I was always happiest when Phil Colson was on the screen. As if things would probably turn out ok. This season on Shield and on The Expanse and, in a teensy, tiny way on Fear the Walking Dead, we are getting a glimpse into the possibility of kindness - perhaps kindness mixed with practicality, but kindness all the…

And here I had the perfect ending all lined up in my head: Kirkman announces in his address to the nation that because of the many problems facing him due to the ex-Pres that he is resigning in favor of his wonderful vice president (so, who’s mayor of D.C. now?), and moving to the West Coast with his children so his…

I’ve read all the books, and I don’t think it’s a spoiler alert to wonder if perhaps the budget calls for more production values than SyFy is willing to invest? PLEASE someone step forward. Let’s do this thing!

All I know is that from this point on, my favorite super hero is Phil Coulson, in the person of Clark Gregg. He’s the human being in this story (never mind the bionic arm), the moral compass with a wry sense of humor. The one who doesn’t need to be able to fly to be awesome.

As someone who has watched a bit of other DC universe shows, I have come to hate and resent any intrusion whatsoever by Ra’s al Ghul. I don’t believe him. I don’t believe in him. I don’t buy his story. He bores the l.s. out of me, and I am particularly resentful that he has shown up in the only DC storyline I’ve…

They did ask the one who was the most likely to go for it - the true believer, looking for a cause to believe in. Henry isn’t one of those. Henry is going to be appalled, I think. I hope he makes it through. Paige’s security clearance for the State Department will run through the FBI, right? Hmmmm.....

“a pseudo-Anglo-Norman usage of Fitz was adopted for younger sons of the British royal family who lacked a legal surname, and particularly for illegitimate children of kings, princes, or general upper class men” - fits his illegitimacy - wonder if was chosen for that purpose.

All those arguments remind me forcibly of that scene in LOTR when the future fellowship is trying to decide who will take the ring. A cacophony of voices, until Frodo steps forward. So, who’s Frodo here?

If I remember correctly, Jeremiah was set up as a future villain almost from the start, when Jerome outed him as the guy who actually had done all the bad stuff as a kid, only Jerome got blamed for it. So I wasn’t at all surprised. The crazy gas didn’t help anything, but Jeremiah claims it wasn’t necessary and had no…

I knew they were coming, but as the plane neared the end of the runway, my hopes not so much as bubbled up as gave a little burp. And then bullets. But as you say, she gets out, what then? She becomes a heroine in the Canadian army that is getting ready to invade? Or is the Gilead army trying to invade Canada?

Yes, because I keep forgetting that it *is* the Roci, not some other confounded ship whose name I keep forgetting.

I thought Phillip was pawing through her things looking for a clue about what she is up to - he found something, and that’s what he passed along to Oleg.

Patrick Warburton, sans mustache, plays practically the same character on A Series of Unfortunate Events, where he’s a delicious Lemony Snicket narrator.

And didn’t Phillip basically out himself with “if anybody offers to take you to a Communist country, say no”? She’ll never track him down, but will she tell papa?

I almost find it more horrifying this year than last, since this year I can see so many more commonalities with actual current events. We are not faced with world-wide infertility, but with global warming heating up, so to speak, we are not without a possible catastrophic plunge into darkness.

I’m not really seeing the point if it turns out that humanizing the robots gives them nothing more than a desire for violent revenge. West World itself seemed constructed to bring out the worst in humanity. Is the “evolution” of Delores going to be nothing but same-o, same-o?

Every time Ra’s shows up, I am forcibly reminded that this is not a Marvel show, with all the wit and humor those shows usually bring with them. I’m sometimes fooled into giving the DC universe a break, when there are characters like Barbara and Selina and Penguin (in his current Robin Lord Taylor incarnation), but…

I thought for a few minutes there that we had cow Syd, but I doubt it. Sigh.

Found it.

Did anyone else have their show interrupted by Trump? Is there somewhere I can catch the last 18 minutes?
