I was going to point that out about Breaking Bad. Starting a pilot in media res is not always a bad choice.

I'm really confused about when this episode is supposed to take place in relation to the 2016 scenes from the Legends of Tomorrow premiere. Here Laurel seems really confused by the idea that time-travel is possible; there she pretty calmly advises her sister to go travel through time (while making no reference to the…

It was a real gut punch, for sure. It really feels like the show is going for the romcom trope of Dev chasing Rachel to Tokyo to declare his love for her and his desire to make things work, but then… oof.

Or making some Cinnabons. That glaze takes hours to set…

Maybe that's why he was able to zoom away at the end of the episode, even though Cisco shot him with the dart that was supposed to take away speed powers?

I'll see your 50th anniversary bit and raise you a "Yours is bigger than mine" / "Let's not go there" between Rory and Eleven in Vampires of Venice.

The Doctor also traveled with Rory Williams after season 5 — when he was human again, but with the memories of a few millenia spent as an Auton. (On a side note, Rory not being particularly affected by those thousands of years standing guard over the Pandorica somewhat undercuts Ashildr's angst in this episode. But I…

Also her character is hundreds of years old by this point. Younger than Jack, yeah, but not exactly a child.

So on the one hand, I'm sure we would have heard about it if John Barrowman was coming back to the show. Night of the Doctor aside, it's pretty hard to keep that sort of news a secret.

This is how I feel about The Running Man, minus the last part of that sentence.

Fun bonus fact: the guy that came up with the concept for that episode, Brendan McCarthy, was one of the writers for Fury Road. More here: http://joeartguy.tumblr.com…

Tactically the Candyman could have grabbed that grenade and tossed it right back out!

As I recall, the uptick in quality starts pretty much at the exact moment in season 2 when the show actually starts telling a serialized story. (Around the episode "Gigabyte" I want to say, without looking it up. Could be a bit earlier or later.) That through the end of season 3 was really great, but it's really hard…

Or this? http://www.imdb.com/title/t…

It sounds like some of novelist Brandon Sanderson's magical systems, almost. I think the closest to what you're describing would be the main character in his novella The Emperor's Soul, who can rewrite her own life history to give herself different abilities at need. She has a stamp to mark on her skin that changes…

Yeah, Peyton's head wound directly parallels Sebastian's aunt's — there's no way that wasn't an intentional move to drive home that Liv's declaration that she hasn't turned on her loved ones is more than just words. She has the strength to resist her zombie urges that Sebastian apparently lacks.

Was he, though? https://www.youtube.com/wat…

They reminded me of Midnight Run too! There's a scene in that movie where Charles Grodin is handcuffed and trying futilely to get Robert De Niro to talk to him, so he finally just starts saying both their sides of the conversation. (De Niro's involves a lot of "shut the fuck up"s.) Jorah giving Tyrion the silent…

I prefer this one, although yours predates it:

Not enough cooks.
