The thing I'll always associate David Wayne with is Inspector Richard Queen on "Ellery Queen."  The show first aired when I was too young to understand it, but I loved watching when a cable network (A&E?) reran it in the eighties.  Wayne had the crusty NYPD lifer bit down.
 
It's been a while since I've seen "Escape…

The tendency on Fringe seems to be to keep Nina mostly offstage for the first half of the season, then give her more stuff to do in the final episodes.  We'll see if that pattern holds.

It is important to keep your Peter thing wrapped, if you don't want unplanned interdimensional pregnancies.

Or Happy Endings.  Casey Wilson sweaterpuppies represent!

There seem to have been some reversals in the writing room since the end of last season.  Remember Jordan?  The hot blonde Will Ferrell hired before self-destructing?  I remember them saying she would be a regular character, and now she's nowhere to be found.  Not that she was funny at all, but it's strange she should…

Yeah, he basically said that.

John Goodman was wonderfully hammy when the Dean came by his office.  Is it just me, or was that scene shot just like a Coen Brothers movie?  I'm thinking somewhere between Hudsucker Proxy and Big Lebowski.

I think Lorre's history with difficult stars is affecting his judgment.  Especially Roseanne.  She got him fired, took over the show, and managed to make it more successful.  Now that he's had a very public war of words with Charlie Sheen, who basically got himself fired, Lorre wants to prove that he can make the show…

Oh, and from the hourlongs of Season 4 I'd pick "Jess Belle".

Holy shit!  I didn't think anyone else would pick that as their favorite.  I think it's the clown that makes it for me.  He's antic and creepy as clowns tend to be, but he's as much a victim as anyone else.
 
Charles Beaumont's Shadow Play is a classic too.

Having seen the link, I have to point out that Hook makes clear he's being facetious in the SWEEP/SOOTY! comparisons.  Not that I don't think being left out has left him a tad sulky.  I would be.

Henriksen seemed happy enough about the stuff he was getting to do in Season 2 while he was filming it, or at least seemed more engaged than he usually was later.  I hope he's just sucking up to Carter to get rights for a Frank Black movie.
 
Emma Hollis is an okay character.  The real ruiner is his FBI boss.  Who had…

Yeah, there could have been a good conclusion to Morgan and Wong's "OMG, the world is ending!" cliffhanger, but simply saying "Oh wait, no it's not" wasn't it.

Actually, the reason Lara Means couldn't stay had less to do with Carter's hostility toward S2 and more to do with her being married to Glen Morgan, who took his and Wong's firing very personally and has run down Carter every chance he's gotten.  Which is justified to some extent because they did deserve to be brought…

Williams also did a nice guest-starring job on a short-lived, mostly forgettable 90s med drama called "LA Doctors."  Maybe knowing he's on a small screen helps him take it down a notch.

What Nathan Ford's Evil Twin said. Romana is the first Time Lady to be so named and the first after we see life on Gallifrey in "The Deadly Assassin".

At first blush it seems weird that Toby could get the Aging Stripper to kill herself by breaking up with her and calling her a fat cow. After all, she's still hot, as witnessed by the fact that she can make a living by taking off her clothes. He looks like a beanbag chair with a few strands of hair sticking to it.

Fry: I really am important? So the way I feel when I'm drunk is correct?
Nibbler: Yes. Except the Dave Matthews Band does not rock.

All of the FF's album's have songs that I find just plain fun to listen to. Well, maybe except "Rehearsing My Choir". "Rehearsing" is a wrong step, but I can respect what they were trying to do with it.

Afterschool
Antonio Campos' "Afterschool" is a film that strikes me in this way. On the one hand, the protagonist is a lethally narcissistic prep school brat blessed with androgynous good looks yet cursed with a personality deficit. At the end I wondered why I should have spent two hours with the kid.
