You got me on the "never actually an entire planet of apes" but as these newer films appear to be their own thing, I'd like it if they broadened the scope of the original (and even the remake, which clung onto that "Apes rule but are still primitive" idea). As you suggested, it'd be really cool to see the original…

But those movies (Conquest and Battle) were prequels. Dawn is a prequel. I would've liked to have seen a whole movie of the takeover of the earth; I just feel it should've been this one. IMO, it didn't advance the plot; it added several uninteresting, two-dimensional characters; and it resolves in the same way any…

My biggest frustration was that at the end of this movie, it's STILL not The Planet of the Apes. It's, as far as we know, The City of the Apes, at best. And that means they can churn out another prequel (called Beginning of the Planet of the Apes?) about how the Apes conquered the rest of the world. Which I'm sure…

It looked bad, but I didn't think it was pointless. His suit (in the movie and the comics) is projected from his ring, so we can assume it's made of light, just like his constructs. Based on the reaction, they easily could've gotten away with a physical rubber suit, but I applaud them for at least thinking the concept…

I just can't see Green Lantern being done satisfyingly on TV. Ignoring everything else wrong with the film, $200 million were spent on people still not thinking his power looked convincing.

First, Arrow has to atone for not giving Oliver's step-father a more active role and utilizing the Colin Salmon Ladder.

Maybe it's because I'm insane or because it had an extra 40 minutes in running time, but I preferred the pilot for the 90's Flash show. It came out in the shadow of Tim Burton's Batman movies so a lot of the pilot takes aspects from them, but much like Arrow it grew into mostly its own thing.

Only if they want it to look flashy. His power boils down to being able to wave his hand over an apple and turn it into an orange. His only unique trait is that he's a fusion of two people - but he only takes the physical appearance of one while the other talks to him incessantly in his head. Take away his…

Wouldn't a giant head make you look slimmer?

I like to imagine Jack cares less about Boudreau turning him over to the Russians than, after finding out Kate's innocent husband killed himself in jail, he was just happy that someone's husband actually was a traitor.

Sure, he's rolling in dough just to make a potato salad, but has anyone stopped to think about how he now has to say 1,700 names aloud while making potato salad?

I've never seen (or heard of) the miniseries Spoils of Babylon was satirizing.

I like the one where he wakes up and he's the same but everything else is different.

I've never met anyone in real life who's seen The Wire.

If Heller had actually died, I would've been a lot more understanding of it. He shot Palmer's assassin in cold blood too. Maybe if we knew about a history of terrorists Jack has actually captured alive being freed after a while because of the disbanding of CTU or something, I'd understand why Jack would prefer to just…

Abu Fayed nuked Valencia. Vladimir Bierko released a nerve gas that murdered several people in a mall and CTU headquarters. The 24 universe isn't unaccustomed to horrific terrorist acts, and I know Jack Bauer has executed himself some terrorists in cold blood, but this is a woman he'd already subdued and whose plot…

I want that to be the case, but I'm not sure why they'd hide a grudge for nine episodes and then reveal it after she's been caught and killed. If we'd known what she'd done to him (or whatever they had going on), that would've raised the emotional stakes when we needed them.

Does anyone else think Jack Bauer's been written weirdly this season? I don't want to sound like a bleeding-heart liberal, but Jack has always had some justification for his behavior. And the antagonists have always been best when they have some kind of personal connection to Jack (Victor Drazen, Nina Meyers,…

Meagan Good bounced back

I loved this episode. I don't have much more to say than that.
