When Ed, his wife, and his daughter are in the tent together, Ed says to his daughter "Why don't you stay behind and keep your daddy company?", in a very insinuating manner. His wife gives him a look of approbation and yanks her away, saying "She wants to be with everybody else." Maybe I read too much into that, but…

Forgot to mention:
- I jumped all over IronE Singleton for his Ham Scraps Acting School performance in episode 2, but he's really toned it down since then. Good for him.

There are indeed nine volumes of Adele Blanc-Sec. Whether or not Fantagraphics will publish them all probably depends on how they sell; I'd love for them to do them all if only because I haven't read the latest one (it hadn't been published yet the last time I was in France).

Dead Man, she's definitely from the Animated Series. She first appeared in the Rashomon-esque 7th episode, "P.O.V.". It wasn't too long after that she appeared in the comics — just a few months, I think — but she originated on the TV show and definitely wasn't from the '80s.

New Frontier isn't part of the DC Animated Universe. Which isn't a judgment on its quality, just that it's outside the scope of this article.

Well, it wasn't my idea to call it the Diniverse, but even so, he was pretty involved. He wrote or co-wrote 29 episodes of Batman:TAS , 3 of the Batman movies, 13 episodes of Superman:TAS, 6 episodes of Batman Beyond, 3 of Justice League, and even a couple of Static Shock. That's more than anyone else, even Alan…

Confusingly, it depended on which market you were in. (This is one of about a million confusing things about the DCAU.) Some markets gave the show a half-hour slot and it alternated between Batman and Superman; others gave it an hour, and you'd get a Batman episode followed by a Superman episode.

Bill, you're not the only one — for an Inventory we did a while back, I mentioned that I thought the Justice League cartoons were better than Batman: TAS, and there were plenty of dissenting voices, including some who just flat-out didn't like JL/JLU at all.

Oh, sure, and I agree with you. But I think the book is at least partially directed at that part of the population that doesn't.

That's true — it's a multi-layered joke, though. The studio claims they hired him to deliver "that Barton Fink feeling", and when he finally does (giving them, essentially, a word-for-word rewrite of his play), Lipnick hates it. So they're portraying the writer as a self-deluding jerk, yes, but also portraying the…

As a great man once said, never rub another man's rhubarb.

Folks, I'm gonna ask one more time: please refrain from posting spoilers from the comic, especially ones dealing with character deaths. We don't have time to police them, and I appreciate that you've used spoiler-alert warnings, but as I said before, there's a million other places online you can talk about the…

Sepinwall reports that the producers wanted to have it be just Glenn and Rick in the city expedition, but since they only had six initial episodes and didn't know if they'd get renewed, they thought it would be waiting too long to have the other characters not get introduced until the 4th or 5th episode. So there's…

To…to avoid being eaten by zombies?

Sigh.

I'm hot and cold on the Walk Hard soundtrack, but "Farmer Glickstein" blows me away every time I hear it. It's such a goofy yet completely accurate evocation of that era of Dylan that it's funny and impressive at the same time.

Nathan has rated the episodes he's reviewed this season with an A-, a A-, a C, a B+, and an A-. Irrational hatred indeed!

Well, MickeyMickey, I'm sorry you don't like whatever it is you think I'm doing in the five or six "30 Rock" reviews I've ever written, but I do strongly encourage drinking while reading anything I write. In fact, I strongly encourage drinking, period.

Bitch Hunter, that's nonsense. As I've said repeatedly, my beef isn't about the accent, or the accuracy of the accent. It's that when someone delivers an accent that's so pronounced and noticeable, and there's no plot reason to do so, it's distracting — it gets to the point that all you hear is the accent. It…

So you're saying that it's clear enough from my writing how smart and nuanced I am, and that there's no need for me to go the extra mile and actually point it out? Gotcha.
