This is great. I have a gap in my viewing schedule now I've given up on the slow motion train wreck that is Gotham; tedium in shades of grey and this should fill it nicely.

Did anyone else find the whole watching Daredevil thing an exercise in gradually diminishing returns?
I really loved the first few episodes, but it gradually seemed to lose momentum
and credibility as it crawled inevitably toward a conclusion and up its own colon. The final reveal of Daredevil in costume was so…

It's a shame this wasn't developed. Here is someone who clearly loves Eisner's work and respects his ouevre. This could have been as awesome as Bruce Timm's Batman. Just the idea of Eisner's title pages being animated, with the lettering incorporated into brickwork, scaffolding, and tattered advertising hoardings or…

I realise this isn't the takeaway this clip tried to evoke, but damn, Christopher Reeve was just freakin' majestic, wasn't he?

Bro: Noun; Hideously offensive invective in any tongue but English. Apparently.

*Yawn*

Ohh, sure. That old chestnut.

"In irony, we lead the world."

Loeb is a hack (and an incredibly dull conversationalist).His whole career is based on that one Batman story that he's been recycling in one form or another ever since. And that includes Yellow. The dude is a vulture, picking over the corpses of ideas better writers have already explored and moved on from. He's like…

"The opening sequence is a series of images formed in red candle wax,

I watch the Odd Couple the way I used to watch Anger Management; with a sort of grim, horrified fascination. Actually, Anger Management was at least startlingly tasteless and dumb. The Odd couple is this slick, bloodless, stillborn thing created by some committee. I seriously wonder exactly what dead eyed, soulless…

I thought that until I saw the episode. "Characters in a show decide to build a blanket fort" isn't exactly plagiarism. Like the review said, the episode failed because they had ideas enough for two shows and tried to cram them into one and ended up with this odd, bland mess.

Yeah; a tough choice, but the right one to make, I think. I can't see Bonnie understanding that, though. At least not for a while.

"Sheldon and Amy build a massive blanket fort…"

What's that brushing the shoulder gesture Diane does? I assume from context that it's indicating contempt or disapprobation, but I'm unfamilier with it.

Their greeting at the door was priceless,

I don't know that I'd characterise ludicrous or preposterous as pretentious, but pulchritudinous and domicile are indupitably sesquipedalian.

You don't?

No.

The Colour of Magic was also influenced by the writings of Fritz Leiber. The original inspiration for Ankh-Morpork was clearly Lankhmar, Leiber's otherworldly New York, while Bravd the Hublander and The Weasel, who feature in the first ever Discworld story, are obvious pastiches of Fafhrd and the Gray (Grey?) Mouser,…
