Season 1 West Wing character, disappeared by season 2 and never mentioned again. Thus, characters that writers completely drop without explanation are "in Mandyville".

Good to know that between Kara and the 1978 Lois Lane, one thing we know about female journalists is that they can't spell.

Maybe that's the logo; the show was just "Too Something".

Since there are no men in elementary schools, or indeed in the entire school system, women kindergarten teachers can't be harassed by them. It checks out.

Oh, I bet I know!

Given that Dan Fogelman is creator of both this and This is Us, I propose that we refer to revelations such as the Ginny's past discovery of her mom with that guy as "getting Foglemanned". Note that the archetypal form here is not a plot twist, a thing that happens, but rather the discovery that the show's been…

I thought of that too. One thing is that they have to come up with different names each time, since they keep accidentally ending up in history books.

This is a periodic (ha) reminder that Eureka used timeline changes as a way to blow up and adjust their setting, more than once.

To "Cougar Town", I presume.

You know? You know? You know? Know what I mean, nudge nudge?

Seems like having super lifelike robots that also allow flies to walk on their damn eyeballs without even noticing would break the illusion just a tad, but I'm no imagineer.

It sounds like it may well also have the Dollhouse thematic structure?

So does she get raped a lot by bandits, even if there are no guests around, just in case someone shows up to join the scenario?

What did they expect, though? Isn't it one of the points of the guest experience to be a hero (if you're not a black hat or just fucking whorebots)? And wouldn't anyone on the hero track be shooting that guy around then?

To me, he was one of the later station captains in NYPD Blue.

Not having seen any of the format this based on, but willing to bullshit: because the show is presented as the recollections of the "normal people", and Cricket isn't that.

I like how they costumed him in a suit just a little bit too small — his head seems especially big for it — so that it makes perfect sense when he turns out to be super-tough.

His name, God help us, is "Blip".

Possibly true, but for mobile, the actual Xfinity Tv Go app works fine for me, including allowing the downloading of Starz content, which is sort of amazing. If you need a Starz Smart TV app or something like that, that doesn't help you, though.

It's about us, and our this-ness.
