I'm finding Jost is getting a little better, but as he does so, he's slowly doing more of a Seth Meyers impression. I'm not sure if that cadence and timing is needed for Weekend Update and that explains it, or if he just hasn't been able to get his own take, and is mimicking one that worked.

It can be done, but if you listen to The Bugle Podcast or watch Last Week Tonight, you see that there is a different direction from Oliver… one that isn't obvious while using Stewart's writing staff, but once he has to pick new writers, you see it much more.
What I'm mainly saying is that there is a chance to do the…

If you don't like Kevin Smith movies, then don't watch them. Pure and simple. Come here and moan about how bad they are and he's just adding to the awful body of work, but that means nothing. That said, I'm interested to see what he does with it. On his Hollywood Babble-On podcast, he talked about what made him decide…

Nope. Now, I love Tina Fey, and loved "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" on Netflix. But I think The Daily Show needs a new direction, as much as I loved and pretty much daily posted a clip from TDS.
Craig Kilborn started the thing, and I liked it fine - his snarky humor was more palatable to me when I was in my early 20s…

I'm not encyclopedic in the comics, but if I recall, Thawne was "Professor Zoom", the reverse Flash, from the future, like 25th century. And he has a view that the Flash is tied to his past, so if Flash's history changes, he won't exist in the same way. That would give a reason to protect the Flash's history, and the…

I also would have given this ep a slighly higher rating, but there is some subjectivity to it, so I'll let that lie.

I disagree, in one respect. As comedy for the audience, they are a great couple. But if you think of them as a couple you know, and especially Howard's immaturity and other issues, this is a couple with real underlying problems. It is the old "why does she put up with him", and I found the showing of cracks in that…

Always love the little moments, and I cracked up when Roy shot the rocket launcher, and there was a brief pause of pride and surprise that he had to shake off to continue shooting.

Was it just me, but when Barry caught up to Snart on the train, the line was "There's no where to go", but did he emphasize the "S" - "There's-snowhere to go"?

"Speaking of Fusco, he even gets in on the code breaking action. Is there anyone on this show who couldn’t have won the Nautilus competition?"

He's Schroedinger's Cat - he's both alive and dead until we open the box (i.e. make a sequel).

The most recent Nerdist podcast had Mitch Hurwitz, and he talked about his initial idea for Ann, which was to cast a different roughly-similarly looking actress in each episode, or even from scene-to-scene, so that the audience was like Michael in not realizing she was there at first. I think Mae Whitman (the second…

I'm not quite sure I'll be back for Season 2. It's not a bad show on its own (but not a great one, either). But on shows like this, I'm into the history behind it. I've not read the specific book that the series is based on, but after episodes, I look into the real life people it is about… and it seems pretty far…

If he's not, I'll be a bit disappointed. The last shot of him was with the eye-open death stare (same as Aiden)… that seems rather unambiguous, and it wasn't a situation where Conrad had people in the bushes ready to save him and make it look like he died. RIP.

Regarding the She-Deathstroke outfit… the part that doesn't sell me is the hockey-mask nature of the headwear, same with Slade's outfit and the army. I guess I just like the cloth balaclava headwear better. Secondly, looks like we might get Batman Returns with it, as she clearly has black around her eyes to blend in…

Peter MacNicol on Chicago Hope. Early second season, it was known that Mandy Patinkin was going to leave the show. However, the episode starts off with MacNicol's Alan Burch getting shot during a robbery at the subway station. He dies on the table with Patinkin's surgeon trying to save him; it prompts Dr. Geiger to…

Nora Ephron was married to Nicholas Pileggi, who wrote Wiseguys, the book that Goodfellas was based on and interviewed Henry Hill extensively. She was privy to the interviews, and was inspired to do a comedy. So, really both movies came from the exact same source.

With the "Thirteen" was a closeup of Pete Capaldi's hand flipping a switch and his eyes apparently in his TARDIS…. Heck of a tease… given they didn't use him elsewhere, I suppose it's not the official unveiling, but was waiting to see him with the rest of the group at the end.

Surprised no mention of our first glimpse of the next Doctor, even if it was a quick shot of his eyes and eyebrows.

I am not burdened with the notion of having to write critically about the show each week. If so, I would probably be like David and like and respect the show, but not love it. But since I only have to tune in and go along for the ride, I'm really loving this show. It is, as cliched as it may be, way better than it…
