Back in the golden years of Star Trek: The Next Generation, fans would submit ideas all the time and some, like Ronald Moore, were hired onto the writing staff.

Or maybe that's part of the joke: the entire cast and crew knows Spanish yet not one of them thought to correct the title of the show. Just like how the lead actress doesn't know Spanish and the head of the Hispanic network is a white guy.

I liked when Joe was naming the escaped criminals: "Jesse, Martin, and Snart". He could have said them in any order, but the writers put them in order of the actor's name: Jesse Martin.
It's a little joke, I guess.

Here's my advice to non-comic fans who don't know who the Martian Manhunter is: go watch the Justice League (and Justice League Unlimited) cartoons on Netflix. Be sure to watch the episode "Comfort and Joy" where Clark Kent brings this green Martian home to meet Ma and Pa Kent for Christmas.

I thought the ending was very anti-climatic. We get a build-up of all the Dark Ones who ever lived, then coming through town, then marking everyone… and then all the Dark Ones are sucked into Excalibur, and all done.
Okay, sure, Hook dies and sets off next season's quest, but why not kill some other characters at the

I just have to ask: what kind of security (or lack of) do they have at STAR Labs? Sure, there are some "no trespassing" signs out front, but it seems like anyone can just walk in, from Barry's dad to Patti. Shouldn't someone in the control room buzz them in or something?
Heck, my office has better security and I don't

A few points:

At the risk of sounding racist, it's a little hard for Hollywood producers to find actors of Middle Eastern descent since they've all got jobs playing terrorists in action movies. I mean, those are the only roles Middle Eastern actors can play, right? It's not like they can take on leading roles when there are so many

There's also a nod to the opening monologue of "Under the Lake" regarding a time paradox: when the Doctor goes through the castle the first time, jumps out the window, and then goes to the fireplace, how did his clothes get there? If we assume the previous version left them for the next version, where did the first

I don't know if anyone's mentioned this, but looking at the covers for the Star Wars Blu-Rays, I'm struck by 1 thing: 5 out of the 6 movies have a villain on the cover. Why is a stormtrooper on "The Empire Strikes Back" instead of Vader? Where's Luke, Leia, and Han?

I think one of the main problems with the prequels was the tone.
On the one hand, Lucas keeps saying "Star Wars" is for kids, with all the action and slapstick characters (Jar Jar in "The Phantom Menace", C-3PO in "Attack of the Clones").
But on the other hand, the movies deal with a lot of adult themes, such as loss,

My wife and I watched the first two episodes. She wants those 2 hours back. :)

I agree. I can't tell you how many of my Facebook "friends" share uninformed and ignorant stories simply because of some kind of "this is how need to get back at them".

But "they used magic" brings up the point of how far can Zelena (and other magic users) teleport? She took Arthur from Camelot to Dunbrach instantly. One the one hand, these could be faraway realms or they could be as close as modern-day England and Scotland.

I hated this episode. I hate "shakey-cam" and "point of view cam" in general. I also hated how the camera kept switching views, from black and white to static-like, then a regular shot. And it just felt "off" to see the characters in the exact center of screen, look directly into the camera, and then say their lines.

Why doesn't Cat recognize Kara is Supergirl?

So, going by an average of $160 per screen, that means:
At $10 per ticket, only 16 people were in each theater.
At $15 per ticket, only 10.67 people were in each theater. (And I can imagine something is wrong with these people if they paid $15 to see this movie.)

So why exactly did Diane call Monica back into to the office to tell her personally that she wasn't hired? Like Monica said, isn't that what rejection form-letters are for? It seemed like Diane was almost twisting a knife over why Monica wasn't hired: basically because the more-qualified applications were white men.

I think Capaldi is coming off as a great actor because of the combination of: a good actor, a good actor who enjoys the role (unlike Eccelston), and a good actor who sees the part as the pinnacle of his career, rather than a stepping-stone to something more (unlike Tennant and Smith).
