    I did not know the story behind that. Thanks. It's not going to make me see his work in a new light but now at least I get why it happened and won't use that as a criticism any more.

    Avis has a great collection of cars specifically from 80's films. May last time renting from them they were out of the Planes, Trains, and Automobiles Chrysler Lebaron Town and Country so instead I had to settle for a Mack R600 Coolpower as seen in The Road Warrior.

    I'd say "American Badass" but he must have used that already. Then again he's always been opening to recycling - even entire shots from his old movies.

    I think he's showing restraint here. It doesn't have guns, Truck Nuts, or a generically hot brunette in a cutoff tank top and Daisy Dukes washing it with overly sudsy water.

    One of the reasons is that 100 episodes is a lot of years. Bob Newhart had two big shows that had him working more or less from 1972 right up till 1990. James Garner was one of the biggest stars on TV and he played Rockford for 6 years and Maverick for another 6 years. That's 12 years of his life on two shows.

    Ahem: Darkplace Darkplace Darkplace Darkplace Darkplace Darkplaaaaaaaace!
    I'm down with any show that can so smoothly replace a character with a mannequin in certain shots.

    That's mostly because Lassiter is dividing his attention between Disney Animation and Pixar. He lives Pixar but Disney Animation was his dream job and I think he's paying more attention to it considering the huge spike in quality of that branch since his arrival. The man studied under three of the Nine Old Men:

    It might be a long term play. They may want people to realize that if they dismiss the shows people think are throwaway they might miss something actually happening so that next time they have a choice they might check out RAW, or at least flip to it during the game.

    Not in Canada, and a lot of Canadians watch Raw.

    I know it's stupid, but Raw traditionally avoids having anything happen on holiday episodes. They are usually full of phoned in skits and very short matches. The theory is why blow their good material on a day that all of TV will be down. In this case they also had two huge sporting events.

    On the final episode Sheldon reveals himself to be Vox Day.

    I have a headache.

    One of the reasons this season was less fun is that the sense of discovery is gone. Season one's "cool he can throw lighting" becomes season two's "oh. Lightning again."

    I hope that Earth 2 isn't affected by this timeline and Wells comes back really, really ticked off.

    I literally typed my own comment that said "No no no no no" before I saw yours. I was there right up until the last minute. The race idea made sense through motivation. They set up Gorilla City for the future, as well as Wally West and Jesse Quick for literally any time in the future when they felt the need to push

    I think they are invoking the whole steady-cam shot. They can't use it all for some of these scenes so just an image has to suffice.

    You know, I'd love to see the host of one of these shows put her hands against a wall and say "They're heeeere," then reveal a portal that costs the exact price to close as the 1/2 bathroom to full bathroom conversion.

    You'd be surprised how many people don't read contracts. Then again, maybe you wouldn't.

    Norm is a carpenter-god.

    Perfectly Soul. It's now the set of Soul House, and it's a disappointing remake of what they had. Tom Arnold crawled in through the ductwork, Method Man is standing in a corner glaring at everyone, and Kevin Hart just won't leave. Sophia Vergara had to be cut so they could remediate Dry Rot they found.
