Caitlin Doughty's "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" is also a great book about the death industry and how far we've pushed the realities of death away from our modern death rituals.: http://www.amazon.com/Smoke-Gets-You…

Jury duty is boring.

You are so fucking annoying. Shut the fuck up. Why are you proud of yourself for having basic dietary knowledge????

Before Buffy, there were certain rules TV obeyed when it came to genre television: sci-fi/fantasy shows are a niche genre which can never appeal to mainstream viewers. Action shows must be either completely serious or total parodic farces. You can either have episodic storytelling or full-on soap opera serialization.…

When I heard "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" was being turned into a TV show I couldn't have been more disinterested. I hated the movie. Part way through the first season my boyfriend convinced me to watch it, and I was hooked. In addition to having incredibly witty dialogue, the show had found an incredibly fresh way to…

I thought it was Buffy the Vampire Slayer that did that, but Supernatural made me want to go research all of the myths and legends that surround our various cultures. I give props to the writers for having the Winchesters put as much work they do fighting monsters into hitting the books.

The show that helped create an entirely new network, moved to another new network, and now those networks merged and we have all the teenage vampire insanity we could ever want.

Love them or hate them, the Simpsons definitely changed how people perceived cartoons.

So April 23 is the perfect date?

Strange is just about the only popular Marvel character who is middle-aged (well, Reed Richards is a bit older than the average, but Disney can't put him in a movie.) Seems like a missed opportunity to cast someone older who might bring a different vibe to the film than the usual superhero origin story.

I DONT TRUST HER.

we don't know about Cisco! Maybe he has deep dark secrets. ... hahaha jk.

Ollie actually called Roy "Speedy" to remind him of Thea to calm him down after he was dosed with mirakuru. I think he may of done it more than once, but I only distinctly remember the first one.

See, my takeaway about the torture stuff was that it highlighted how brainwashed both Oliver and Lyla have been by this awful version of Waller. That's terrifying and I think it was supposed to be. Waller didn't give a shit about that bomb in Hong Kong. She wanted to break Oliver in a way that is 100% in keeping with…

Are you kidding me? This episode was awesome. Plot-holes galore, but as Rob Bricken said yesterday: who cares?

Felicity's answer to the question of what the Salmon Ladder was, was also pretty funny.

"Well, I'm sorry I'm not as emotionally healthy as you."

You forgot the best line!

Wow you're the first to not like this. This Arrow was awesome and I loved the crossover. I thought it was fresh and fun and leads in to a great mid season finale for Arrow next week. I don't get why you think this wasn't good. It showed Ollie growing as a super hero from a vigilante who used to kill. The show…
