They missed the .comshot.

I've read the first series on the Marvel Unlimited app and have been meaning to get back into it but for whatever reason it keeps drifting away from my list of stuff to read. I liked the series well enough but I'm definitely well outside the target age range for the title. I expect it will continue to drift on and off…

It's just not a Carrie Mathison manic episode without alliteration, without allusion, without anaphora.

We did get a brief scene regarding the signatures with one of the crew saying how he couldn't get past the front gate even to ask for the signature. I agree that I would like to see a little more of what's going on in other departments and how they relate to the whole Jason vs. Effie narrative that we're all trapped…

Is there some reason we can't talk about personality failings and the actual making of the film?

On the other hand, it's refreshing in its way that in comparing a show from the 1970s to one from the 2000s there's an AVC writer who has actually seen the one from the 1970s.

At the risk of admitting to far more knowledge of Scorpion than a hip, happening A.V. Club member should admit to, Super Fun Guy is the name of an in-universe comic book character with whom Scorpion team member Sylvester has been obsessed since childhood. He has all the comics and at least one action figure.

He gets paid either way and unless he had a speaking part he wouldn't have been credited anyway.

I don't know how Effie's role intersects with the casting of extras but given the way she was whitemansplained in the first episode that her diversity concerns would be addressed in casting I don't blame her for being exasperated that the only non-white face in front of the camera was on the help.

A listing of the pantheon of talking dog actors and no mention of Chevy Chase in Oh Heavenly Dog? Poor showing, A.V. Club.

Candis Cayne played Carmelita on Dirty Sexy Money in 2007. She appeared in 11 of 23 episodes but the series was cut short by the writers' strike so it's unclear how much she would have been involved had the series continued.

Unfortunately since the series only ran 13 weeks it's inevitably cast as a "footnote" and not as anything groundbreaking. I've researched ATG in the past and even sources focusing on LGBT representation in media pay very little attention to it. This interview actually qualifies as one of the most substantive…

Not to excuse societal racism in the early 20th Century but is Gallinger really any more racist than the average white person in the early 20th Century? I don't recall that he ever disparages Algy's abilities as a doctor but only bristles at the idea of being in an inferior position to a member of an "inferior" race.

"Barrow’s new doctor isn’t just interesting for sharing a name with Willie Mays. He’s also old. So at first Bertie is intimidated by his elder. He hesitates on the surgery, doublechecking the appropriate method."

Boring real answer: Syfy wanted a name that it could trademark. "Sci-fi" is too common a term for the channel to assert trademark over. "Syfy" is not.

In that circumstance an attorney may (but is not obligated to) release the information if she reasonably believes that a person is in danger of death. But that release can take the form of simply contacting the endangered party and informing them and would not require that Annalise turn over the recording to the…

That may get you through these videos but it's nowhere near adequate sustenance for your Doctor Who marathon!

I'm not an expert on the rules of discovery but in general the defense isn't required to turn over incriminating evidence absent a legal compulsion (a legal subpoena for instance) But if the defense attorney is aware of such evidence she can't legally or ethically argue a theory that she knows is not true. So Annalise…

Did anyone else think through most of the episode that Nia was asking for the pills so she would have a bottle full of poison with Annalise's finger prints on it?
