I fully agree with the reviewer here: The Mummy was a movie so fun that it naturally started a franchise and Returns was a movie so bad that it made me never want to see another movie in a theater again after watching it.

If Amazon was smart, they'd have Goodman do a cameo - be a waiter in a restaurant.

Also, the doctor had his "sight-glasses". It's like selling out humanity to give someone a real leg, when they have a good prosthetic leg. And they're yelling at you, "Don't do it!"

For me, the problem isn't that they're remaking great movies, it's how. They are throwing huge money at overly-expensive actors. Tom Cruise, Russell Crowe, Johnny Depp, and Angelina Jolie is a dream lineup from the 1990's. The reboot (to me) reeks of the same bad decision-making and old-school Hollywood thinking that

I was mad when the only thing Picard got after a
lifetime of experiences was the ability to play the
flute. I would have given him a whole list of permanent skills: suddenly
good with kids, enjoys old-man games, etc.

That was about the only development for this entire season.

I haven't seen anything from this season yet, but I'm interested to see if they will follow the original "House of Cards" storyline, or if they will break with it and tell a new story. If they continue to follow the original (my bet), then it explains why there are no allusions to Trump.

Ways to fix the end:

Or many don't walk around with signs on their heads saying their sexual orientation. Why assume that unidentified people are straight? Perhaps the uncounted movies are filled with LGBTQ people and their sexuality was never explored.

If my bank/credit card company gave my personal information to a private company, I'd feel betrayed. If I were on a jury, I'd rule against them in a major way. Lawyers, it's time for a class action lawsuit to shut down the credit card companies who are giving detailed, personally identifiable information about

It happened when Google bought Doubleclick. Good -> Evil. Search Engine Company -> Human Profiling / Behavior Manipulation Company.

I agree - I thought this was a good episode, a real step up from a recent drought (it was the best episode since Aziz Ansari, in my opinion.)

The story was introduced as "Peter and the Wolf" and he was introduced as the wolf.

Yeah, me. Nostalgia paints a rosey picture, since your memory only replays a best-of list. Don't believe me? Rewatch em'. There are too many thoughtless, formulaic Cheers episodes.

No, it's not very good. It has witty dialog, strong characters and great actors but suffers from nonsense cases solved by confessions. It really was mismanaged from the top - CBS needed to produce 10 thought-through episodes a year instead of 24 episodes of crap.

I agree, I thought this was a fantastic episode. I thought the automated spacesuits carrying corpses was a clever way to have a zombie episode, and I disagree with the reviewer - I thought they were fantastic villains (leagues better than those crap cgi bugs from last week). I loved how the doctor ended out blind.

The center is going to kill Pastor Tim. That's my bet.
[edit]
Maybe that's just what I want. When given a choice between something happening and not, this show has an alarming tendency to have the thing not happen. Maybe the big reveal was just that a random guy thinks that the Jennings are raising their daughter wrong.

Agreed, I spent the episode oscillating between wondering why things happened and just thinking they were stupid. (How does the mother control the bugs? Can a bug un-eat a person? Why does the house implode? Are the bugs going to look for new victims? - these q's were from about 30 seconds worth of episode time.)

Amen! It's one of the all-time stupidest stories ever. The only thing good about it is the great name - a real detective would solve the case in about an hour.

I know that this show is a slow burn, but it's time for something to happen…
