Jesus. Thanks for putting the spoiler right in the GD main episode list description. I came here after watching the previous episode and was reading through the list looking for The Sin-Eater description (since, you know, you don’t include the episode title or number to make it easy) and right there, big as day,…
I’m late to the party. I’m just getting around to watching season 4. The first act of the three really reminded me of the old 1983 movie Brainstorm, at least until it went dark. :)
When Commander Sisko shaved his head and grew his goatee on DS9 I was like “Hawk is back!!” :)
And no love for Enos, spun off to the Big City, for a single 18-episode season? :D
Thanks for the link. I just made a general top-level comment about how Melrose Place wasn’t really a “spin-off” since it wasn’t really spinning off a popular character and how Jake’s appearance on 90210 wasn’t even really a “backdoor pilot” as such.
I thought Angel was a great spin-off for the first few seasons but when they went from “case of the week” format to the heavily serialized format I didn’t like it as much. Plus the behind-the-camera drama with Charisma Carpenter’s pregnancy didn’t help.
Re: Models, Inc. and Melrose Place, I always thought there should be a different term than “spin-off” to describe a stand-alone show that gets shoe-horned into a popular show for an episode or two just to justify a “connection” to lure audiences over. I mean, was Grant Snow a “breakout character” on Beverly Hills…
While “Joker as demented artist” makes so little sense and had almost nothing to do with the comics incarnation, I find myself very taken with the homicidal artist line and its follow up, “I make art until people die.”
Wasn’t there a whole plotline about the Joker contaminating personal hygiene products, or did I dream that?
I think the only time I bought multiple issues was when I bought both copies of the Spider-Man wedding issue. :)
I remember when I first heard that they cast Michael Keaton as Batman I thought he would have been a much better Joker. I loved him in Night Shift and Mr. Mom and I thought that he could have that same manic lunacy but with a darker edge that we did eventually see in Spiderman: Homecoming. But when it came out I did…
I loved when Nicholson’s Joker does a mocking impression of Jack Palance and then cracks himself up while talking to the guy he fried with the hand buzzer. “I’m glad you’re dead. Hahahahahaha...”
He also says to the symbiote that he can stay as long as he only hurts bad guys, so they seem to be going for a Dexter kinda thing.
My first thought was Tony Todd but after a couple more viewings I don’t think so now.
This...does not look good. Personally, I never understood the hate for Spider-man 3. I get that the effects may only be partially finished, but nothing about this makes me want to shell out theater money for it.
OMG. I loved Condorman. I even had the comic adaptation. My parents recently moved into a retirement home and we have been cleaning out their house. I just found the old Hot Wheels car that I had painted to look like the Condormobile. :D
