It does get better when it embraces a wilder take on history. Plus, Megan Follows kills it in every episode.

To be fair, the show is historically reaching Mary's end anyway….

"Screw Sinatra's hand!"

Twelve had potential but the whole "Tess pretends to be Julia Roberts" bit was going a tad too far.

Okay, say what else about how Suicide Squad ended up, that trailer early in the year did make it look great:

The book Public Enemies does a great job showcasing stuff like the real life crooks. Especially notable is how the story of Ma Parker as this twisted criminal mastermind was made up by Hoover to cover the FBI killing an elderly woman during the raid. A real member of the Parker gang literally laughed "that woman

Would be nice to finally see an on-screen Bonnie and Clyde like the real people were: Unattractive sociopath messes who were nothing but low-level thugs in their prime and not that famous until decades later.

Said above, a buddy of mine in England responded with "hey, half my country ignored every rational economic sense and voted to leave the EU. Looks like 2016 is the year the general public gave up on common sense."

Right after the election, talked to a friend of mine in England, apologizing for half my country losing their minds. He responded "trust me, my nation has no right to criticize on making incredibly stupid decisions we now regret. Looks like 2016 is the year the general public just ignored common sense." Sums it up.

Depends how you lean, I guess. I mean, left-wing sites point out how GOP has blocked Obama constantly while places like Red State state in seriousness "they just roll over and let Obama trash the Constitution and do what he wants." Talking with my dad (a bit more conservative but no Trump guy) makes me realize it does

One of my fave uses of Reagan was when he and Nick Fury are taken captive but these bizarre plant humanoids used by Plant-Man. When he announces he's going to ransom them for a billion dollars in gold, Reagan responds "Good Lord, man, be reasonable! The federal budget can't take that much added strain!" As a

Talk now of "what will movies and TV be like under Trump?" Naturally, some worry although folks not thinking Trump is going to make shows get off the air because they make fun of him. Some concern on how his dealings with China can affect box office which is so needed there.

Ah, so Timeless continuing the old mantra of presenting Bonnie and Clyde as hot, dashing, daring bank robbers rather than the unattractive low-rent sociopathic thugs they really were.

They had actually had Charming stating he knows wishes can backfire so best not to use it for someone he cares for.

Wow…and here I thought no band could possibly top the self-indulgence and high and might attitude of Creed.

Dammit, I was ready to hate Baby Groot but I can't. I physically can't.

Folks keep clinging to the hope electors turn on him because of that but give it up, not going to happen.

My dad (in his 70s) pushes that Trump can't do half of what he wants because of the restrictions and such and that he'll be fighting most of the GOP as much as the Dems. He really hates the guy and thinks he'd not right for office but also contends he won't be a dictator (after all, he's huge on 2nd amendment and how

Well, not their fault she went from awkward nerd to full hottie.

Dammit, was so hoping that Foster was playing Michelle and doing a double take when she meets Emily.
