That just fucking killed it. I can't recall another show I've watched where a consistant season of B episodes culminated in an A+ slam dunk. I teared up a couple times this episode was so good. It was like "Finally, Rebels… take your place on the podium with your brothers and sisters."

Last ep of MASH was great. I bawled like three times. But Hawkeye's breakdown is too much to go through again.

Mission: Impossible (1970 - "The Rebel") has the curious fortune of Nimoy and Mark Leonard sharing the screen as Paris and a Central American corrupt police official - rather than their more familiar roles as Vulcan father and son. The same episode also has the very young and lovely Leslie Ann Warren in the main cast

Sadly, of the time. Packaging before Execution. Disney still occasionally has a project that was cast and engineered before written: Bolt perhaps. Hunchback. The Planes movies. Any 90's strait-to-video sequels. The new Jungle Book is worrisome while the word on Cinderella is pretty good.

They are of different eras. Aristocats still had the Sherman Brothers score (and Phil Harris!) while Oliver had every 80's B+ Singer they could grab.

Great to see a shout out for Krull. Give my own shout out to Legend. There's something to be said here about going into Dungeons and catacombs with swords underground, sononomous with the unconscious and the interior. Where as outer space and leaving the atmosphere is The Possible, the potential, the future.

I realized what I wanted a couple of episodes ago was for Agent Carter to run over behind a shrub and spin around and turn into Wonder Woman whenever the action called for it. She could chew me out over my opinions of her anytime.

I think they've modeled Chopper too blatantly on Bender. I'm surprised he hasn't popped out a flask of booze and started drinking up.

I'd go with Cooper over Pratt.

Shit. There's some Blake Edwards party scenes and anything with Peter Sellers … Shit! The introductory dinner scene in Murder by Death with Sellers, Faulk, and fucking Truman Capote.

A season 2 could have a "True Detective" type arc and show Peg in several different decades. This current season started to have a Fringe feel - subbing Starks inventions for Walter's inventions that he forgot he invented. The "Mad Scientist Invention-of-the-week" subgenera.

For awhile I've thought they should do Animated Feature ever other year and on the off years have Best Vocal Performance. Each category covering a two-year season. True, though, animated features have increased in frequency through international fare. Go GKids! Boo BH6!

Art direction is the only reason Big Hero 6 (only barely) deserves its nomination.

Batman Begins' terror gas in the Narrows.

"The Speech" was concise. A one sentence blam for each character. It's not like she stepped on a soap box … the countdown time crunch made everyone cut through the b.s.

I rather liked this episode. Yes, the info dump at the high school was laughable - but hey - some cases crack easy. There's a plausible whif a procedural there. There's 4 plot threads moving every episode: Master B, Penguin, Fish, & Cops. Five if you count the bad guys. Each show is 44 minutes. So, you're

Angie's sweater: Drool. Howl! (Slap)

Anyone else get a chuckle out of Empire Carpet and Flooring having ad time on this show? I know they're originally out of Chicago, so I'm sure not everyone got that commercial. Famous jingle: "588-two-three hundred … Empire!" With the families running around their living rooms with their socks on it was easy to

I thought it was pretty "dark" that the Empire was using the corpse of Master Luminara to lure Jedi into a trap. They're holding hostage her immortal soul! Poor Luminara just needs a proper burial or incineration. Whoever in the Empire came up with that scheme is a sick fucker.

I wondered if maybe the Russians had their own Steve Rodgers Em-bigulator and they were putting their assassin girls into it pre-puberty. So "grown-up" Dottie could actually be 12 … or some crazy shit like that.
