liked.  Because every way I extrapolate the outcome could go, I wind up laughing.

Yeah, in the span of < 3 weeks, Midge was suicidal, then detached and cheating on her husband (if I understand correctly from the episode I missed)?  That's the first thing I think about whenever I see that "24" on downers text on the screen.

I saw beat-up-in-his-youth-Colin-Hanks.

It's a shame, because there are a lot of kids who have either/or these days.

Can you cite case studies?  I honestly don't remember Stewart ever speaking "sexistly" about any women, though that's not something I'd put past Maher.  (I really can't stand Maher myself.)
