I used to sometimes (not so much these days) post on political and religious blogs under my real name, and I sometimes wondered if that could potentially hurt my chances to get on Jeopardy! - do they Google everyone and try to weed out those who believe anything controversial? (Not that I really do believe anything…

I was joking about being the only male watcher (and I noticed your name was Dan after I posted), but as I said, even a rounded-off 0 is not very promising.

I watched it and found it interesting enough that I might watch next week also. I didn't realize I might be the only man in America watching! (I know that 0 must be rounded off, but wow.)

Different genres have different expectations, though. Audiences will forgive a gangster or a meth dealer (or even a womanizer - double standards play a role also) more easily than the perceived other woman in a love triangle.

It is so rare to find someone who actually does read the clues well! Alex is too honest to claim that Sandra Day O'Connor could put him out of a job.

A cult classic that it is not really that good is probably the worst kind of movie to remake. Chances are high that the bad aspects will be magnified and the good aspects will be lost.

Louise seems to (usually) want to be left alone rather than to actively bother other people. (And she wants to have money - that seems to be the major area where she will take advantage of other people unprovoked.) The Grabber in this episode was funny but not really in character.

Does this mean Dolores Hart will lose her vote? That would be too bad. (Or maybe that documentary about her will counted as a movie.)

Arizona smells funny.

I figured out "trolley" but never knew that it was originally the name for the connector through which the current flows. I wonder if that extra fact confused the contestants and sabotaged an otherwise obvious response.

IIRC the statements about creating an English mythology date from the 1920s - at an early stage the plan actually was to have places from The Silmarillion (if it was even called that yet?) evolve into modern-day English locations. These early ambitions may not have much to do with the finished LOTR.

I think the overall thrust of her development has actually been more in the opposite direction. I think she has much more of a conscience now than she did in the first season. Any show that is both episodic and written by multiple people is bound to have zigs and zags in characterization, though.

Arthur (if real) was Romano-British (i.e., ancestor of the Welsh), and most of the better-known stories about him and his knights were made up by the French. This was inadequate for Tolkien.

I think maybe this poorly-written headline means to say "These outlandish books are actually based on historical events," not "Here is an outlandish theory that these books are actually based on historical events." Maybe.

I think, though, that Landis has become the scapegoat for what was really a collective shame. Someone on the Connie Mack Wikipedia page, for example, tried to claim that Mack failed to integrate the Athletics because he feared Landis. I suspect that there is pretty much no evidence of that.

Ugh, really?

Mr. Frond's actual duties are pretty vaguely defined. He seems to fill the role of a school psychologist and/or an assistant principal as much as that of a guidance counselor.

The Job with Dennis Leary? (Although apparently that was ABC.)

She stole every scene she was in (now-forgotten?) The Good Girl. I stayed for the credits just to find out her name!

I was surprised to see that the premature version was in fact taken down at some point. I predict that against all reasonable expectation, it will be re-posted no earlier than midnight.
