I'm gonna have a hard time not shouting this every time I need to look something up from now on.

Obviously The Millers still exists because while God clearly hates us and doesn't want us to have nice things, He still likes Margo Martindale and Beau Bridges enough to make sure they're still collecting all that major network cash instead of the cable-tv pittance they were previously getting for The Americans and Mas

He's gonna solve crimes too, right? I mean, this is CBS, after all.

I actually laughed when they had Kittengirl jumping up on the furniture, then crouching down on her haunches to stare at lil' Batman like that — something no actual human would do, particularly if they're trying not to wake someone sleeping five feet away. It's almost as though the writers are worried the audience

Plus, Fargo referenced that very same riddle just a couple of months ago.

It's not bad. Another from low-budget horror specialist Larry Fessenden, director of Habit and The Last Winter (the latter of which also dips into Wendigo lore).

Even lthough the Ancient Chinese Poison was translated a "jincun" in the close captioning, it was hard to shake the notion that the writers were having a little joke at our expense there.

They kind of screwed up the obsolete definition of "nostalgia," too, which was closer to "homesickness" than "shellshock."

While I obviously I didn't get it from the man himself, I do have H.G. Wells' autograph. Someone had given a used copy of The Bulpington of Blup, one of his least-known and least-read novels, to the library where my mother worked and because I was a fan of Wells' science-fiction, she passed it on to me. I never

At least I hope they don't decide to have Bruce grow up in real time (maybe they could jump, say, five years ahead with each new season or something), otherwise you end up with the same problem as Smallville, where Clark had managed to meet pretty much every significant one of Superman's future friends, enemies,

Plus, it makes a decent enough lead-in for Sleepy Hollow which, by taking even cheesier material and not only having fun with it, but actually giving it some emotional resonance, gives some idea of what Gotham could be if its writers had a better handle on what they were doing.

Was this actually worth watching? I recorded the whole season but never got around to watching it.

She was also fantastic in John Sayles' short-lived tv series Shannon's Deal, which I hope gets the "One-Season Wonders, Weirdos, And Wannabes" treatment one of these days.

Damn. I'm really gonna have to be more thorough in the future when I skim Wikipedia articles to make it sound like I know what I'm talking about.

Sure. Let's go with that. Why not?

Although the Fish Mooney lezbo action isn't particularly hot either.

Actually, one of the more memorable characters in Carl Hiaasen's novel Skin Tight is a mob goon who, after his hand is bitten off by a barracuda (it's Florida), has it replaced with a weed whacker. This show could do with more of that kind of craziness.

"If you think the competition for nightclub gigs in this town is vicious, you should see what happens when a drive-thru position opens up at the Jack-in-the-Box!"

Well, yeah, I get that. I just don't get why the girls would go along with it without seeming even remotely fazed. Unless the nightclub scene in Gotham is especially cutthroat and that's a typical audition.

Yeah, hauling the two singers off to some remote dock to slug it out for a nightclub gig didn't make any sense at all beyond "Ooh! Catfight!" and because the writers wanted to do a Dark Knight shoutout. Why would anyone even go along with it, risking possible disfigurement in the process, rather than saying, "okay,
