Agreed. They never balanced it to the degree something like Buffy or Angel did, relying more on the grittiness. They needed to do things like this more regular.

Especially given how much mileage Lucifer gained in season two by adding an ME character. Missed opportunity indeed.

Thanks for the compliment! Though clearly I'm not doing my job if my SJW passions aren't coming out in my writing. Need to get on that.

A line I had to cut from my original review was "cryptology girls club."

Oops. Has been corrected.

Deepest, bluest.

I think you'll be pleased with next week's installment.

Some more resurrections confirmed! Star Wars Rebels, Ash vs. Evil Dead, and Elementary will all have regular coverage. (Ash hadn't been dropped on the list, but I confirmed S2 gets weekly reviews.)

The editors agreed! We'll be doing weekly coverage of the final season.

Reviews are a go! Erik and I talked it out today and I'll be doing the final season.

We're going to get them! The editors decided to bring it back for final season coverage.

We get to strike one from the list! The editors have agreed to bring back Grimm coverage for its sixth and final season.

Got a couple more to add to the death toll: Elementary and Blunt Talk are also dropped from the rotation.

I like how Max Allan Collins said on his blog that while it doesn't fit with the book (where the character is in the Midwest), his opinion is "Let's face it, the Broker was born to have a Southern accent."

I find it interesting that HBO Go/Now doesn't incorporate Cinemax programming, save that two-month period where they put The Knick S1 up there to bait appetites for S2.

In the first 20 minutes. I counted because I knew that question would be on point.

Unfortunately no regular coverage, though depending on where it goes I may do a finale drop-in. Without spoiling anything, the nature of that cold open is still a mystery after four episodes.

I loved The Knick as well, but it's a project I always feel is a bit aside from the network's programming. The prestige of Soderburgh/Owen, the heavy period trappings, and the ultraviolence taking place on the table rather than in gunfights and street fights makes it feel like its own thing as opposed to fitting into…

He's playing Southern.

I did that once and everyone got mad at me. I wound up editing it after the fact.
