Reading this, I learned that gifsets and gisfest are anograms that are easily mistaken for each other. And as Quimby would say, it can be two things.

You can like someone without liking what they love. Contrary to the what the narrator of High Fidelity might tell you.

There was also a Star Trek TNG race like that, in the ep where Picard is kidnapped (oh, THAT one). The Mizarians.

The only contemporary-world non-UK companions I can think of are Teegan & Peri from Australia & the US, from just a couple years apart at that. So there's fodder for arguing it's either a great or terrible idea right there.

Wouldn't be completely unprecedented…First Doctor decided grandaughter Susan should have a normal life and left her in post-Dalek Invasion Earth (not long after this episode takes place, theoretically).

Huh. I stand corrected. I vaguely knew there were electric lines but assumed they ran on a top-wire rather than an electrified rail. Thanks!

I'm not a huge train expert, but I believe inter-city trains do not run on electrified tracks.

It almost seemed like she was using him as bait, her own little Lumen. She has him run, Kelly goes after him, Nora decaps Kelly. Too bad she made the blunder of ever listening to Zack.

I was hoping Fet would reveal he'd installed UV highbeams on the van's headlights.

My explanation there would be he didn't have the nads to do it. But they should have made more of a point of it (i.e. actually remembered it was there).

Best I could come up with is that the white has some moral corrupting effect (if you're not Setrakian).

I was surprised there's no mention of the direction by horror/sci-fi weirdo Vincezno Natali. Most of it I didn't notice much new but it seemed like the top-down shot of Nora making up her mind in her room was very him.

Eph & Nora's romance arc holds together in retrospect, though the show hasn't been good at all about conveying it. Apparently she put them on a break after his DC shenanigans, but of course we didn't really know that because it felt more like the show forgot they'd been together. But both her re-starting it after some

I was thinking that instead of referring to "Zack and their bio-weapon" the review could have said "Zack and their other bio-weapon".

Bobby Fischer, Waldo, Carmen Sandiegeo…America had really lost track of all the important things then.

The trailer is more bombastic than the actual movie. Stuff like people telling Bobby he needs to win the Cold War is said, but in an atmosphere where Bobby can't tell which lies to believe anymore.

Not to be confused with Sacrificio Del Fauno, the Pan's Labyrinth knockoff.

Yeah, Dutch is definitely selfish and is only taking baby steps towards self-awareness. But compared to Eph she's the Buddha.

Yeah I also found the Dutch monogamy talk interesting. If only because it was a nice picture of openly (if conflictedly) polyamorous person versus guy who wants everyone to be monogamous but also wants to have sex with anyone he feels like. I'm also glad that it never went in a direction of THEM getting it on; even

Was he a ghost all along?
