It's weird, but there is a whole cadre of actors who will always be Deadwood to me. Titus Welliver is Silas Adams. Blake who?

I don't know why the switch from the usual WWIl, but we're in the 100th anniversary years of the Great War, and if the film intrigues one young person to learn more about that rend in the fabric of history that was so horrific it culturally cut humanity off from all that had come before, then I say that's good.

All of the good legal points/questions here make me wonder if the Sarah Treem & co. had a legal advisor for the show. When she knew that so much of her creative vision was going to have such legal implications, you would think she would have run everything by a lawyers, both prosecution and defense, to make sure it…

Yes, I agree. I think somehow the whole narrative is Kevin's consciousness. One example, season 1. In flashbacks we learn that he's pretending to try to quit smoking, but he really doesn't want to. Then after the "Sudden Departure," the Guilty Remnants are a cult of chain smokers. I wonder if there will be a reveal…

The Allegri Miserere should be banned for the next 50 years.

I enjoyed the season and finale immensely. But put me in the confused camp. So exactly what/who is Vanessa? What has possessed her? I hope the beginning of season 3 explicates this clearly. Was it the Egyptian demon that she let possess her? Why would that demon have power over Satan, the greatest of all demons? …

I liked it. But what stunned me was the musical choice of Jacques Brel singing the English adaptation of "Ne me quitte pas" known as "If You Go Away" with lyrics by Rod McKuen over the "what's Elliot going to do" sequence. Wow. You don't get that everyday in network TV.

Great interview. (There's a typo in your 3rd q in The Avengers section: it says "Steel" instead of "Steed.")

The finale was great. But the board game
tag Blew. My. Mind. I grew up in the heyday of the TV board game: Land
of the Giants. The Time Tunnel. Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. Harmon
nailed everything about them, AND brought in the Tommy Westphall
universe. This cannot be topped. No season 7. For pictures of my
TV-in…

How did you miss Burn Notice? It explains the whole premise after "My name is Michael Westen, I used to be a spy." And Remington Steele, which also had a lot to set up.

No nod to having an Agent CALDERON in an episode with Lt. Castillo? (Slightly different spelling but pronounced the same.) Has Miami Vice slipped that far from pop culture consciousness?

The film has a free-for-all, kitchen-sink spirit: there are so many
literary references and cinematic quotes that it can be catnip to a
certain breed of filmgoer. It did not sweep me off my feet, but it did
lead me to Chagall, Woody Allen, Gump, Jack Donaghy, et alii, so there's
that. http://mapeel.blogspot.com/…

Burn Notice. A greatly under-appreciated show.

Shipping Alicia & FInn? Clearing he is setting her up. When she is pulled over by the cop for a DUI, it is right after she leaves him in the bar. When she goes to the soup kitchen in her suit, it's because Finn encouraged her, and then saw the opportunity to snap the picture.

I agree it's getting better. The most fun was to see Burn Notice's fav 2nd biggest heroine dealer Carmelo—Todd Stashwick—in the Gotham-verse with Fiona's prison mate Ayn, Capt Zabryna Guevara.

Was Missy supposed to remind us of Mary Poppins with that outfit? I expected to hear a sample of "Feed the Birds" outside of St. Paul's.

Small point. Writers have to dial back how many times John says "mate." It was way o.t.t.

Alison: "I have to get a sitter." Hmm.

Brought up before, but too funny for Dominic West & John Doman to share scenes.

"Out Where the Buses Don't Run," October 1985, is in my top five finest hours of TV ever. It's the first time Dire Straits "Brothers in Arms" (May 1985) is used as a stunning soundtrack to a a striking visual, 16 years before the celebrated West Wing "Two Cathedrals." And the episode starts with Baba O'Riley…
