I guess she doesn't like Snails AND Oysters then, @Deathmaster780:disqus …?

He was one of those actors who snuck up on you, and often surprised you with how good he was. Vir could have been a blah nothing role, but he made his character a moral center in a way the more obvious choices, like Lennier or John Sheridan, never quite succeeded in doing.

@disqus_766VZXnc61:disqus - yes she has, but I was referring to the Somebody at BioWare, not Rand herself.

Well, I think so too, @udjibbom:disqus ! OTOH, people get kind of grouchy when you try and insert it into every gun battle you write, because you like the "Ballet of Violence to Eighties Pop" approach.

@disqus_yYTjhs9cQH:disqus - it works by virtue of being (1) a far-future dystopia like Brave New World or 1984 (Hey, when I was a kid in the Sixties, 1984 felt really far off!); and (2) Being Short.

And yet, so many of us manage nonetheless, @SmudgyBlurs:disqus .

Somebody at BioWare was clearly an Ayn Rand fan at a formative age, even though s/he's since outgrown it.

Probably an inspiration to a couple of the writers or showrunners, so they threw it in whether it made story sense or not.

Half-hour a week, actually, with the exception of the hour-long series finale.

It's between $55 and $99 online, @Evariste - to him, that might be a bit much to justify dropping on a show that's always in reruns somewhere anyway.

They've caught it on WGN or MeTV at their grandparents' house, @Stegrelo, so they know about it the same way they know about THE MAN FROM UNCLE or the Sixties BATMAN Television series.

Nathan Rabin goes "NOooooooo…!"

Stop trying to tempt me, @Paper Tiger!

Who knew ANYTHING about Bannon was fresh, @Werewolf Jones…?

What Bannon always looked like to me is the afterbirth of a fourth-rate ripoff of a third-rate producer's impersonation of a second-rate Golan-Globus imitation of Indiana Jones. He's the kind of guy you know some woman he hit on 60 years ago told him he looked like a Man of Adventure, so he still styles himself that…

While as an adult I prefer the darker Batman to the upbeat version he played, Adam West was never less than cheerful, professional, and gave the air of somebody who enjoyed life and acting. He was the other Most Interesting Man in the World, and the world will be a lesser place without him.

@Ben Grimm - I think of it as building on the joke, myself.

Marvel Comics Presents - PINK PANTHER!

Depends on which ones you mean, @avclub-08ae6a26b7cb089ea588e94aed36bd15:disqus - Hector Alaya, Angela del Toro, and Ava Ayala are Hispanic, and all part of the same family.

Didn't they already do what over Captain America: Civil War, @disqus_NHh3UV7miF:disqus …?
