I think it was a stealth pilot about an appliance repairman who dispenses poetic justice to the insufferable by way of surreal upgrades.

It's the human's own fault, for being such salty bags of bloodborne lifeyness. How can any self-respecting immortal predator resist?

Since Outer Limits had some sort of creature effect in almost every episode, I do wonder if color would have made their lives significantly more difficult. But, as you say, that wasn't really a big factor.

It may seem genteel, but all we have to do is falsely convict and then execute an innocent member of a hated minority (a hipster, or a brony perhaps) and the darkness will descend.

On the way home, having taken her older self's warning to heart, she encounters an old, disheveled Bob the banker on his way to warn his younger self not to make a big mistake…

One of the best aspects of the TNG finale is the way it retroactively makes the pilot better,

Yeah, I could have phrased that better. I didn't mean to imply that you were taking such an extreme position, but you innocently brought other remarks of that sort to mind. Sorry.

How is that not better. I've never understood the idea that any work of fiction must end at the moment of peak action. If the denouement disappoints, that's not an argument against denouments, it's an argument that this particular one should have been better.

I don't know, I think The Scouring of The Shire is a very crucial part of the LOTR. The big hero returns to his home country to find it trashed, and retires to obscurity punctuated by moments of mental and physical anguish.

Not to mention that no cheap plastic filter protects your eyes well enough anyway. So, that was a nice piece of misinformation for the show to provide.

"ostensibly to help him" This is my biggest problem with the episode. She doesn't drop the bombshell about Aeryn's pregnancy until Aeryn's gone. It's implied that Moya could have chased down Aeryn except for the season ending wormhole, but that wasn't guaranteed. I should think John would have appreciated getting that…

I did like that Agnes' display was based on the most advanced 1960's era game show technology. Truly, her love was in Jeopardy!

Perhaps, being aliens, they were a little unsure as to which species is actually in charge down here, and didn't want to take any chances. No doubt a few strategically placed herds of Black Leather Jacket clad sheep (all male of course) were also part of the invasion force.

It puts a nice edge in the Bruce Wayne/Commisioner Barbara Gordon relationship. BB needs something like that.

I realize you are making only a whimsical connection to Helix.

It depends on what you mean by a clone. Technically, I believe the Henrietta Lacks tumor has been cloned many many times.

Everything we know about the creator's intent (including his own statements) is that the ending was deliberately ambiguous. So claiming that there is an obvious answer that should be clear to everyone does seem to be in opposition to the creator's intent.

Along with that, stronger prescriptions make the eyes look smaller. Since most TV&movie glasses are not corrective (and maybe don't even have glass in them), this effect is not usually apparent there.

Are the tattoos in those competition shows actual, permanent tattos?

Canada appreciates your standing guard for the True North strong and free.
