Bring back Gilbert Gottfried, you cowards.

Finally. The original Mxyzptlk episode was a disappointment and the actor who played him was just not the right fit. But Tom Lennon is pretty much the perfect choice.
Intruders was forgotten even as it was still airing sadly. The av club did review of it and just abruptly stopped doing them mid-season. The whole season was only like 6 episodes, would it have been that much trouble to see it through to the end? But no
I was thinking the same thing—he must be referring to Intruders. Wish he would’ve commented more about that, because Intruders was rather insane. Although you make a good point, it was just another creepy assassin role for him, back when it seemed like that was all he’d get cast for.
I loved that show! And nobody watched it. It is based on a book that I will probably one day read, but after the first season there were too many unanswered questions and you just knew it wasn’t going to be renewed but it was some of the darkest arabesque stuff I had seen for a long time up to that point and it stuck…
I think the BBC show that he alludes to doing before Orphan Black is Intruders (with Millie Bobby Brown), an interesting, creepy one season show. He was, of course, a creepy assassin.
Given the Titans version of Doom Patrol has a different Chief, a different main character arriving at the end of the episode, and Larry has a completely different personality, while Doom Patrol Doom Patrol shows no signs of ever having had Gar... I think they’re a different Earth.
Everything else aside - the use and integration of “Blue Monday” into this trailer was phenomenal. Sound effects for breakbeats, symphonic adaptation - all spot on. Slays the tired ‘ominous, brooding version of a pop hit’ music, hopefully.
Michelle Gomez should be playing both Lillith and Miss Wardwell this season. Double Michelle Gomez action can only be a good thing!
Thanks for the posting! I wouldn’t have known about this and I definitely want to SAVE THE LODGE!!
We have been calling him Bland Husband because why bother to learn his name?
It does feel weird that previously Oliver was going “hey, this really shady guy who’s never nice to me might be the villain!”, and now it’s all “no, it’s OK, the shady guy tortured me for a while and had my friends betray me, but then he let me go so he must be the hero and we must obey him without question”. It…
i don’t mind the gender swapping , but Mirror Master should sound like a character from trainspotting...I mean they should need subtitles too explain what they’re saying. ‘ Aye ahll nae kill kids ur hens.,. ya ken? ,but its open season oon any f*cker else likesay.’*
The whole Ground Hog’s day situation just felt like it was just about badgering Ollie into being loyal to The Monitor again. Like it was all about putting trust into someone and them trusting you back but the Monitor has been nothing but shady since day one, especially since a good part of the early season was about…
These are all really, really good ideas.
The scene where Liz basically says “take the money I have now and call it even or I will definitely die or kill myself before you get what I owe” was so funny, sad, empowering and heartbreaking at the same time. I just mentioned in another comments section how hard it is to sum up or sell this show, “Its about life,…
I want to give a little shout out to the CW’s the 100, the little show that could. It got lost on the CW due to all the Arrow-verse shows and rarely taken seriously because it was a CW show but at it’s best it featured some great storytelling, massive worldbuilding, and an amazing ability to have all sorts of…
Lodge 49. Such a lovely, innocent show. We didn’t deserve it!
I find it hard to believe that Riverdale being...itself, anybody would really care that much about forced inadvertent cannibalism. I mean, gross, but it’s not like it was potluck.
