Obtuse and acute were amazing in that one!

No, but I can imagine it now… that show must be a lightning rod for people who like using the word agency!

Okay. That's reasonable.

Yes, I know what its definition is. However, its usage here seems unnecessary. In this context, the reviewer clearly means "sexual desire". Then why not just say that?

I find myself rolling my eyes every time the trendy term du jour "agency" comes up on this site, usually because it's misused (are you referring to the "agency" of the character within the world of the story or the "agency" afforded to the character by the writer who serves as puppet master? Not all people have…

There was news a couple of years ago about a Carmen Sandiego movie with Jennifer Lopez. Haven't heard anything about it since. That's a shame. A CS movie would be awesome.

I often wondered why they didn't start with a smaller group of survivors. Like the main cast + a few guest stars that they could reference every once in a while (eg Rose, Bernard). It's understandable that they want some red shirt extras that they could easily kill off in the early stages to "raise the stakes", but…

We see fiction all the time where planets are destroyed, races are eliminated or brought to the brink of extinction, total nuclear war is unleashed, the world is a post-apocalyptic wasteland etc… to the point that we get pretty numb to it—it's often not as shocking or emotional or epic as the storytellers want it to…

Was "I'm done with this show!" one of them? And then, those same people would keep watching and posting.

Every time I see foreshadowing so blatant (though it was not inappropriate in this case), I'm reminded of the ridiculousness of Jurassic Park: The Lost World when, at the beginning, Goldblum mentions in passing his daughter's gymnastics practice and then later the little girl escapes the deadly talons of velociraptors…

Enjoyable. Has promise. I'm interested in seeing how the political storyline develops. (I consider it in good hands with RDM given I found the politics of BSG very fascinating.) It'll be particularly appropriate with current events given the upcoming Scottish referendum for independence from the UK…

***SPOILERS***

I don't know about that. What I got from the situation was that Ted learned from his past experiences that he can't WILL someone to fall in love with him with bombastic gestures. How many times did he try to will Robin into loving him and it didn't work? That time in season 7 (or was it season 8?), where he…

Perhaps. But with the mother, Ted realized from the beginning that he didn't need grand romantic gestures. (Recalling their first date on the street outside her building, when he walked away until she called him back. Even his first proposal at the lighthouse was understated.) This was a sign of growth/evolution for…

The most disappointing thing for me: the show was (or at least, tried hard to be) about destiny — about how things happen to you, good and bad, that bring you to a certain point in your life…to The Mother. But then they completely undermined it at the last minute.
