Hats off to LaToya Ferguson being the ONE writer to have Person of Interest on her top 15.
Cue the "why is so and so not on the list," missing there's a "What is missing from our list" thread up already.
Damn, between the real list and this, hard to find anything left off of note. But one big one left off:
MOTHER FUCK 2016
To quote Peter Dinklage in the short-lived series Threshold: "People have been predicting the end of the world since the beginning of the world and so far exactly zero percent have been right."
And that's a key reason the Trump win was such a shock. Because so many on the left were sticking to their bubble of "It's a lock, no way latinos, African-Americans and women vote for Trump in large numbers, she's winning!" I ran into it myself warning in the last week he could pull it off and was slammed as "Trump…
Excellent interview. Obama is hurting but calm and showing class, much unlike the guy we're about to get.

I"m shocked I've yet to see one recap site using the line "A bloody dis-guts—-ing episode."
You spend months thinking "How can this series get even more insane."
Oh, boy, it's a heaping helping of Harrelson Ham.
I'll be honest, I had a nutty idea Prometheus was Black Siren under a special costume as some sort of wild game.
So, bets on "Laurel" return? I'm still holding out it's Black Siren pulling some mind game or trying to get with another Oliver.
AND it was made long before Trump got in the race.
Oh yeah, just made a strange sense and great how it was pulled off.
A few others…
The warehouse fight scene from Batman v Superman. It's like watching a bit from the Arkham Aslyum games come to life. It's gripping, brutal, amazing to watch and more fantastic than the film it's in. Say what else, this is one of THE best showcases for Batman on the big screen ever.
