When the Amazonian island was first introduced, it was called "Paradise Island." It took some time before it was called Themyscira. Definitely not a throwaway line.

How does a movie ride the coattails of its sequel that came out a few years later? I don't think that's how it works…

I disagree with the reading that Buffy found out Xander lied and holds a grudge about it. I think the implication was that she harbored resentment against both Xander and Willow for seemingly not giving a shit that she had to kill her ex-boyfriend, as evidenced by him coming to give her the "kick his ass" message.

The title has been on the line once before in the Rumble match itself, in 1992, when the title was vacated after it went from Hogan to Undertaker, back to Hogan again, with shenanigans involved in the outcome of each match. The winner of the '92 Rumble,…

You don't see a difference between fictional journalists and fictional politicians? In the Newsroom, Sorkin wanted to use real-world news to give the audience a frame of reference and as a backdrop for the story he wanted to tell. It's easy to do that by just creating a fictional cable company competing with other…
