"Good" is for lesser mortals. Doctor Doom is GREAT!

It helps that she's not married or engaged to someone who can be grief-stricken over her death. And she's not in a position to leave a cute orphan behind either.

Depends on how you look at it. Did Friends ever have an Irishman in the cast?

It is perhaps to John Oliver's credit that if one is determined to hate his show, one has to cast Putin as an innocent victim of unfair accusations.

Even street lingo gets things wrong sometimes.

IIRC most theatre goers also found it drawn out and boring after a while. Too much of a good thing is always a risk when you are allowed to throw money at the screen the way TMP was.

The Gatling gun phasers were pretty cool too, but again, a bit Star Wars-y.

Arthur C. Clarke was fond of referencing in his stories a 10th planet (Persephone) that would be discovered in the future. They may have cribbed from that.

Typhoid Mary is the street name for the disease. It's a parallel construction to "Proud Mary" for weed, or "William & Mary" for non-Ivy league private colleges. The Jeopardy! judges are very hip to how the kids talk these days, you know. :-)

Sure. Just to be clear, by 3 having aspirations I don't mean mean to say it was all that successful in rising to those aspirations, and certainly it's a much weaker film that 1.

The only copies of 3 & 4 will reside on a space station above the Earth. In compensation to the residents of said space station, they will receive free health care.

Right, if any of them was going for art film, it was 3. Not all that successfully, IMHO, but clearly they had aspirations.

What do you do when you get sick? You go home, go to bed, sack out on the couch, or pass out in the bathroom? Maybe some people pull over in their cars and die in them on the side of the road? Most homes should have at least some human remains of some sort in them, even if bacteria, insects, and the occasional feral…

There are lots of people, most of whom would have died indoors. So, there should be a lot of skeletons and dessicated corpses around, I think.

Yes, it's a way of accounting for the association of poltergeists with homes of (troubled) teenagers while completely ignoring the obvious explanation that said teenagers are revenge pranking the shit out of the gullible adult idiots they got stuck with for family members.

Please replace "less than legal means" with "other than legal means". Implying that illegal means are somehow "lesser" than legal ones is an insult to hard-working criminals everywhere.

It's actually a rip off of The Quiet Earth, if you must call it a rip off.

You could do Gawain, Ywain, Gareth, and Tristan & Isolde movies too if you really want to go nuts with the shared universe idea.

Sigmund is to ET as Aquaman is to Superman.

It's a better than average procedural with a really good sci fi thriller plot embedded in it.
