I think it is a worthy question but I just want to note I love how that is a great case of life imitating art. Meaning it is equally good question how the characters in the show will function without the character Logan, as it is how the actors in the show will function without the actor Cox.

With all due respect, you are now where you should have been all along.

Nice reminder that despite the humanizing grief, as soon as they need to make real decisions again, they will be right back to being the people we love to despise.

Oh, and Indiana Jones and Marion. Indy obviously went on to continued stardom with other co-leads. Still, Raiders of the Lost Ark is such a towering (and influential) movie in the action/adventure genre, and that was another high-chemistry duo, so they also seem like a strong candidate for inclusion.

And the way Powell eventually gets in on the action is an all-time-great moment for the genre!

I’m not sure I understand the rules of this list, but it seems to have omitted the combination romantic/action duos.

Yeah, I am tempted to nominate Nick and Nora Charles . . . .

As others have pointed out, it is structured like a classic dramedy. Meaning basically it is like a mirror image of a show like Northern Exposure, where everyone is deliciously awful instead of endearingly charming.

I think Tom is better off being directly hitched to Logan rather than through Shiv. Even he was unclear earlier on whether he had actually pulled that switch off, but this episode seemed to cement that at least for now, he has.

At least ones I still care about . . . .

I’ll stand by the consensus that the first two acts of Wonder Woman were entertaining and well-done, and the third act was not.

Fargo Season 2 is one of my all-time favorite seasons across all TV shows so it is hard for anything else to quite match up.

I know we could do this all day, but in my mind, his list of impressive credits starts with Big Trouble in Little China. Not least because his incredible performance as Lo Pan seriously elevated the film without in any way ruining the fun.

So far Connor seems like too much of a buffoon to strike me as truly dangerous in the way his half-siblings strike me. I get that politics can leverage that up, but I don’t really seem him as a potential political success.

Overall I thought it was a fun episode in that it layered the ‘80s horror nostalgia on the ‘80s procedural nostalgia pretty effectively.

Interestingly, this was my least favorite episode so far. I just didn’t get into the characters as much as usual, and didn’t find it as funny as usual.

From murder to attempted murder is maybe a baby step?

I can see what you mean, but I think by design it is a show which tries to pack in a lot of fun moments for the guest stars. The basic structure of the show is part of that, but so is the slightly surrealist tone, the physical comedy, and of course Lyonne’s manic energy once Charlie gets on the case.

I think Cote is right that the basic point is to show the corrupting influence of Barry on the people around him.

But just before, Vader says he is planning a long torture session. And he has no idea Kenobi will even have a means of escape. And then someone unexpectedly relights the fire he just put out, and he spontaneously changes his entire long-planned revenge?
