Shakespeare may not have invented "your mom" jokes, but he does have Aaron the Moor in Titus Andronicus say "Villain, I have done thy mother!"

He nearly gets it when he has that tour guide job.  If he had only manned up and stopped Jez's "noble" confession at the end ….

That was the first Mathnet episode I ever saw, and it disturbed the heck out of 6-year-old me.

I guess this isn't quite a correction, but Ramone doesn't really deserve credit for "Alice's Restaurant"; Fred Hellerman produced the famous version of that song.  I guess the obit means that Ramone produced the (far less acclaimed) version that Guthrie did for the soundtrack of the film inspired by the song.

"The, uh, actor that played Jesus made some odd choices."
"What?"
"I mean, uh… I had fun ice skating."

"There's only one Dylan."

A lot of children's TV is like that.

If by "in his forties" you mean nearly 49, yes.

Interestingly, Peter Capaldi made his film debut in a major supporting role in Local Hero.  Coincidence …?  Probably.

I'd like to think that a show aiming for New York wouldn't mess up the subway so badly.

That was the FBI's own tracker he was getting rid off.  He didn't bother to check if the bad guys had stuck a tracker of their own on his SUV (or, for that matter, on Claire).

If anything, she's not nonplussed enough.

Elijah could have killed Klaus but didn't; thus, he is responsible for everyone Klaus killed after that, as well as making all the deaths to allow him a shot at Klaus in vain.

I got the impression that she decided to give in to keep more people from dying (and specifically, to allow Tyson to be taken to a hospital).

I'm pretty sure he did it badly on purpose.

… and yet no one complained when the same showrunner did this on The Vampire Diaries.

Yeah … the existence of that patio door was a big WTF.  The marshals didn't try to defend it, the bad guys didn't try to attack, but when Ryan needed to get Claire out it, it was right there waiting to be used.

He's played magicians of various stripes (usually evil) on House, Monk, and in the Wizards of Waverly Place movie.  He also played a burnt-out rock star on some Disney show, which is probably what got him cast in this role.
