The delivery device is under patent, but it's still not that expensive to make. And the development process wasn't even carried out by Mylan - they bought the company that did it.

I definitely think Firefly would have gone off the deep end if it had been allowed to run much longer (and even if it hadn't, its problems with race would have sunk it). But as a piece of storytelling, it's damn near perfect. I can't think of another show - and certainly not another Whedon show - that hits its…

Well, I liked Stranger Things a lot more than The Expanse, but they're very different shows trying to do very different things.

To be clear, I don't have a problem with the fact that Dutch doesn't know how to relate to women. Given her history, it's not at all surprising: she grew up in a harem, completely wrapped around one man whom she had to please and manipulate in order to survive. It's not surprising that she would automatically, and…

Killjoys's relationship with its own supposed progressiveness is extremely frustrating.

The Expanse is reasonably good (and very prettily made). But I think it's massively overpraised - certainly the first season, which is made up almost entirely of scene-setting.

That was the one where the Stargate writers clearly thought: "hey, this Battlestar Galactica thing looks pretty easy! You just make everyone mean and unpleasant and have them sleep with inappropriate people, and then you get showered with awards and invited to the UN!" Turns out, no.

Yes and no.

It's interesting how Doctor Strange went from being built up like the next Iron Man to being quietly tolerated, like the next Ant-Man. Just compare the way Marvel is promoting Thor: Ragnarok - the sequel, I'll remind you, to Thor: The Dark World - to the near-radio silence surrounding Doctor Strange, which stars one…

I'm actually surprised they're not doing more of a time jump than just a year, seeing as the actors are going to grow out of their pre-adolescent cuteness pretty fast.

OK, so this sounds like it has all the ingredients of a good, successful show. But so did all of Kitsch's previous career choices, so I can only assume that it's going to be an unmitigated disaster.

Is it possible to pick shows that have already been pre-cancelled for the CL? Seems like cheating.

I don't know. I couldn't even get two or three people to reply to my comment about Killjoys in a recent WOT thread (though about that number showed up to talk about Dark Matter, which I'd also mentioned). I can see how you'd build a viewership by continually supporting the show, as the AV Club has done in the past…

Considering everything else that went wrong in Thor 2, it's hard to pinpoint Portman's performance as the problem. She was already in the "Oscar winner and burgeoning director" phase of her career when she did the first Thor, so I'm guessing that the main inducement was the money. Maybe she thought Jane would get…

Also Buffy. And Jeremy Renner had a guest role on Angel.

OK, but by definition the fans the show has left are the ones who weathered its many reinventions and are willing to buy what the show is selling. (Personally, I was really excited about the possibility of telling a post-Winter Soldier story about facing up to SHIELD's failings and trying to rebuild from that…

It's hard to imagine AoS justifying a Sunday timeslot - maybe when it started and had a huge artificial boost from Avengers, but it quickly squandered that. It's also hard for me to imagine it pairing well with Once Upon a Time, which skews female, while AoS skews male.

You're making me regret not picking Agents of SHIELD for my cancellation league ballot. Though I still think it has a solid chance of getting a shortened fifth season "to finish its story" and keep fans from complaining.

She's been pretty upfront about the fact that she hasn't been invited back. Not that I'm complaining, because Thor and Jane had all the chemistry of a dishrag, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't Portman's choice.

Two and Three slept together in the first season, but it was depicted as purely physical - and, more importantly, as a way for the writers to make One jealous and pave the way for him and Two eventually hooking up more meaningfully (though that hit some snags as well). This episode it felt like they had a more…
