So, House+Murder One+The Paper Chase? I can live with that.

The point here is that he's not just sacrificing his own happiness but also being deliberately hurtful to someone he loves and swore sacred vows to. Not the same thing at all.

A is A; therefore anacrocapitalism.

The fact that this involves his abandoning a wife permanently makes it a bit less saintly. (I find it difficult to believe that the memory of that would never resurface again no matter how long he kept leaping.)

I think you also need at least one out of Rick Flag and Bronze Tiger too.

That's a really impressive second paragraph, managing to connect the Suicide Squad to

Mala Noches. Bad nights, not bad cheesy chips. Although 'Bad Cheesy CHiPs' isn't a horrible description of CSI:Glasses

So, are we to take this episode as the first time Shane actually cheats on Marla, according to his own rhyme-based definitions? (Or does he have another one, undeployed ('jailbait's not a fail-state', or the like?)

I always though Frank's 2000" TV was closer to The Waterboys than anyone else, but figured them too obscure to really deserve an official style parody. "General 90's light alternative" is where it landed more than any particular band, I guess.

I have to wonder, though: back when Chloe was in the business of dumping documents on the press, why in the world didn't she also make public all of the details about what the Russians Jack killed were actually up to?

Nina god-damn Myers. (Because if Tony could survive, why not her too? She just got shot in the face, Jack didn't even verify the kill…)

As far as I know at this point, it's only those two (Weaving and Stallone pending E3). Possibly Jackie Chan as well, depending on whether enough of "Dragon" "Dragon Ma Yue Lung" and "Ma Yau" are supposed to be the same character to push it over.

Okay, I guess it's the Hugo Weaving club then.

Damn; you're right. I think I was thinking he was in more F&F movies than he was/is going to be. Gotta wait for Crank 3 to let him in.

The Expendables 3 will also induct two different actors (Statham and Stallone) into the Harrison Ford Club, actors who have played three different characters in three different film franchises for at least three movies each. (If Conan hadn't fell through it would have been part of Arnold's induction as ewll.)

Also, you know, she did. We still don't know who she was working in S2.

I have to say that I haven't been this aggressively lied to by a 'next on' preview since Voyager went off the air. (And I watched all but the last season of Hell's Kitchen!)

Sort of a distinction without a difference, considering that the last majority of the ones on the list happened in the last five seconds or so of a season finale and barely establish any facts beyond the fact of the jump until the next season starts up…

Just a chunk of LA and the entire cast. Thus the jump to "One Year Earlier" in the second season opener.

Conspicuously absent: 24, which jumped forward between 2 to 7 years between every single season (including the one time where it would have made the most sense not to), and Sledge Hammer, which pulled off the high-difficulty reverse time jump. (Only done previously by Dark Shadows…)
