Feeding him to a komodo Dragon was more honorable.

They could have just dropped the character entirely.

How do you define major character?

True. But recently "gay" has also been used as a synonym for annoying and uncool (This school assembly is sooo gay.). So I can see how "herb" might have carried along.

Doing what?

There was a Sindbad series about three or four years ago. I want to say Starz…Or BBC America.

Never judge a sitcom on its premise. 9 times out of 10, it is just there to get the ball rolling until the characters develop their chemistry.

Not all of them. But the occasional one makes for a fun change of pace.

Three scenes might be too obvious foreshadowing for the audience.
But if the just had one scene…maybe of the two of them stealing the car as teenagers as a flashback in the episode where Pop is trying to get Luke to intercede for Chico…then it would look at first like just a motivation for Luke to identify with Chico,…

If you are watching the show in the first place, you presumably must be interested in Luke. Why wouldn't that extend to an interest in his childhood and family background?

Mariah has a couple of malevolent moments coming up.

Wait until next season when he gets into a mob war between Hammerhead, Mr. Negative, and the Mad Matador!

Cottonmouth was great. But I don't think I could have taken another six episodes of him and Mariah arguing about whose job was more important to Harlem. The dude's journey came to a fitting end at the right time.

Big deal. The only fast food I eat is the chicken & rice from the Halal cart down the block. I don't even want to think about what those guys are funding. But it's none of my business. I get their chicken…they get my money. That's the way it works.

If Aida is designed entirely by Radcliffe and Fitz, why doesn't she have a Scots accent?

Actually I think the cougar gets a bad rap. The worst 24 storylines were always those dreary plots designed to keep the president occupied for the first few episodes before he got drawn into the terrorist plot each season. Like Palmer 's new girlfriend and her blackmailing ex-husband? That time-waster dragged on for 6…

When is he coming to Supergirl on the CW? Aren't they canon comics love interests?

The characters were all pretty flawed. So was King Lear.

All of Whedon's shows take their time to get rolling. You have to worldbuild the Dollhouse and show the different ways it works before deconstucting it in episode 6.

I wish they invested more in the writing talent.
