Winn got a silent nerd nod from me for "thinking with portals."

Gizmodo missed the last part of the quote: "…which can be uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that needs altering." Expect Sean Spicer to start threatening to alter some nosy reporters soon.

I think it was one of the issues from Byrne's "Man of Steel" mini-series from 1986, but I didn't feel like digging out my copies to find out exactly which one. And that, alas, is what separates me from the true nerds.

Shout-out where deserved: Alf Clausen contributed a perfect horror-movie version of "Jingle Bells" during Maggie's nightmare. I need that for a Christmas playlist next year.

It was actually written for (and used in) Baz Luhrmann's "Romeo + Juliet." As noted above, it also appeared in "Person of Interest."

I'm envisioning a Cowboy Universe, like the one in Futurama.

I like the way Snrub thinks!

Is it even Seattle? Like with iZombie, the fact that they keep mentioning that they're in Seattle is the only thing that's even remotely Seattlesque.

Snapper Carr is named after the Justice League's one-time pet human/sometimes reporter.

I still remember Brenda Strong as Mount Sally from Sports Night.

There's also frozen yogurt in the Bad Place. But it's cursed. And…

I just watched this again last week, and it held up better than I remembered, even Eric Roberts. I also saw it when it first came out, and I was so excited to have new Doctor Who after so long, I was willing to forgive (i.e. ignore) the "half-human on my mother's side" retcon.

Binge it. It's all one long story.

You could tell Tyrion wanted to snark something about how badly his last run as the Hand went, but he was just too overcome by the moment.

God is a machine, and She speaks in Jesus's ear. Jesus blows off some Pharisees' kneecaps.

My favorite little detail: The lead mole-person's security badge had a picture of the bright-eyed young person he used to be, rather than the gray pony-tailed shell he is now.

Every time Doctor Who announces a new companion, my first question is always: "Is it me?" So basically, I've had thirty years of crushing disappointment.

Odd. Why was that giant head in the "Bad News Bears" musical talking like first-season Homer?

"Candle on the Water" or GTFO.
