"Fucking Willie" is literally the reason Spielberg screwed up.

Iron Eagle came out before Top Gun.

Couldn't they have just edited the alien subplot out of Alien 3?

It seems like a lifetime away.
The most effective way to establish Chekov's gun is to disguise it as something else. We forget about the power loader because at the time it just seemed like a development to spark a flirtation between Ripley and Hicks.

And bats?

Wait until "Orlando Strong" comes out in two years.

Surely they made Tsarnaev himself take care of that?…it was his blood.

I heard that swear jar damn near paid everybody's salary on that shoot.

Didn't that kid Luke saved just get his hair cut in the previous episode? I know barbershop culture is a big deal for black men, but there are limits.
Or maybe his mom has got such a jonesing for Luke that she makes her son get a haircut every other day as a pretext for dropping in?

Stick around. You might enjoy the back half of the series. It's like a completely different show!

Either that, or the wise older guy turns out to be the evil mastermind.

You can get away with 13/22 episodes if your show is a mix of serialized saga and episodic stories. Marvel-Netflix shows are straight up miniseries. Commercial-free and released in batches for binge watching, they are effectively 13-hour movies. All of them would have worked better in tight 6-10 episode seasons.

Mexican wrestlers make it work.

So why exactly is he "for hire"?

Establishing Cottonmouth as some minor gangster would have undermined the power and shock of subsequent plot twists.

Showtime runs all of its series into the ground. It's unfair to blame the guy just because he was the one who last turned off the lights.

Matt sure as hell noticed.

Worse than fraternal conflict/Cain and Abel tropes?

I always liked Noel better than Ben.

The police captain seems to be single. Happy?
