We all need Carl dead but I think he's the only one on TWD who's immortal

I assumed Negan has implemented some kind of breeding program which is both necessary if humanity is to survive but also awful in its implications for the women involved

chloe tasering that guy is my absolute favorite chloe moment.

Yes. Exactly. And that was the second nuke to go off on American soil during the series. One is traumatic and devastating enough but two? There'd be some lasting consequences to that. And that's not even accounting for all the the other attacks endured during the run of the show.

the interplay between her and Charles is what made the season so great, I think. I hated logan for how he treated her and it was so satisfying when she finally turns the tables on him.

how heroic could palmer's death be though? he's not a field agent. he's not going to go storming into a hostage situation to save the day. I think the inglorious nature of his death was kind of the point, because, yeah, he DID deserve better, but it drove a lot of the plot and story afterward.

sometimes it seemed the show would play around with that. having other characters step in (briefly, it turns out) to take up Jack's role of uber competent, results at any cost field agents. Renee Walker comes to mind. There were a couple in Live Another Day as well. But they would always go back to focusing on Jack,…

Season 5 was the first season of 24 I actually watched, and boy did I pick a good time to start watching. I think what made 5 so great was Charles Logan. I hated him even before the reveal that he was the big baddy, mostly just because of the way he treated his wife.

I always thought it was weird how they went from one large scale terror attack to another with no longstanding consequences. you'd think they'd have some lasting effect even with the time jumps from season to season that 24 sometimes played around with.

They were totally gonna kiss. Barnes should tell Lee about his condition. I mean, seriously. Why wouldn't he? Odds on Lee actually marrying falcone? Dude signed his death warrant when he proposed. And Butch is awesome. Harvey needs something to do especially now that Jim isn't a cop. It feels like we hardly ever see…

It's quite something. Barbara went from being the absolute worst character on the show to one of the best.

Madison's behavior though makes the story so far, regarding Travis and Chris make a lot more sense. Chris started acting up because he felt like an outsider in that family. Travis confronted Madison about how Madison wasn't willing to be there for Chris the way Travis was always there for Nick. Turns out, it's nothing…

My takeaway from this interview: don't have kids. they ruin everything

A lot of the songs listed in this piece are still on my playlists. Not sure what that means other than, for better or worse, my musical tastes seem to have stalled out during my peak teenage years of the mid to late 90s.

I think Uncle George may be wrong about this one. I never saw it as Sulu being closeted. I saw it as he's a professional who doesn't really discuss his personal life at work. I don't think it ever came up during the series or the movies, in the same way Scotty's furry fetish never came up (he enjoyed those tribbles…

aren't all karaoke songs covers though? I mean, isn't that the whole point of karaoke?

my first, and so far only, karaoke experience I did Thunder Road. It was at a gay bar where everyone was doing their diva songs, Brittney, Gaga, Whitney. Whoever. SO I get up, and I do Bruce and you could just feel the air getting sucked out of the room. But yeah. Bruce is in everybody's range. he basically just…

well I suppose if you have to listen to a bunch of drunken out of tune dudes singing it night after night, it feels a lot longer than it is.

regarding unella, yes. apparently it was written to be much worse than what they showed, then they realized they couldn't (or didn't want to) show it so they cut back and left it kind of vague.

I like how before the battle, Jon was all like "i don't want to be king" then lady Mormont gives her speech and everyone's all like "king in the north!" and jon's like, "well…okay if you all insist."
