She waved the waitress over and said, "He needs to make me another burger. This one's a coaster." The cook was visible in the background. The waitress seemed intimidated by her. I don't think there is any indication that she had been there before or not. She had a very confident presence that made her seem like she…

The "UFO" sighting immediately brought to mind Close Encounters.Close Encounters of the Third Kind was a huge, defining film of the 1970's. Arguably more internalized by the American public than Star Wars, as it brought the aliens to us, less than a decade after the moon landing, rather than "A long time ago in a…

O'Donnel was the second in-show super-fan of The Doctor to die so far during Capaldi's run. Who wants to bet that O'Donnel and Osgood will re-appear in a future episode (or at least be mentioned together)?
Is the show trying to say something about the fans?
Are there any other recent characters that are fans of the…

You are absolutely right, Cook is the exception.
The most interesting thing about the Dane Cook part of the interview is that Louie says, "I didn’t want to send him the script because I didn’t want it out in the wild, and I don’t let anybody read my shit, or have it, really. So I said, 'Just come to my office.'"
Then he…

I agree with all the points made against the show, but the opening scenes - Harper (appearing to) kill her mother - creeped me the fuck out, and I was watching in broad daylight. I can't say that many (any?) tv shows have that effect on me any more. It didn't help that right after that scene, my daughter tiptoed into…

I think the reviewer missed the point about the fish oil shot; it was supposed to be funny. The tag line on the bottle was, "It will change your life!" The whole thing was just a panel from the last page of a single issue of a comic book. Can't you imagine the whole layout from the trunk of crystals open at the bottom…

"People like that"? Non-murderers? I think most of us don't want to kill anyone. If it weren't for Harold's ideals/morals, the Machine would have been just like Samaritan. We can only hope that Friendly AI will be figured out and implemented into any superintelligent AIs. The show can throw around the word…

I was hooked on her character from the episode when she interrogated and tortured Root and then realized that Root had been communicating with the Machine all along. Actually, her confrontation with Greer in this episode really echoed that earlier exchange.

With his eyes rolled back in his head he looked brain-dead though the shot was to the chest/shoulder so I was a little confused as to why he looked like he was stroking out. Shit, I just had an image of Elias (Colantoni) hooked up to life support and someone plugging in the suitcase with the "DNA" of the machine in…

The music on The Americans is great! There was an entire episode last season devoted to Yaz both diegetically and non-diegetically. Peter Gabriel's "Games Without Frontiers" was used in an early episode (the pilot?) to great effect. "The Chain" is one of my favorite songs, though I associate it more with the 70's…

I don't think I feel that way… until I just looked it up, I didn't think apprehensible was a real word. Apparently it is an archaic one, meaning:
"apprehensible |ˌapriˈhensəbəl|adjective archaic or poetic/literarycapable of being understood or perceived : a bat whirred, apprehensible only from the displacement of air.OR…

"aging TV toddler syndrome" has long been called SORAS - Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome - and there were many hilarious and head-scratching examples of the disease in that once epic genre.

The potion didn't bother me as much as Nick keeping Juliette locked up in jail. What right did he have to deny her freedom over some misdemeanors? He wasn't keeping her in jail because of the crime she committed, he was doing it (solely of his own power and decision) because he was upset that his ex-girlfriend wasn't…

"Dark Willow"… Thanks for reminding me that Grimm is just a less-funny, less-clever knockoff of Buffy the Vampire Slayer starring grown men.

When "Crazy" started playing over the fight scene, all I could think of was "Helix". Having mellow pop songs play over weird and disturbing horror scenes (not that there was any horror in that fight but there was lots in the episode) is Helix's signature. There are similarities between Helix (especially 1st season)…

Who wants to bet that at some point (possibly not until a later season) it will be revealed that Ramse's son is Cole?

I don't think Manimal was saying, "Lexa and the Grounders are the noblest people to have ever walked the planet". Calling him/her "crazy" for thinking that seems way off base. It's as if you were reading a vastly different post.

The presence of a number of BSG alum (not that any got much screen time or story… granted, they are adults) perked my interest. The writing and the talent of the young actors kept me watching. By the end of the first season I was hooked and didn't think of The 100 as a guilty pleasure - the show has substance that…

The actress who played Jadzia Dax was once guest starred on an episode of Quantum Leap starring Scott Bakula.

I still think they paid Donnie handsomely for reporting on Alison, even if they didn't address that fact on the show. I just don't see Donnie following Alison to the cemetery and reporting to Leaky, much less all of the other work he must have done for Dyad over the years, out of some altruistic desire to help a…
