You can just say "dentist".

Yes, but he was so handsome, and the way he treated everything she cared about with contempt and flunked out of high school and then lied about it was just so romantic.

I never did watch season seven the first time around. I'm bracing myself mentally.

I had not heard about that. Looking at the Wikipedia summary, it sounds utterly dreadful - but the kind of dreadful that could be amusing.

There were some great bits in the 2001 to 2003 Harley Quinn comic in which she set up a psychiatric practice and was actually genuinely good at it, while also being a crazy violent zany criminal.

That was Oil Overload 3, and Oil Overload 8 followed it up by examining the way the criminal justice system deals with white-collar crime and the long-term effects of environmental disasters.

So my Gilmore Girls rewatch has reached the start of season six, and the realisation that actually Logan is a pretty cool guy. I mean, he's a spoiled rich brat, but that's not his fault, and otherwise he's funny and charming, he pushes Rory (which Dean didn't really do) and he respects her (which Jess never did).

Clearly this is absolute proof that nominative determinism is a thing.

I've seen every episode of The Flash once, and almost never bother to watch repeats. But channel-hopping the other day I saw Lisa Snart, and instantly stopped because her presence guarantees a good episode. And not just because it means Captain Cold is also going to be there. Her relationship with Cisco is just a…

Careful; apparently there were some shenanigans with the rights which meant America never got the first episode (which was broadcast about a year before the rest of the series).

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that the "guest who turns their household completely upside down" is the middle-class family's 19-year-old daughter's neurotic 60-year-old boyfriend.

Michael Shannon should be best known for that time he came round to dinner at your place and didn't say anything the whole evening, just sat in the corner staring at you and chewing really really intensely.

Wait, America adds a gratuitous "Inspector" to the title of Lewis? Damn it, people, Inspector Morse was supposed to be the sole exception to the ancient law that you only use "Inspector" in a title if it works as a slightly dirty and exceptionally childish pun, like "Inspector Butt".

Depending on body weight and ABV, the right mood is probably between five and seven beers.

I'm pretty certain playing Whitesnake in public is a fireable offence in most states anyway.

Well, that explains why I haven't seen the other guy from The Cabin in the Woods in anything for a while. I'm glad he didn't just vanish.

That's Michelle Yeoh of Police Story III: Supercop, in which she matches a top-of-his-game Jackie Chan kick for kick and crazy stunt for crazy stunt.

Yes. I find it best not to dwell on it, and take advantage of the fact that I'm lucky enough to have a large and forgiving family.

I've never seen the film, but I have read the book. Which took the position that, really, those poor benighted coloured folks were better off as slaves, because they needed someone to tell them what to do.

That was the Masons counter-rigging against Hillary's Illuminati.
