Adored the bit you mentioned where Olivia avoids the trap and Milo just stares with "That's…not…supposed to happen." Clearly the first time EVER his visions have failed and you can see him just rocked yet also happy that, for once, he's normal in not knowing what's coming.

Seriously, if you haven't watched Wynonna Earp start RIGHT NOW. Funny, clever, great acting, wild set-ups and the cast is ultra top notch. Melanie Scorfano is terrific in the title role, so damn funny and hot and the relationship between Waverly and Haught just feels so natural and fun, it's addictive as hell.

Mine too, just did the first Hercules.

Well, a MST3K thread means only one thing….
"SLAB BULKHEAD!"

Love the first Valentine's Day episode where Mindy goes to the Empire State Building to "meet that special someone" and doesn't get why cops and Homeland Security agents are wondering about a dark-skinned woman checking out a landmark over and over again.
"I"m here to meet that special someone and go to the top of the

I still remember watching Friel as Chuck on Pushing Daisies, wonderful all-American accent then hearing her in her real voice in an interview. I knew she was British, didn't know that British.

Love the tale of how, on April 1st, 1983, it was announced Cimino and Dustin Hoffman would be making a movie together. Everyone in Hollywood assumed it was an April Fool's Day joke as the idea of two incredibly egocentric and demanding guys working together was impossible to imagine. "If that movie gets made in

Except, as stated, Cimino said he would only drop fifteen minutes tops, he honestly wanted the five hour version released.

Okay, I grant some stories told proven wrong since. But still, it's fact he threw a party to celebrate shooting the most film ever (Walken: "How many times can you have a guy crack a whip?") and wasting four hours a day on driving around. As you point out, the man considered himself far, far better an artist than he

I remember the classic line of Steven Bach in Final Cut when, after the first screening of the five hour version of Heaven's Gate, one co-worker offers that "it had some beautiful shots." Bach's reply: "It's all beautiful. It's also unwatchable."

Yeah, the great book Final Cut about the making of Heaven's Gate notes that Cimino's "only I know how to do all this" attitude was a key reason it got out of control.

Love how you call Heaven's Gate an "expensive flop" rather than the epic disaster that's still legendary thanks to Cimino….
* Wasting four hours a day driving cast and crew to and from locations.
* Having an entire town set demolished and then rebuilt two inches higher.
* Setting the record for the most feet of film shot

And still a genius bit of timing how "30 For 30" did Believeland all about the curse over the city sports just a few months ago.

I remember Kevin Smith ranting on how he hated Bruce giving up Batman to be with Chase. "This is who he is, WHAT he is, he can't live without it, no way he give it up for a gal!"
Jump to 2009 when Smith's "Batman the Widening Gyre" mini-series has Bruce…giving up being Batman to be with Silver St. Cloud. Huh.

Pretty available online. Updated version includes the finales of Breaking Bad and Mad Men, great read.

Was I the only one who, when he left the island, was totally prepared for Richard to suddenly age 150 years at once? Just seemed such a "Lost" thing to do.

A great point is that it took the episode of Jack's tattoos (basically recognized as the worst of the show) for them to realize they'd hit a creative block. Then someone suggested the time jump angle and suddenly the show was alive again. However, they all basically admit that if they had to do it over, they'd have

I love how in the excellent The Revolution Was Televised, the producers talk of how they truly and honestly thought "Across the Sea" was going to "blow away fans totally" and unprepared for it being one of the most hated episodes of the series.

I remember a documentary on DC Comics where O'Neill talks about the "no powers" phase with "Yeah, I really screwed that up."

I loved a bit of Rick's autobiography where he openly admits he was "basically Forrest Gumping" across the Marvel Universe.
