When Julie Andrews dies, the entire Baby Boom generation will, as one, Lose Their Shit.

"Of course the real star was Ted Baxter, great newsman, stupendous voice."

Agreed, but he didn't "make" it in the same way he "made" Star Wars.

Christ, we simulposted almost word for word.

Seems kind of tacky on the part of the producers to allow the script to dump on the guy they hired last year, though.

I guess "you're going to make Star Wars and share story credit on Raiders of the Lost Ark!" would have been too complicated a line? I mean, Spielberg exists, right?

Chances that the "R" in "HR Wells" stands for "Randolph" … ?

When you've got a character muttering "Dominoes, how convenient…" you're pretty much hanging lanterns on other lanterns and should consider easing off a little.

I find it fascinating that Timeless has turned all of its main characters into murderers.

Interesting tease from LLN: "You should see how [barristas] screw up my name!"

Which is reference to Silver Age Flash, who did the same.

I still don't know why they couldn't have found a better DC character for him to "be"; he could have been Morgan Edge, for instance. Although honestly he's really doing an extreme Lou Grant thing.

Well, that makes perfect sense is is yet, as you say, a mystery.

Ah, but as the theory over the summer had it: you have to expect that his wives, as co-signers of the returns, probably have copies the ones from their years. That would be Marla Maples for the 1995 returns; she'd have access to 1993-1999, plus or minus, but nothing later.

I go with Crabbe and Goyle.

"Kate did Halleluja and everyone was in tears! This'll work, I swear!"

I just watched the original and noticed that "Kelly Ann Conway" actually fits the music better than "Roxie Hart" — there are a couple more notes in the original that don't have lyrics over them. Makes we wonder if the actual song was originally written for some other show and rescued from the trunk — Broadway…

It's what playwrights do, and they're serious.

That TZ twist is so well known that it's the bulk of the Futurama "Scary Door" parody (the one that ends with Bender's "Saw it coming!") And it STILL worked.

Now that you mention it she does have a bit of an Annette thing going on.
