Noooooarrrgh! Thanks for writing these, Zack. They've been fantastic.

Always love for "The Captain's Hand." Sure, Starbuck's great and we all adore her, etc. etc. It's fun to see the writers openly acknowledge the fact that she can be a real pain in the ass, and even more fun to see them wedge poor Lee in between Kara and Garner.
The layers on this show, man.
That cynicism goes all the way back to Spaceballs.
"Evil will always triumph because good is dumb."
Benjen was definitely out of nowhere, though the writers left themselves an out with his disappearance.
I'm not sure my nerves can take two more seasons.
Grosse Pointe Blank is distilled genius. I'm so glad someone cooler, funnier, and smarter than I am is validating my opinion on it.
In 2016, it's hard to quantify what an event "The Day After" was. In context, after all the arms buildup, Soviet paranoia over Able Archer, the Reaganites' saber-rattling, and our general lack of knowledge about the Soviet mindset, people were fucking freaked about the very real possibility of nuclear war.
That's an interesting thought. Seems like it'd be much more in character for Cap to say, "We're responsible for more than just ourselves," and for Tony to say, "Fuck you, I know best."
Just realized that Ned pilloried Jamie all throughout the first season for stabbing someone in the back. Hmm.
(Hands ten bucks to the guy sitting next to me.)
Plus an all-time top-5 blaxploitation theme song by from the master himself. Seriously, try NOT to walk around singing this after listening to it.
Dolemite will always have a special place in my heart for inspiring so much of Black Dynamite.
"Pegasus" is a work of tension-building art.
That'd be fantastic. We put so much time and effort into psychoanalyzing Frank, but Micro's essentially culpable for, like, 90 percent of his bodycount (which Ennis touches on in "In The Beginning").
Elektra had such promise when they introduced her.
Just to be clear, I'm not liking this for your pain. I'm liking it because it's well-written, it's evocative, and because, man, we all have that one great band that somehow runs right through our worst times.
Their careful enunciation of "Sports DRANK" was everything.
Any episode where either a.) Barry shows up or b.) Krieger's ethics sink to a new low is comedy gold.
Beautiful, weird, cool, androgynous, genre-bending, awe-inspiring.
