We're not, I had a simple brainfart. I think I was starting to type 'the drug addiction' or 'the author's addiction problems' and got distracted.

"Now there are people who will say to that, ‘Well, he’s not writing history, he’s writing fantasy—he put in dragons, he should have made an egalitarian society.’ Just because you put in dragons doesn’t mean you can put in anything you want."

I think it's important to keep in mind, though, that Misery wasn't really about a psychotic fan. Annie Wilkes was a metaphor for the Stephen's addiction problems. So naturally, all these years removed from that, any similar material is going to seem a little less personal, intense, or intimate.

Yeah, I literally don't know who she is. I actually just checked her IMDB page and aside from this episode, I've never seen anything she's in.

Didn't they make this official, like, months ago?

It's weird, it's almost as if Twitter's promise that Trends will completely change our entire lives and dominate the global media landscape is some sort of twisted advertising scam.

I do agree with your complaint. It's just that I don't watch nearly as much TV as a lot of people do, and I don't go out of my way to keep up on the cast of stuff I don't watch. I can count on one hand how many of these one-off guest stars I've recognized this season, and maybe the last as well. So every time I go to…

Am I the only person who watches this show but doesn't have a comprehensive database of every actor every to appear in something that critics love? And thus, unable to recognize every single 'obvious' guest star villain, the tension and mystery of the cases are actually slightly preserved for me?

Wow, almost three whole paragraphs before a gripe about the show's visual style. And for once, it actually makes a point!

Well, I think Adalind said it can't be fresh Hexencorpse. But I could be wrong.
But I do think it was foolish to just hand it to her. I'd have given her a jar of water first just to see what she'd do with it.

Thanks!
(Also, I might steal that phrase. Because it's pure gold.)

So what you're saying is that there's a chance Gotham could still get cancelled just in time for my birthday next week?

Technically, there's no such thing as 'too little too late' when the show's already got a second season. Has a network ever gone back on an early renewal because they approved something that turned out to be a piece of crap after?

You make a good point, I misspoke. I never really disliked Juliette. Well, not before she turned evil, and even then she makes an interesting foil. I could see her as sort of a random wild card character who could turn up and make things interesting, but with this show that means they'll devote a segment of each…

Fair enough. Though honestly, I really hope they don't try for an Angelus/Angel thing with Juliette. Because while I can see finding some way of getting her back into a functional state, I can't imagine a Juliette version of that being anything but 'useless Juliette that the writers don't know what to do with'/'evil…

It seems like a little thing, but I actually really like that the show had Renard's "I don't think this could get any more complicated" line after we've already established that Juliette's on her way into the station.

Fact of the matter is, the tattoos look like something a Joker fan would have, not the Joker himself (I figure the Joker would have the Batman logo tattooed on his ankle, or maybe as a tramp stamp, because he's obsessed with Batman). Also, I have trouble imagining the Joker sitting still long enough for anyone else to…

I like Dominic Cooper, but I'm not entirely sure he's got the chops for the misogynist soliloquies required of any Garth Ennis work, let alone Preacher.

At the same time, though, it's going to require some serious mental gymnastics to justify why she'd be cool with Barry having kept this from her for so long after she briefly channeled one of Thea Queen's patented truth-lectures on Eddie.

And in those 50k copies, they could include a character added for the sole purpose of going "If you want to see more of this character, please check out our television shows."
(That said, given the dropping ratings of most network television and the associated losses of advertising revenue, the comics might be a better…
