Man, it's a shame that this is a DC show, because if it was a Marvel show, Jesse could show up in an Avengers movie and BLOW STEVE ROGERS' MIND.

The person who played Mimi left first because she was pregnant. Later she totally destroyed her voice by smoking.

Huh. I'm wrong then. The cast of RENT did stay for a long time though.

This is kind of an asshole move. Traditionally, the original cast of a hit show stays on as long as it can, meaning at least a few years, because "original cast" is a term that coincides with ticket sales. Also, usually it's totally impossible for regular joes who can still afford $100 tickets to get them in the first

Just to be clear, AV Club, you just posed an entire "news" article about the Hulk getting a shoulder pad.

Not a lot of people actually get killed within a single incident of gang violence in New York, because the city has very strict gun laws, so they're not packing anything but a handgun. It's hard to shoot a lot of people with a handgun.

American movies have by far the highest production values (Bollywood movies, even the big budget ones, always look like shit) so they're visually appealing even to non-English speakers, and I suspect they like the Rock because he's not white but he's also not black. Even in India there's a stigma against people who

My mom loves him. She DVRs his show every night and watches him when she's on the elliptical. My mom is also 63 and owns a TV with a full cable package; I'm 34 and cut the cable cord 4 years ago. I now exclusively watch talk show clips on Youtube, where Conan is the only one worth watching.

You can only watch so much Hindi-language soap operas. Though actually I could take a lot of it, even though I didn't speak a word of Hindi, but again, it was not my TV. I was a guest.

My friends had the TV on the background while they were making food and I watched The Mummy: Scorpion King and Escape to Witch Mountain because I wasn't in charge of the clicker.

Fun fact: The Rock is a HUGE star in India. Indians who watch American movies love the fuck out of him. One of his movies is on one channel or another pretty much every day. I was in a Tibetan refugee community in the North and I asked what their favorite movie was and the entire classroom said "San Andreas."

If this is causes more of my Wayward Pines Kindle Worlds stories to sell, more power to them. But my books are based on the original books, and the TV show went in a different direction.

Holy shit, I would love if this movie was just a staging of the King in Yellow. I mean, the first half will be pretty boring, but that will align nicely with the other Thor movies, and then I guess the second half will cause siezures in young children?

I actually didn't figure out it was him because I was powering through the season. If I had more than like, a 10 minute break between episodes, I would have come to the logical conclusion that it was that character we've only seen once before but was played by a recognizable actor. Laws of character economy always

The implication is that Stick's been killing kids for years when he knows perfectly well who Black Sky is. Which is some lazy backwriting that almost ruins the episode from season 1.

The Stick/Matt dynamic is a bit lazy this season but still great. It just sours whenever Elektra is around. I do love the scene with the Black Sky reveal in that Stick is just standing in the background, bleeding profusely, and he clearly cannot give a SHIT, and neither can the actor playing him.

You're in for a long haul because those episodes already happened.

I used to play a game on Agent Carter where if I saw a minority of any kind I would point to them and shout "Minority!" Usually my roommate, who would be looking at her phone, would miss the Korean doctor or the one cop who might be Asian running around in the background.

Right, and he would have ruined it by having sex with her. So he didn't. What bullshit.

And hey, can we show a little appreciation to Daredevil for having FOUR named black characters this season, only two of whom were criminals? That's progress, people.
