The "It's Always Sunny" crassness survived the transition to network television remarkably intact. Mickey isn't QUITE as dysfunctional as Sweet Dee — putting someone like Sweet Dee in charge of children would be tragedy, not comedy — but she's just as trashy. The closing gag, in particular, definitely meets the…

At the end of this episode, I was struck by the fact that I no longer care about a single one of the characters. I've made it this far, so I'll stick it out to the end. But my emotional investment is nil at this point; just mostly horrible people doing mostly horrible things for mostly selfish reasons.

It would be interesting to see what percentage of his fans are hair band fans and what percentage are "Gilmore Girls" fans. (and what the overlap is between the two)

I was happy with stiff and uptight JSA Amaya because she represented such an improvement over Hawkgirl, but I'm really enjoying her now that the team's bad influence is starting to rub off on her and the feisty charisma that Maisie Richardson-Sellars brought to "The Originals" is starting to show through.

I loved the glimpse into this very different family's holiday tradition, with its own fault lines and sore spots but also love.

It's "Delos", not "Dellos". Drove me nuts the entire review.

Ford probably listened in to Charlotte's conversation with Theresa via the Hector bot, and deliberately reused that line to make his point.

This episode really got the show back on track for me. TVD has felt like it's been spinning its wheels for a long time now, but now that we know the stakes I find myself invested in what happens again.

The word "psychic" is derived from the Greek word psychikos, and the Greeks predate the Romans, so I wouldn't put it past them.

Actually, back then it was 74 minutes of music (just long enough for Beethoven's 9th Symphony) and 650 MiB of data!

While audio CDs have been around since the early eighties, the CD-ROM format for data storage actually wasn't standardized until 1988. So this detail is pretty much dead on.

Well, we've already met her granddaughter. So we know she has to get up to some heterosexual shenanigans at some point.

Given how little the show cares about its ramifications on history in general, I doubt they'll even address it.

I kind of hope that they don't settle on Frankie being a transgender boy. In a way it feels too pat and conclusive; the gender nonconformity that's been delicately threaded throughout the season felt very real to me, reminded me of people in my life that identify as female but dress in a way that would be considered…

Also James Buchanan came very close to allowing the country to irreparably crumble.

Additional thing I didn't love: Eve Teschmacher doing all of "Mike's" work, giving him her credit card to go wild with, and then risking her job by having sex with him in the office during office hours. The whole fawning girl meeting a Beatle thing felt very regressive.

The first season did a great job of having all of its various storylines flow out of Kara/Supergirl so that the titular character was always at the center of the show.

They really need to break Damon out of siren lackey mode sooner rather than later.

This was the first episode they filmed after the pilot, and it showed. The editing was rougher, and the show hadn't quite nailed down its voice yet. But there was still a lot to like.

This episode sort of exposed the limitations of the show's format, because the best you're going to get with any historical setting is a broadly-drawn pastiche.
