I thought it was quite a bit more sitcom-y and while I still enjoyed it…I dunno. I think what Ianucci *really* brought to the show wasn't the biting swears, it was just the right amount of political realism, and unexaggerated character traits. It was minor, but this episode lost some of that, and some of the…

Personally enjoyed this a great deal more than the reviewer although I do agree that Hex was a bit of a non entity really. One thing I will say is that I thought this episode looked absolutely gorgeous, there was a low shot of Ray facing off against the gang the first time that was so wonderfully framed, and the place…

I made it better for myself by fake-believing that he wasn't *the* HG Wells but the great (great?) grandfather of Harrison Wells

What I think - there are maybe some contract negotiations coming up this year, and they suspect one of the leads might want to leave?

Yeah but, as an out, Barry did specifically ask for a message he would record if it was the last thing he could ever say to her.

Max Richter's The Leftovers score almost single-handedly qualifies him for that list, imo, even if his solo stuff wasn't so captivating too.

The thing is, I don't believe it was Bear that created the opening theme, I think it was Richard Gibbs. At least, the 'UK version' (that went on to become the season 2+ main theme).

I'll miss Disqus myself, if it goes. I can't be bothered remembering 50 different logins for different sites (or indeed, logging in 50 different times on mobile when my browser cookies expire), so I like the convenience of being able to login to Disqus once. It does seem to be the dominant commenting system on my…

Alternative theory: the moment when every film is just about to have its own title spoken aloud, smash cut into the title card without the character saying it, and then play the Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia theme music.

But that's the wrong screencap :(

Here's a good trailer for it: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

On this tip, try to acquire the brilliant British parody series "A Touch of Cloth" which is written by Black Mirror genius Charlie Brooker. It's a spoof of all the grimdark British cop shows like Cracker, Prime Suspect, and of course A Touch of Frost. John Hannah is perfect as Detective Jack Cloth, and the whole show…

All, or like 90%, of my money, is on it being Sam Clayton, aka mother of Ollie's son.

And of course, Fringe also had a David Robert Jones

There's also the basic fact that Arrow was not great for half of its first season, The Flash had plenty of early hiccups, and Supergirl definitely had a weak pilot. They have a solid formula for these shows now, I can't see it not working out here.

Its not so much that nobody seems to care about that, as it is a few people care far too much about that, and therefore everyone else just kind of steers clear of that whole subject. Northern Irish people can be very insane about national symbology.

"The uploader has not made this video available in your country" - Fuck you VEVO,

I was going to say. I'm a massive Lindstrom fan and I'd swing between a grade E and a grade A for it, but it's got to be listened to in full at least once imo - weird, hypnotic, weird, also a possible cover version of Bolero, and also very very weird.

oooh, I didn't realise that! I might actually make a trip out to the cinema for this one in that case.

The best thing about the story is the recollection that he play it entirely straight, because the visuals that creates in your head are genuinely laugh out loud funny.
