Oh, god, yes. I quite like Three, in fact, and I wouldn't be opposed to a romance between him and Two if I thought the show could handle it. But it almost certainly can't - see the way that Four and Nix devolve into children after their night together.

This weekend, on "catching up with all the shows I let bank up this summer": Killjoys! Which I ended up enjoying a lot less than I was expecting. I had pretty fond memories of the first season, but either I'd edited out the tedious standalone plots or the show has gotten way worse at doing them. And the…

I was 11 when B&tB came out, and at the time I enjoyed watching Law & Order with my mother. The discovery that not only was Lennie Briscoe Lumiere, but that he was a famous song-and-dance man, pretty much broke my tiny brain.

So that, for once, the universal reaction when he transforms into a man won't be "I thought he was hotter as a beast"?

For the record, here is a partial list of things that are currently working on TV:

I'm starting to think that Pine has the pretty classic problem of being a character actor with a leading man's face. It certainly doesn't help that his most famous role requires him to act like an idiot man-child without ever being called on it. It just intensifies the impression of him as shallow and uninteresting,…

The review references "the implicit guilt both express about choosing lucrative legal careers over the plight of struggling Chicago communities."

Take comfort from the fact that allegations about Cosby were being made for decades before the public consensus finally started to take them seriously.

It's been done before, though, hasn't it? Off the top of my head, there was that Nick Hornby adaptation about a bunch of people who try to jump off the same roof at the same time, and instead form a support group? It's a pretty obvious hook, so I'd guess that there have been other versions of it as well.

I thought he was easily the best part of Ant-Man (which admittedly was a pretty weak movie, but still), and I had a faint hope that someone at Marvel would have the good sense to try to make him the new Coulson, and use him as a connective element between the different movies. But I guess showing up in the sequel…

I'd be more sympathetic if the internet's focus had been "how could you design your enclosure and safety procedures so poorly that a three-year-old managed to end up in the gorilla enclosure?" Instead it seems to have been "how dare you kill a gorilla just to save a three-year-old child?" Which, aside from the fact…

The hair has been tied up in bunches, which is what they ask you to do when donating it to wig charities.

I was thinking this before watching this episode, and now I'm even more persuaded: am I the only one who thinks we're not going to find out who the murderer is? Or, at best, that we'll get a good indication of who it is (I mean, it's almost got to be the stepfather, right?) but no smoking gun, and no arrest?

I'm not sure I see how Freddy could pin the murder on Naz, since the most he could do is testify that he was an accomplice (Naz is, after all, on camera talking to the guard while the murder is being committed). And with just Freddy's testimony to back that story up, it would be pretty hard to get the DA to…

I'm reserving judgment on the android's storyline - it felt a little convenient to have the actress play human for one episode and then go straight back. But she is a fun character.

I've been busy with various projects this summer, so haven't had much time for TV. This weekend I caught up with a couple of shows that I've let pile up on my computer.

My choices:

I'm glad to say, so far I haven't met anyone on the left who think that the Burkini ban is anything but Islamophobic claptrap, and pretty misogynistic to boot.

I've been debating with myself whether I think SHIELD is a dead show walking - to the extent of considering it as a pick for my very first Cancellation League ballot.

He also had a nice straight man role in the abortive SyFy pilot Three Inches in which he played a Charles Xavier type, who is trying to help people with powers use them without being arrested and experimented on by the government. It was made around the same time as Alphas, and I guess the channel when the other way…
