Finally, a Cylon test that doesn't require Plutonium.

So, the Radio Club reviews I remember of Amos & Andy, The Shadow, and Fibber McGee and Molly probably aren't real either then? I should probably get to a doctor one of these days.

Every cylon downloaded a fix for that on a "Patch Tuesday" between seasons. It was really interfering with covert ops.

I love Manhunter, and I think it is deservedly considered a classic now,

Lauren Ash also deserves better. In fact, the whole cast does. There's a lot of really well delivered terrible lines in the pilot.

The cast is clearly much better than the script. The store is completely uninteresting because it's not based in reality, and the jokes have no real bite. Amy is careful to say that her job is a good job, just a little boring.

This show's depiction of big box retail is in fact, wildly sunny.

Well, Westerns were a thing for a long time. They're still around, but nothing like they once were. Things come and go.

Except she never pretended to be an expert at Star Wars trivia.

I wonder even how objectively entertaining it is, outside the current zombie fetish phase we're in. I'm not sure it will age well. (I admit I haven't watched this season yet.)

Right, it's not a summing up, it's an inversion of most of the key moments, including the train accident and the sweet scene with his mother getting him started on comics.

Also, it was a satire of overhyping from a corporate flack. So, having it be one of the other two would have undercut the whole idea.

It also has important metaphorical meaning, as the ultimate weapon that you cannot use, or in the case of Galadriel and possibly Gandalf, choose not to use because of it would use you right back,
