    A friend of mine works for the Anti-Defamation-League…. I asked him how they were doing. He said it was awful….but on the other hand "KA-CHING!". Lot of donations.
    Seemed to be getting a little spoiled. When I said I had a recurring donation the ACLU, he wanted to know where was the ADL's cut?

    More Traveller than generic Irish… I grew up in Dublin but needed the subtitles.

    People in the UK and Ireland often make fun of Americans trying to do English accents… but it works both ways… I've watched some UK shows where the American accents are risible (for example in Spooks/MI-5, a CIA guy speaks for a few seconds, and my wife, a Texan, just burst out laughing at how bad it was)

    I think this was the first time I've seen someone come out on TV where they said that the opposite sex simply didn't do that much for them physically….
    Normally, when a hitherto straight character is scripted as gay, it is shown as an emotional relationship with someone of the same sex that develops into something

    Sad. I was actually just discussing him on Monday with my jujitsu instructor, a friend of his (my instructor also was an actor). He mentioned how broken up Mr Massee was for several years after Brandon Lee's death, even though it was in no way his fault.
    It led to some personal problems for him.

    She was.

    Worst episode in a good series… resolving his not saying goodbye to his mother (something that was not an issue before) in a dream sequence, for Christ's sake?
    Beyond cliche.
    Inconsistent characters and hokey dialogue.
    Just lame.

    My personal favorite is the image of Snoopy as a legionnaire, looking madder than hell, with a quote from Beau Geste.
    "And then appeared on the scene, the only man I have ever met… without a single redeeming virtue save courage."

    Some people need lattes…

    Look, it's got some rough edges… and the bathroom/ food situation always bothered too… but:
    Psychic Gorillas
    Saving people mid-goddamn-trainwreck

    Eh, probably would have happened anyway.

    I'm up to episode 6… I had actually given up on it, until I found out about the Flash crossover.
    I have found it a bit annoying…. the main character is far too passive, too much talking about feelings, too self involved, if I was her I would have thrown an iced latte in Calista Flockharts face…. she's just unpleasant.

    "Legal Action" Jackson was a Harvard Law man…

    Best television dad?
    John Schneider from Smallville (My real fatherr)
    Jesse L Martin in the Flash

    At the Saps' Convention?

    Respectfully disagree. I do a reasonable amount of martial arts, and a guy with that amount of weight and raw strength is pretty hard to even move.
    It's one thing to fight someone 70lbs heavier than you…. 250lbs and enormously strong, and a former pro athelete (OK,basketball, but still…)
    No chance.

    Um. There is a town in rural Japan where a bunch of old guys (in their 60s) spend their evenings doing Kosen judo (not a particular style but a set of rules which allow you to do groundfighting for longer than regular judo).
    A training buddy of my judo instructor, a regional champion in the US, a guy in his 40s, went

    A buddy of mine is in this… second bearded guy from the left!
    He did warn us as a henchman, it is unlikely to be a recurring role…
    Likely to come down with acute lead poisoning.
    (From being shot in the face.)

    Surely, the entire point about the show is getting caught up in a narrative
    Why, last week, my attorney wife complained about the last episode because she said a deposition would never happen so quickly, and it didn't follow correct procedure….
    I quickly cut her off with "BO-RING! Look how pretty he is!"

    Not to Pincus, but shouldn't that be "But what if it wasn't"?
