"Pete’s marriage to Jackie was a fluke"
The more I think about how living with Diane would be for a regular person whose heart doesn't run on anti-freeze, the more Jackie makes sense. It would be like going to a concert after being in a sensory deprivation tank. Only later would you realise it was unnecessarily loud

He was "berwinking." It's going to be a thing.

"Pure nobility just isn’t very dramatic, which is perhaps why no one has ever made a major motion picture about Mother Teresa. "

If you're not an American, why would you give a shit how another country celebrates it's own self perceived awesomeness? I'm English, but I don't care that the French celebrate Bastille Day, or the Germans enjoy whatever barbaric teutonic fest they are into, but it probably involves beer and saukraut . Why would I?
A

But… the "corney vaudville affectations" are all Arcade has. Without that, he's a void. He's a bad Joker knock-off of which whatever hack created him should be deeply ashamed.
What this show needs is an interesting villain. Maybe an Asgardian, like the Enchantress and/or the Executioner, evolving some kind of

The thing is, I think they'd have to refit McSquarejaw's character , or even, y'know, give him a character, which may not be possible (they seem to have so much trouble with the rest of the cast). And even if they can write the solution, I'm not sure ol' Blandly has the chops to carry it off with conviction. On the

I thought that was a deliberate choice on Urban's part ; he's a human, but he's in some ways more closed off than his android partner. The "stiffness" is a reflection of that.

That would seem problematic on the face of it.

As soon as Holt talked about his mother, I flashed on an image of CC Pounder- Mrs. Frederic from Warehouse 13. Any other actress will now inevitably disappoint.
Also, where can I get a copy of Hair Tied Back magazine? It sounds like an awesome read. And you just know Mrs. Frederic subscribes.

I seriously hope J.August Richards is joining the team full time and if somebody has to die, well, I vote for Blandly McSquarejaw, preferably while failing to save Skye from a falling safe.

So, the only characters that died were a bunch of second stringers no one gives a fuck about?

One of the many reasons I warmed to Cougar Town was their pastiche of the finger guns battles from Spaced.

How about Terriers? I discovered this little gem a few months ago, after reading an interview with Donal Logue here on A.V. club. Highly recommended.

"I didn’t really buy the episode’s biggest moment, where Christy threw
herself into Baxter’s arms while hanging out in his trailer"

The kid's in a wheelchair. What more "happened" do you need? I'm guessing she was collateral damage in some kind of "work-related incident" at Irvings' old station; which is why he left, and possibly why he now tries to distance himself from her, out of guilt, shame and misguided feelings that he's protecting her.

They need an Asgardian. And not one who looks as though he was related to Frodo Baggins, either.

"I can’t remember ever having heard of Abraham before,"

Oh my God. How much did you want Leonard to finally just punch Sheldon in his smug, superior face at the end of the show?
Before this thing ends, I need to see Leonard beat Sheldon into unconsciousness. Just once. Not because it will be a "learning experience" for anybody, but just because the prick has had it coming.

One is moved to quote extensively, and pompously, from Shelly's "Ozymandias".

There are two kinds of coffee - black coffee (Lavazza or Illy, for preference), which is a grown-up drink, and a bunch of vaguely coffee flavoured milky children's desserts, which kidults think make them look sophisticated.
