They heard from the same guys who backed Dewey against Truman.

So what you're saying is he should be playing King James, and kid Brutus (don't remember the boy's name, don't care) should be playing Fawkes? I'd watch it.

Rejected alternate titles:
Gay Fawkes
Guy Porks
Guys Fawk
Bi Fawkes (different genre, same actors)

Oh, sorry, I thought it was better known (though of course it probably wouldn't be in countries where the police force doesn't use them). It's the extending stick police officers use to subdue suspects/violent individuals, replacing the (way) older truncheon. In most incidents involving the police in the UK an ASP is…

No direct references yet between the ABC and Netflix subsets (I've only seen the first ep of Luke Cage so far, but I'm guessing none occur). I guess it's tricky, partly because of the different showrunners involved but also because the Netflix shows seem to take place on more of a floating time-frame, so it'd be hard…

Jane the Virgin is like that for me. I've watched it through from the beginning several times, introducing various friends and family to it, and every time I wind up going 'Oh yes, and this happened in this episode. And this. And this… holy crap! We're only 20 minutes in, I thought this lasted weeks!'

…or a 28 year old?

Honestly, his business career seems to be falling apart, so I'd be very happy with him just losing the election. Then he can wallow in just how his reputation and portfolio are in tatters.

I'd fuck a dragon before Ivanka, and then back to the dragon. Then probably Angela Lansbury, and maybe Scott Bakula.

It might be referring to the delayed payoffs for Skye=Daisy, Mr Hyde, or Hive… but even then, it wasn't like it was unreasonable to have things set up in a premiere and concluded at the finale (or mid-season finale). When you consider how fast it went through the Simmons disappearance or the Lash mystery it makes most…

Hey, don't knock it, it works. Cheaper than guns, multiple uses, and much funnier police reports.

Yeah, it's stupid, but I'd still argue it's part of the 'shoot first in self defence' mentality which is only prevalent because guns are so prevalent.

Exactly. I'm in the UK, and there are special armed units for situations involving firearms, but street officers don't have them, the worst they'll have is an asp or, I believe for certain divisions, a taser. If I get stopped by a police officer in the street I can be sure there is 0% chance I will be shot (and in…

It's a point that often seems to go unmentioned. While of course there is a racial element involved, the reasoning of the police officers is usually 'we didn't know he was unarmed'. In pretty much every other civilised country in the world, that isn't an issue, because for every civilian the odds are massively in…

I thought exactly the same, she seemed like an interesting character and brought with her a new dynamic with one of the core family members.

Yeah, it's a shame they didn't skip most of the introduction and just go to 'Marge and kids become Burns' VR family so Homer finds a new, female friend', because there was some real underutilised potential to both of those, particularly the latter. I was hoping because Julia got so little to do here that it might just…

Come on, team, just make more episodes. You clearly all still love it, you're getting together anyway, I can contribute about a tenner to props and costumes, just FILM SOMETHING! I NEED IT!

I'm going to be watching this slower, will probably try to keep up with the other lot of reviews, but I just had to check out the first ep today. Good for the most part, with some great. I didn't even remember him that much from JJ (though I watched it all the way through) but when Luke came back into the story near…

Oof, this was bland, by the numbers wish-fulfillment tripe: Inexperienced 'average' man (we know he's average because we saw him with his feet up drinking a beer) gets thrown into a position of power, ignores the experienced advisers to do things his own way and is successful (well, he isn't laughed out of office).…

Good point, that wasn't a show I was aware of but yeah, that definitely takes the title (unless someone can correct that). Whether by number of seasons or number of episodes, Ozzie and Harriet beats Sunny (though Summer Wine would, I believe, still win for longest running by seasons and by time on air, though not by…
