You know what would have really helped the sequels? Bringing Cypher back. He was the best part of the first one. Sure, he appeared to die there, but that lightning gun apparently killed Tank, and then it didn't (and then it turns ou, it did). Anyway, say the humans decide at the end of Reloaded that they need to form

"iTunes still exists" is the most generous comment made about that program in the last year.

There are a few other things about the finale that don't make sense (Everyone just gave up technology without a fight? And they didn't all die the first winter?), but it has an epic space battle, and that shot where Lee tries to say something to Starbuck, but she's already gone. Almost makes me feel sorry for that

They're actually criticizing homophobia. But that isn't clear unless you know the context.

It was Fray, not Buffy. Get it right.

Brothers in Arms is a fantastic album start to finish. Sure, "Money for Nothing" gets all the attention, but the B side is far more meaningful. It was all about the Sandinistas or something.

You mean at the end of Season 3, where everything's radioactive, and Adama gazes upon it all, and says, "Earth"? There was actually a chance the series might have ended then, and that was meant as a possible finale. Man, that would have been bleak as hell.

Minority Report works better if you just think of everything after Anderton's imprisonment as a dream he's having. Like Brazil.

One of the advantages of living in maybe the reddest state in the country is that I really don't have any hesitation in voting my preference (Jill Stein). If Hillary Clinton is even close to carrying this state, the election will be such a blow-out that it won't matter. I'll vote for Democrats for the Senate and House

It's not like that came out of nowhere. Baltar's "Head Six" straight up told him she was an angel a couple seasons before that. My problem with the finale is the very end, where they're in the present. They take this whole dark, moving series, with all of its powerful themes, and boil it down to "be nice to robots."

Heck, just end it in the middle of Season 2. Resurrection Ship destroyed, Cain dead, Adama gets a promotion. Get out before "Black Market" sullies the whole thing.

I could have done without most of Betty's story after season 3, but that would have meant less of Kiernan Shipka, who was kind of great.

I don't do that, but I honestly have a hard time remembering that the fourth Indiana Jones movie exists. I'll refer to it as a trilogy, and then someone will remind me, and I get real sad for a moment.

Not to mention The Wolf. Or "dead n***** storage."

And it should go without saying that the only true Runaways is Brian K. Vaughan Runaways. Sorry, Joss. Don't even look at me, Terry Moore.

As much as I love James Robinson's '90s Starman, that series ends at issue #45 when Jack goes into space (this is also when Tony Harris left the series, which, along with the ridiculous, interminable space plot, had a lot to do with the decline in quality). His ship, which was built by a nineteenth-century lunatic,

Bummer. I was looking forward to seeing Ned Stark wake up in bed next to Suzanne Pleshette.

Maybe my favorite thing about Lost was the somewhat reasonable explanation they came up with for the polar bears. They gave it to us a piece at a time over a few seasons, but it eventually made a kind of sense. First time I saw a polar bear on that island, I didn't think that would ever happen.

Hello Cinemark, my former employer. Got to say, it wasn't a terrible high school job. Lots of free popcorn, sodas, and movies. Flexible hours. Back then it wasn't a giant evil corporation, but a somewhat less giant, morally ambiguous proprietorship. It was pretty laid back. Like, a whole crate of Milk Duds could go

Maybe he can take over the audio books. Beats listening to Roy Dotrice do the same five or six voices for everyone (although he has one voice that he uses exclusively for Melisandre, which is pretty cool).
