The cliffhanger ending reminded me that, last season, it looked like there was another mole in the Federal service aside from Dead FBI Asshole, and the smart money was Vasquez or Nelson (since no one else has names). Maybe they're going to pay that off, and that's why Nelson is hanging around conspicuously.

I grew up in Miami. While most of the more-than-first-generation american population has the standard "american" accent (more or less), because we're all descended from New Yorkers, there's a decently-sized minority with thick, good ol' boy accents like the Crowes. And a fair amount of the ones I knew tended to be…

Oh, shit! He wasn't wearing the hat! I knew that Raylan's hair looked funny, it's because I don't usually see it so damn much.

I actually noticed his name in the credits (as an actor). I kind of wish he'd waived billing for that (or done the thing where he gets an extra-big credit at the end), so when it got to two minutes before the end of the show and blood was spilling out of a container, I didn't already know who was going to be inside.

Well, at the pace this show goes, it's entirely possible we'll reach the series finale next year and Art will still be six months from retirement. I remember people started thinking they were setting up imminent retirony when they first mentioned it… last season? Season 3? On his birthday, and that was only four…

On the other hand, the idea of the Always-Wrong Asshole he played on "Seven Days" (an association it took a bit of the first season of "Justified" for me to fully shake) listening to Limbaugh is fine.

That is some top-shelf reviewing right there. I guess it goes to show you the danger of received wisdom and second-hand reports.

That was my first thought, as well.

You know, that's how Martin Luther got started.

Well, then we need someone with issue #360 of Doctor Who Magazine and Doctor Who Magazine Special Edition #11 to clear up the confusion with some direct quotes.

Nope. Were that I was.

Let's all take a moment to be grateful for "Boom Town," rather than the original episode concept for that slot, where the Doctor, Jack, and Rose went Pompeii, and in the course of their adventure, Jack found out the Doctor had been slipping back to Rose's childhood to influence her into growing up to be his perfect…

It's established that sufficiently violent deaths can make regeneration impossible. Drowning wouldn't necessarily have to be one of them, though. He could've regenerated, then drowned again. "Let's Kill Hitler" and "The Christmas Invasion" (among others) establish that the regenerative process sticks around for a…

A few hours seems reasonable, given that they're all wearing different clothes. I expect they landed at the Powell Estate for the night and then left the following morning.

Yeah, given that she was a functional adult, I imagine that Sarah Jane wasn't really hung up on the Doctor except, perhaps, in her own head. It's just that seeing him again brought all that to the surface.

Bart did it! That Bart, right there!

I remember once seeing on another forum that there was an actual historical Man With No Name who met up with Madame de Pompadour a couple of times. The Marquise de Something-or-other. There was a wikipedia page for him, which I neglected to bookmark. I've never been able to track down the reference again, so I always…

As far as Moffat reusing themes goes, ever since I first saw "Fireplace," I always thought the ending they were building towards was the Doctor having to take the "slow path," and Rose and Mickey using the TARDIS Emergency Protocol (or, I suppose, the Fast-Return Switch) to go back to 21st century London, where they'd…

David Warner's Doctor Who character was about as memorable as St. John Talbot from Star Trek V. That's probably cheating, though, since people remember him from Star Trek VI or "Chain of Command."

Also a bit surprised to hear that K-9 is not the original model; the script's digs at his 'disco style I assumed were a winking nod to his retro appearance.
