A part of me is hoping that if this works out and the Darkwing Duck appearance proves popular, we might get something with the Rescue Rangers. They seem okay with the idea of bringing up other related properties. Darkwing Duck had a few offhand mentions of them so it seems possible it could exist in the same world.

What does this mean for the Marvel shows being produced for Netflix, I wonder.

They sell some ad space now to some companies (especially during blocks of programming for toddlers), but more than that, the Disney Channel is one giant ad for all of their properties which includes Marvel and Star Wars as well as the parks. In that way, I'd argue it's more of a branding exercise — get kids to love…

I don't think this is the first episode with no portal gun. Tiny Rick didn't use one that I recall and I don't think the Total Rickall episode with the parasite used one (or if it did it was a very distant plot point).

But Jon also shouldn't be king so it doesn't seem fully outlandish to think that Jon might be calling himself Stark. If I knew that every conceivable Lady Stark was dead or not at Winterfell (since she has no reason to think Sansa is there), I would be like 'Which Lady Stark?" and assume they were lying or it was an…

I think "which Lady Stark" wasn't Arya thinking that her mother was alive, but actually wondering who could possibly be lady Stark knowing everyone was dead. Maybe she was wondering if Jon was married or some such. As far as she knew, only Jon was at Winterfell and safe.

The show had been in production for a few years before he signed on and did have a following from the off Broadway runs ,but I think they also burned through those folks quickly. They needed more exposure at the Tonys with some meaningful wins, I think, to overcome Josh Groban leaving.

I saw it in January and it was fantastic! But I don't think I would have bought tickets if Josh Groban hadn't been in it. It is a much better show than just a big name, but most people don't know that.

I'm saying don't make a period piece. I'm saying make a show set in 2017 where the Union and the Confederacy never reunited and examine all of the implications - yes, the racial ones, but also the global ones, the political ones, the economic ones. I'm disagreeing with the author's assertion that the only way to look…

I'm not disagreeing that slavery is integral to 19th century Confederate society. I'm saying that the contention here is that slavery would have been abolished within 20 years anyway. My point was that there is a potential for a narrative where slavery is still abolished and the confederacy winning still has a…

Would Confederate solely be about slavery? I feel like there's a story there that looks at the larger implications of the country splitting in two and potentially not reunifying. Lincoln doesn't get assassinated. Kennedy doesn't get assassinated. Civil Rights Movement arguably doesn't happen or happens differently…

I have to admit that "Let's Do It for Our Country" doesn't make me as uncomfortable as some of the lines in Grease. He's trying to seduce her under false pretenses, but she's pretty oblivious to that and the overall sequence feels less rape-y than parts of Grease.

I do agree, but also think David Lynch /would/ do that.

That doesn't necessarily mean she needs to be in a lot of episodes. If Richard is her child and he plays significantly into the narrative that would be Audrey having a big impact on the story without being seen. My theory (and it's just a theory, not based on spoilers) is that she's still in a coma and until Coop…

I'm not convinced Audrey isn't still in a coma. If Evil Cooper raped her while she was comatose, it's possible she had a child without ever waking up. There are instances where that happens in reality. Add the weirdness and reality defying aspects of Twin Peaks and Audrey going full term while in a coma only to give…

I am generally pro-Sansa and I think she's grown a lot. I'd like to think that the show was trying to illustrate that she hasn't grown as much as she'd like to think she was which could be interesting to see play out, but I don't really want to see her fall into Littlefinger's trap. I want her to be better than that…

Pilou Asbæk's accent as Euron. He has a distinctly different accent from everyone else's. This was also true of season 1 Jamie.

It annoys me that the show treats English and Dutch accents as if they're the same. That aside, I have to say that I found it surprising that Sansa would suggest they give the castles away. While I get her reasoning isn't that precisely what the Lannisters did in giving Winterfell to the Ramseys? Also, I'm…

Frankly. I watched Heroes, but wouldn't have known this was specifically about Thomas Dekker (or who that is) without the actor making a statement about it.

I agree, but would like to know what the two issues were that were discussed. I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, but someone I work with could get fired tomorrow and claim they've done nothing wrong. His word isn't proof that there wasn't more going on. I'd like to hear more from Disney about why this…
