She has to be trained in basic spycraft, so she can use it in her eventual high-security job.

Actually, it’s soap opera and sitcom shorthand for a pregnancy. Who gets pregnant in Disney properties? I thought Disney babies arrive via cartoon stork, no fuss, no muss.

No Soylent Green recap this week? Sob!

So that caveman talk by the Heapsters was phony after all, just an affectation. How the hell did Jadis get a whole, large group of people to agree to talk like that, at least in front of outsiders?? Jeebus, if you’re that effective a leader, why not turn that talent of persuasiveness towards something useful, like…

I can beat that by one soap: I first saw him in about 1990, on All My Children, as tough teenager Trask Bodine, who I think was in unrequited love with Lainey Cortlandt. Trask’s younger brother Brian came on as the love interest for Kelly Ripa’s bratty metal/goth chick, Hayley Vaughn, the secret illegitimate daughter…

It’s because of Kinja.

Yeah, I remember that split-second glimpse. I just wanted to amend LaToya’s comment that she was “comic book appropriate.” Would have been nice to see the mask this time, at least.

Well, “a comic book appropriate Maze” except for the face. I really miss the face (and the attendant pronunciation quirks it caused).

Yes, in fact. No one hates giving this show credit more than I do, but remember the first season sort of sleazy guy, named (I think) Jim? They left him tied to a tree, or near a tree, or something. He didn’t want to be shot, but they didn’t want to just leave a zombie around to harm other people. I remember Andrea…

Eugene figured how to lure the herd away with music from the iPod-carrying drone.

“And, oh yeah, Carl gets bitten by zombie. At least I think it’s zombie. It would be weird to find out that it was just some random Savior, but the fact that a walker managed to dig its teeth into his torso and break the skin without getting any flesh.”

Coulson was funny, but I thought best line of the night was Mack’s, when he was talking about how you never split up to cover more ground, and added something about”...and you *know* who’s going to get it first!”

Particularly the very on-the-nose inclusion of a performer fiddling while Rome (the world) burns.

I somehow missed that this was an orphaned episode from season 2, so I was really confused by the timeline, too. First we seemingly had Lucifer having sex with Dr. Linda again, but then in the club, when Reese first engaged with him, Lucifer offhandedly mentioned working with the police for “a couple of weeks”or…

I feel like I’ve been seeing watermelon & feta salad on menus for years (I live in an east coast, fairly foodie area), but I couldn’t find it in any 20th century books on Google Books. It does start to appear in the early 2000s, though. It works surprisingly well as a combination. Tastewise, It’s not that different…

You’re the second comment I’ve seen asserting that Dustin was calling Mr. Wheeler a “son of a bitch.” He wasn’t. Using “son of a bitch” in that context is as an exclamation, made by someone obviously completely exhausted by his inability to get the most basic information out of Mike’s father. He’s son-of-a-bitching…

Is casting info from the producers that impacts coming seasons not considered a spoiler anymore?

The acronym AIDS was already in use at the time of the show, which is, as of season 2, set in 1984. I lived in the NY area, and we we starting to hear it by early 1983. The CDC actually designated it “AIDS” (after ditching both “GRID” and “4H disease”) in 1982.

A Dustin ‘grrrrr’ is in the mouth; a Wookie growl comes more from the sinuses, much farther back and higher up.

And at that age, in suburbia in the early 1980s, anyone with Jonathan’s taste in music would have been *overjoyed* to find anyone who listened to the same music as him and would have instantly been interested, at least in my experience (and I’m just a little older than Jonathan).
