I thought it was for her maternal grandmother's family; she was one of the Boston Muds, you know.

The Island is the Dorne of Orphan Black: Where plot and quality go to die. Mud wearing a cowbell? Nobody ever questioning while her name is Mud? The science-cultists all but waving pitchforks while running around burning down their own tent-village & clinic while ignoring the feeble elderly 80 or 170 year old they…

It's hard to judge a big two part episode without seeing both parts but there were a number of things about this episode that bothered me because they appeared to screw with the established rules or raise questions we don't seem to have ever been given a clue for. It worries me that they've either had to do some…

I hate to enable the show's racist middle aged white lady who can't tell a Sikh from a Muslim but I absolutely agree with her: Someone who takes their shoes off on an airplane has NO regard for other human life.

Damnit. I missed that. I'll have to go back and check.

How was Harley infected as a zombie? We never saw him get scratched, right? I wonder how many other Z+ people are out there just waiting to die and turn. Maybe it's related to the intern's comments about her friends who've been seeing a weird SARS-like virus? The first time that happens around real civilians or…

I get that Clive needed a way to test ballistics that wouldn't involve letting it out that he was working on the case he was banned from working on. But how/why does Clive have his own secret CSI ballistics guy?

The top problem with the universal franchise idea is the actors they're casting. Let's look at two actors from an actual successful shared universe who are both making serious noises about being too old for this shit: RDJ is 52, Hugh Jackman is 48. They've been in their shared universe movies since 2008 and 2000,…

Blaine has to be SO hard up to give Boss that many second chances.

Yeah when you hire a guy like him and he's dead in one but one-note psycho spoon boy continues onward as a major protagonist?

The reviewer missed one classic trick of struggling TV shows: Stunt Casting! Each of the first two episodes featured someone with a familiar face who could stick around just long enough to become zombie chow. S03E01 featured the assistant sadistic badguy played by runty tough looking guy who plays Mickey on…

We need a DS9 of walking dead shows. Show them working to keep a functioning society going, to re-civilize the traumatized survivors, to go boldly in search of stuff like hydroponics, power generating tech, water purification, or try to communicate with the larger world.

I have the feeling this entire study could've been prevented had they only watched an after school special that taught them the power of looking up big words in the dictionary if you don't know what they mean. For example, looking up the definition of "stylized" could have saved the study authors a lot of time.

I have a pair of earliest star wars memories.

It was a nice lampshade with us getting to see Oliver put on his fake long island beard/wig over his regular ugly flashback wig, especially after pretty much everyone's made fun of it for years. It was also a nice echo to the movie 'Kick-Ass' when Nicholas Cage's disguise is putting a bigger mustache over his regular…

It's like Melania forgot her fancy pope hat so at the last minute they gave her a local table napkin. Don't worry! Nobody will notice! Looks completely natural!

Chase Kolpath in the Alex Benedict series of SciFi-archaeology-mysteries written by Jack McDevitt! Dunno if you'd count that since McDevitt's stuff hasn't (yet at least) made it to the screen.

After you say it, yeah, ok, that makes WAY more sense plus gives a cool call-back to original superman if it's supposed to give Daxamites the power to leap tall buildings in a single bound. I doubt I would've gotten that even with repeat viewings so I'm going to flatter myself and say that your point, while striking…

So apparently Vivian was not, in fact, behind the theft of the remaining doses of the cure. Wouldn't it be hilarious if it turns out the "mastermind" behind the cure-theft was some random crackhead who wandered in off the street and grabbed everything that looked even sorta drug-like to take back to his cardboard box…

Pretty sure Alex and Maggie got the Super cousins to the Fortress, not Kara flying 3 other people up there while in a condition worse than most DUIs.
