I am Bat Man.

Strider, Texas Ranger

I completely missed the newswire about this on Friday and until scrolling down here, was under the impression that the AVC hadn’t even covered The Expanse’s cancellation. I guess that I feel better now, knowing that it wasn’t ignored.

I’d love for it to be available via subscription, but I’ve been buying season passes on Amazon because I can’t wait to watch. And it’s worth it for The Expanse. I don’t bother with live/up-to-date shows too often anymore, but I don’t mind spending money on this one.

I’m wondering what Syfy’s incentive was to pick up the show in the first place. I guess that if it had become a ratings monster, all would be well.

I like BSG but I think that The Expanse has grown to be just as good, or near to, and seems a lot more even and built for a long run that doesn’t disappoint.

This is good news. The show definitely has the Netflix padding problem, but the ending of the first season suggests that a lot may be, or at least could be, changing as far as the storytelling format.

Without going into spoilers, from the looks of the end of S1 the Jack London complex is no longer a danger.

Yes...?

I do think that she’s the best Lois I’ve seen, but I’d say that some of the others have felt like their own people. Erica Durance had some good energy on Smallville, and Amy Adams’ version in Man of Steel (if not the other films) is a decent character on her own. Of course she quickly becomes fascinated with Superman…

I’ve taken to browsing these reviews without having watched the episode, and that Gardner bit on Weekend Update is pretty great. Not being a heavy viewer, I haven’t seen much from Heidi, but she really does get all the way into that character.

Somehow this one doesn’t roll my eyes like Jacob. Maybe it’s that this girl doesn’t repeat the same catchphrase ad nauseam, or at least didn’t in this sketch.

I really liked this bit, it did play like a fully realized character in a way that I enjoyed, but in any case I don’t think that whether or not teens watch SNL is the point. It’s older people *raises hand* laughing at stereotypical teenisms.

I just came across this - how in the living daylights can it not yet have merited a newswire here?

I’ve never watched any of these movies, but changing ‘Peeta’ to ‘Peter’ is kinda funny. The Hunger Games characters all seem to have slightly off-kilter names and the notion that they can be parodied by replacing them with extremely pedestrian monikers, that amuses me a bit.

The episode title in the first paragraph seems to be just slightly (though understandably) off. I clicked really expecting a Flash-Bigfoot or at least Flash-Lithgow encounter.

Yeah. I was thinking maybe a Wanted poster on a wall with his face on it, but your idea makes more sense.

At some point, everything is fan-service. I’d say that Star Wars is pretty much there already. But ‘fan-service’ need not be a pejorative label.

Because the Falcon is relevant to Han Solo but 3PO isn’t, I’d say that’s why not.

G&R’s Appetite for Destruction. It has all the hallmarks of classic arena rock—costumed, long-haired white guys cranking out loud guitar rock in huge venues
