Be even more honest — if you're part of the PTC, you are enraged that parental controls only work in your own home and don't give you veto power over everyone else's viewing choices.

Right. I'm in favor of a la carte cable, but this is not the reason to support it.

Time travel storytelling is fraught with complexity, and given the limited episode time and the other priorities they had (a tip of the cap to DC WWII comics and to Steve Trevor) I think the writers went with a very conventional resolution—stop the bad guy and History reasserts itself. Put duct tape on the anomaly,…

We interpret "The Savage Time" differently. They did just enough to restore their timeline, they didn't try to prevent Vandal Savage from going back in the first place or otherwise optimize their intervention. They did the minimum that was needed. To me, that denotes caution rather than casualness.

Yes, IIRC in the comics there was some Saturn Girl style memory manipulation to protect the timeline(*), so you could bop back and forth in the carefree manner that teenage superheroes are prone to. Time travel in DCAU was always a little more dangerous than the have-your-cake-and-eat-it-too Silver Age, so I can sort…

Which is reasoning that makes total sense, because rerurns and DVDs don't exist.

I liked that one, the one big mistake in it was hanging Supergirl's decision to stay in the future on having a crush, as opposed to say, wanting to live in the MF-ing future.

"Intelligent insights, polite disagreements" on A.V. Club, it's the twist no one was expecting. Twilight Zone does it again.

Professional caliber film photography can get amazing resolution, especially in B&W.

When I saw it, this scene was a real crowd-pleaser too.

But, as "Nothing in the Dark" teaches us, that can only get you so far.

Spoilers for a twenty-five year old Broadway musical.

1939, according to Wikipedia.

Fun fact, all pet Syrian hamsters are descended from a single pair. (That's the most popular pet breed).

I'm looking forward to his next biopic: Walking and Talking: The Aaron Sorkin Story starring Brad Pitt as the humble but lovable genius who saved America from itself.

Hey, Rod Serling never got that response. OK, technically, for "Cavender is Coming", he did.

That brief experiment with an all ventriloquist Sunday lineup was bold but not successful. ("Ventriloquist with Children" and "The Ventriloquist Files" were the others, IIRC).

Too bad it wasn't a backdoor pilot about a ventroliquist dummy that travels the country ruining people's lives and turning them to crime. The season finale cliffhanger: trying to convince the President to push the button.

That Zach Galifianakis cloning project has a lot to answer for.
