Thanks! I didn't know Willis was involved in creating the character.

I don't think Sara went along due to self-doubt. She had a pretty calculating look on her face when she bowed out so I believe she knew fully well that Stein would back-pedal soon enough. If she'd challenged him right out, he would've just become more insistent about it and possibly created a power struggle that

Huh, really? I just assumed (it's been years since I saw either and memory fails) it was in Die Hard 2 because of the Finland connection but I guess it was just a cock-up then, or as @Piecar says above, intentional to show how clueless the experts are.

I actually really like the Constantine movie but I think it only works when you accept it has nothing whatsoever to do with the source material. Even the name is pronounced differently.

The director Renny Harlin is from Finland and he's always sneaking in little references to Finland in his movies. Like in Cliffhanger there is a parachute in a Finnish flag design. Americans are unlikely to spot them but Finns kinda love him for it.

Why do you think it was a vanity project? Not trying to fault you for feeling that way, just curious as to why.

You and me both. Those Big Belly Burgers don't pay themselves and all of Harry's money is tied up in a different universe. Judging by Cisco's sweet pad, he's getting income from somewhere.

I think the best bit of the movie (yippikayee aside) is when he has to walk over the broken glass barefoot. It's not just that you know it will hurt, and you can imagine how much it will hurt in a way you can't really imagine an explosion or something few people experience in real life, but because you can imagine

Star Labs isn't so much a work place as it is a club house for friendly metas and friends of metas.

Especially as without his suit, he's actually pretty amazing. I just couldn't wrap my head around Vixen giving him a hard time about not having innate powers. Without his suit, Ray designed his frigging suit! As a feat of engineering, that's cool! Whereas without her totem Vixen can… punch people? Maybe my priorities

I think they brought him back because he was popular with fans, but they didn't have a clear idea what to do with him. In the beginning he was the adult figure in Elena's life and the odd couple buddy for Damon, and both worked. In S6 he was … and S7 was such a mess it hardly matters.

My solicitor has advised me not to answer this question so suffice to say, I prefer richer flavours.

Hobos don't taste like chocolate syrup. If they did, we'd have eaten them all by now.

I can't think of anything from Hitchcock that would have particularly scared me or made me feel particularly much of anything on a visceral level, which I associate with horror. His movies are slow burns that keep you thinking all the while, and that sort of intellectual engagement with what's going on and what are

Maybe Ella ends up being Azrael. I really like her and I think they've done a good job making her feel part of the group and all, but it would still be nice if she had some greater role in the actual plot.

Anyone who likes "the best pal" character would probably really enjoy MTV's Teen Wolf. Dylan O'Brien does amazing work in a role that could otherwise be just a comic sidekick, and the writers have clearly recognised this and are playing to his considerable strengths. Bridging the humorous and the downright touching,

Dammit! I thought for sure we were due a ridiculously hot guy as a villain instead of another ridiculously hot woman. Oh well, shows how much I know…

They never had a happily ever after. S5 Buffy constantly rejects him (for a good reason). S6 Buffy is struggling with her post-heaven depression and outsources some of that pain into her relationship with Spike, culminating in her rejecting him and fighting her way to normalcy and mental health. S7 Buffy relates to

This would have worked for me. It's difficult enough to justify the existence of the masquerade in the first place with the non-logic akin to Zaphod Beeblebrox's sunglasses. To have the government involved is just taking it too far to unbelievable.

I believe the choice was made on the basis that Spike was one of the most beloved characters of the show and they needed to keep him on. There was no place for evil/ambiguous Spike in the story anymore so the only reasonable way to keep him was by turning him good.
