The twist in "Unbreakable" isn't a twist ending, it's a twist that in another story would set up the third act. The true twist of "Unbreakable" is that the third act is a page of text.

Granted, I'm not the one who noticed the Emperor's theme in Episode 1. But I always thought it was cool that Williams did that. It very subtly hints that Our Heroes' victory is merely making it possible for Darth Sidious to take over the Republic.

Wait 'til the writer realizes that for Episode 1, John Williams not only stuck a few notes of the Imperial March into little Anakin's theme, but closed the movie with a happy children's chorus singing the Emperor's theme from ROTJ. (No joke, listen to the note progression.)

Thanks to all who wrote about this. I've read previous explanations of the Monty Hall problem, and—like Capt. Holt—I couldn't wrap my head around how one's initial 1-in-3 odds ever changed. (In fact, I spent most of the episode declaring that Holt was right.) After reading the comments here, I FINALLY get it.

When my wife and I took the WB tour, GG was in its first season and we hadn't started watching it yet. The tour guide herself excitedly talked up the show when we reached the town square of Stars Hollow. (Meanwhile, I was jazzed because it was the same town square used in "The Music Man!")

I've never understood the conventional wisdom surrounding Season 7. Amy Sherman-Palladino may have felt justified in severing ties with the CW, but it was her choice to leave, her decision not to finish her story and grace us with her precious final words. And on the way out the door she gave us April, the…

Well, here's the thing: I'm referring to what the author actually wrote, rather than the more generalized version you're defending. She didn't write "because they pretty much sucked." The quote was "those characters weren’t just sanitized—they were hollowed—which is why so few of them are even remembered." That's a…

Best reload that shotgun.

"Still, they were monsters predisposed to murder—even killing small children. Today it would be like making kids’ entertainment out of Michael Myers or the Babadook."

Was I really the only one to notice that Barry's Flashpoint police pal was played by Alex Désert, who was Barry's cohort Julio Mendez in the 1990 version of "The Flash?"

That seems fair. I do think Johnston's "Captain America" finally gets it right.

I'm not typically someone who gets up on his high horse about this sort of thing, but the inclusion of Lothar troubled me.

"The Rocketeer" confounds me. I ought to love it. Pulp adventure, nods to classic Hollywood and earnest heroism are all completely within my wheelhouse. I saw it as a twentysomething during its initial run, and again a few years ago. It didn't connect with me either time, and I truly don't understand why. (This is…

Plus, the lead actor was officially credited as playing "Doctor Who" for the first 18 seasons of the old show and the first season of the new one. There were a pair of instances of him being referred to "Doctor Who" in episode titles, and once by a character within the show. ("Doctor Who is required!") And then there…

Ah, that explains it. I read the Foundation Trilogy and loved it. I was fascinated by psychohistory, the Mule, the search for the Second Foundation, and the final revelation of "Star's End." I was so excited when Foundation's Edge hit, and…ugh. Both it and Foundation and Earth undercut the very premise of the earlier…

To be sure, there are legitimate reasons to be critical of this trailer. The laughs are weak, though Wiig gets a couple of moments. I like the time-shifting Times Square.

I was glad to see someone mention "Lady in the Lake." First thing I thought of as well, but then again, I'm old.

That's certainly an interpretation. But being Superman, he should be able to hit what he's aiming at. (He does zap the mirror with his heat vision.)

I swear that I literally went "squee!" when she dumped the bowl of nuts. I was excitedly trying to explain to my wife about the bar scene from "Superman III." Not that I haven't loved this show since the beginning, but this elevated my affection to an entirely new level.

For a second there, I was going to support this Kickstarter. And than I realized that only the very top support level ($2,000) included a ticket to the show. There's a vaguely-worded statement that they will "provide advance ticket purchasing opportunities" for supporters, which I read as "you will watch and weep as…
