Absolutely right. In my view Denethor gets a far worse deal from the movies than Faramir does - in fact the worst of any character- although people get less upset about it because he's not such a beloved figure. This also seriously devalues the stature of Gondor itself, which in the books has been single-handedly…

I thought this started to approach the sheer nuttiness that made season one such a delight. I was just starting to think they hadn't made Darnley awful enough, and then he burned down a house to stage an act of heroism. Perfect. And he demanded the Crown Matrimonial! I may have actually clapped. (When do we meet…

My biggest question - why, on the CW of all networks, have they cast Darnley as someone almost twice the historically accurate age? I'm racking my brains for a reason and just cannot fathom it.

Look, you're clearly not listening to me. I like him as much as you do, so let's just leave it at that and look forward to more of him next week.

Given that he's a regular on another very successful CW show, I highly doubt he (or his agent) cares. He'd still be credited as a "special guest star". As I've said before, this kind of thing is not uncommon on plenty of other shows, but TVD has never done it for some reason and I think that's stupid. You talk about…

I wasn't saying he should be uncredited, just that he should be credited at the end. You just stick a "special guest star: Chris Wood" in there as soon as the screen goes blank. Plenty of shows have done this to maintain the surprise of an unexpected appearance.

Thrilled to have Kai back, but how much more effective would that have been if they hadn't credited Chris Wood up front? I didn't know he was coming back before this episode, and if he'd just shown up at the end there unannounced I would have been so happy and surprised. Instead I spent the whole (lacklustre) episode…

Hey, let's throw Alicia and Cary a case together - and have them barely interact! Let's finally get the hang of Grace - and then get rid of her! Let's come so, so close to solving our serious structural problems by getting everyone back under one roof - and then decide not to for vague hand-wavey reasons!* Let's…

I don't think they were in the first conversation, though, were they? In that situation, IIRC, the people in the room were Barry, Cisco, Caitlin, Ronnie and Stein, all of whom would definitely have known what a singularity was. But yeah, I really wish they hadn't gone with Caitlin as the one to ask the question,…

Lincoln's a bad actor, not Luke Mitchell, I think. :)

This is the second time in a few weeks I have read a scene completely wrong, and it's worrying me, because it's not reading a scene wrong in a good way. Because I thought all those brazen "no"s meant that Alicia had some sort of plan that she was about to enact that made her safe from all those losers. I mean, we're…

I remember Telford having crazy chemistry with just about everyone on that show (except the annoying younger royal siblings). Where is she these days?

It's funny, at the time I thought "The Palace" was such trash (watchable trash, sure), but looking back on it now it was basically this exact show except a million times better. Better cast, couples with ACTUAL CHEMISTRY (!!!), at least vague attempts to be somewhat accurate. I mean, it had its stupid plots as well,…

I was convinced Redmayne was being offensive as a test to see which one of them would call him on it, and that they would be the one to get the money. I was shocked - SHOCKED - to find it was actually all on the surface. I kind of found Alicia taking it a bridge too far, actually. I mean, I know she's become morally…

I believe, with mention of the DNC, we had our first (and only) confirmation that Leslie and Ben are, in fact, Democrats. Not that there was ever any serious doubt.

No we do not say "zee-bra" in Australia. I am Australian too, and I have to say I've never heard another Australian say "zee-bra". (Although maybe it's a state thing? I'm from NSW.)

She said her name was Alma, Brittany just kept calling her Abuela because she's Brittany.
