Earth-2 Laurel seems like someone who will keep every door open until they have to shut them. As long as she can keep playing both Quentin and Diaz, she will.

So once I was in the grocery store and I realized that the woman in front of me was Dana Wheeler-Nicholson and it took all the willpower I had to not ask her that.

I’m left wondering what happened to whatever shirt she was wearing.  I’m presuming when the dress wasn’t going to work, she decided it’d be better to do something that demanded explanation and would stand out, rather than look like a scrub who just walked in wearing jeans and a t-shirt.

I think the case for most CW shows is, while less people watch it, those that watch it are really into it.

It makes some sense. As long as the ratings hold, and those two are probably paid as well as they can expect, why not keep going?

You know, can we decide to forever leave Arrested Development off these “if only...” lists. Talk about one-season-wonders, or shows cut down without a full first season. I might even give you shows that got two seasons but were mistreated by the network

There would be something glorious in making circumstances forcing Nyssa to take a desk job in the mayor’s office.

He is a guy who wrote a book where the hero more or less breaks his arm patting himself on the back for liking a girl with a birthmark.

“This here’s Slipknot.  He’s here to demonstrate that the exploding collars do actually work.”

That utterly bewildered, almost whispered, “What are you doing?” may be my favorite part of the movie.  He’s about to win but he’s just so confused!

There’s also the undercurrent that baseball as a pro sport died out around that time, and Bokai was the last great baseball player.

More like Renn Faires and Society for Creative Anachronism.  

I did love JMS’s explanation of how pop culture, especially comedy, is often completely opaque taken out of context, and so we literally cannot get why people int he 2260s think Reebo and Zooty are funny.

Can you imagine, way back in 2012 watching the pilot of Arrow, if someone told you then, “In six years this will lead to Crisis On Earth-X where he teams up with Flash, Supergirl and a dozen other DC heroes to fight Nazi Dopplegangers of themselves.” You’d have thought them mad.

Ah, Plxorn.  You beautiful doomed bastard.

When I first moved to Texas, occasionally I’d get a call from my mom (in upstate NY) checking if we were OK because there was a tornado or flood or something “in Texas”.  And I’d have to be all, “Mom, Boston is closer to you than that is to me.”

That one and What Up With That? are both objectively terrible, but I love them so.

Cheese of the month club.

Stefon also seems to be one of those sketches where THE WHOLE POINT is “Can I make Hader break?”  Like the one where Keenan is the convict trying to scare-straight the three kids.  Breaking isn’t a bug in those skits, it’s a feature.

Spoilers.
