Envy, vanity, and selfishness are certainly chief among his character flaws. I think technosurfer is just pointing out that his goal, making magic into a modern respectable profession, isn't straightforwardly villainous.

I'm pretty sure Jeb's wife is Hispanic. Trump doesn't represent actual GOP strategy for 2016. I'd be willing to bet that actual candidates, not PR stunts, will studiously avoid offending Hispanics.

The intent was to disallow any potentially British double agent taking over.

Obama is about as liberal as Nixon. Certainly no more than George H. W. Bush was.

Wait, will the dead husband be that Steve guy from the show? That would actually be pretty funny.

So the Grunkle Stan the kids know is actually "Stanley" Pines? And he took on Stanford's identity to search for him?

I THOUGHT that Ted and Robin's relationship was going to be that. A relationship that was great but just didn't work out for understandable reasons, and the people involved even manage to stay good friends. That would have been just fine and already subverted genre tropes on its own.

Yeah, I don't dislike the endgame necessarily. It was just very poor executed.

Except that's a 3 and half year old game. It was released summer 2011.

Anyone else catch Creggy G and Greggy C, sans the other members of Sev'ral Timez, rifling through the garbage at the concert?

The acting in general is very strong on this show. It almost saves the powerfully pedestrian writing. The casting was top notch.

If anything, she was gullible and naive in the face of vicious sociopath. She should have executed Kuvira the moment she crowned herself.

I have a hard time believing that Kuvira has been operating concentration camps without the Air Nomads knowing about it. If they wanted to introduce that twist, they needed more hints in the early episodes. As it is, they played Opal's dislike of Kuvira as idealism or jealous. It just doesn't work.

Except Steven Fry. That will always be his best and most daring show for me. Going the Charlie Rose route with another supremely talented comic.

Hey, Mayim Bialik is a neuroscientist.

Stan's a twin! That makes a lot of sense actually, and it's thematically resonate.

I've generally found the performances in this show to be quite effect. They sell the terrible generic writing so well, I can basically tolerate it.

God, those movies were incredibly lazily directed and shot. Shot, reverse-shot, shot, reverse-shot, now a bit of walking, shot, reverse-shot. Ugh. The blocking of a soap opera.

She looks like Ellen and Reba had a test tube love child.

They are lighting Laura Spencer very weirdly. Maybe that's the glare of TV.
