I spent last night trying to figure out (a) who played Twisty and (b) whether John Carroll Lynch and David Koechner were different people.

When the best part of the pilot is the fact that Ice-T does the "filmed live before a studieo audience", you know a show is terrible.

Maybe it was his last day before retirement

As I was watching the show I said "you don't hire Corey Stoll only to kill him in the first episode".
I stand corrected, unless this is some kind of double-secret-deep-cover bullshit where he turns up alive in episode 6.

Can someone let me know how this all ties into the Tommy Westphall multiverse?

Covers?

I like to imagine that Bruce was spoiling the fourth season finale of Breaking Bad

I know you were asking for songs of Leonard Cohen recordings, but I'll throw in a plug for three great albums of covers:
- Famous Blue Raincoat by Jennifer Warnes
- Tower of Song (I could listen to Billy Joel sing Light as the Breeze all day)
- I'm your Fan (with the great John Cale version of Hallelujah)

"Sam Jackson in that movie where all the white people were shot"
Goodfellas?

Which was perfect casting for the plot of that movie

He marched on Washington … in the mid-1980s

One's a sick duck and I can't remember how it ends, but your mother's a whore

I think most U2 fans about this time would have preferred it if they had kept making new versions of Pride and With or Without You and Bad over and over again. The sort of curse that follows epic success.

Pouring like an avalanche coming down the mountain

Background: I'm seriously old.
I remember watching these episodes and when they brought out Richard Hatch as Tom Zarek, my first thought was that they had already run out of ideas and were banking on the nostalgia of those of us old enough to remember Lorne Greene and John Colicos.
Thankfully they did not go in that…

Weird Al nailed this one perfectly.

He's not dead or alive. Let's call him Schrodinger's gangster.

What do you hear?Nothing but the rain.

Of all the Cancon darlings in that show, old Doc Roberts from Danger Bay was the best!
