You didn't think there was poignancy in May's flashback to Hawaii at the end of the episode? Heck, Ming Na's performance all episode long, dragging herself from one stop to the next, looking like someone trying to wake up from a bad dream?

You're right, E2 Welles's face isn't a good reason to distrust him. However, trust is as much an emotional state as an act of reason. I've known people who have contentious relationships with their kids, largely because they're visual reminders of a disliked former partner. It's not a rational impulse, and I suspect…

"He shows you how quickly the horrors of socialized medicine can destroy the American Dream!"

Barry owns STAR Labs now, which should be a big deal (it's fairly hard to hide the ownership of anything that big—people will try to find out) but hasn't been, so far. E1 Welles was really wealthy, though, so it's likely that whatever trust fund he left behind is enough to pay Cisco and Caitlin's salaries and the…

I think it's surprising none of them have done anything to explore Earth-2, period. Heck, that would've been a good use of Barry's dad—have him volunteer to be the one to get the lay of the land on Earth-2, then it turns out he can only send messages back, not return physically.

Oh no. Let me guess: lots of people with the theory that Zoom is Obama?

Hang on to them. I'm sure they'll come in handy eventually.

Wow, I kinda called this one when they announced Wally West's casting three months back:

That's a great insight, because as mean shows go, Just Shoot Me was a lot more like Married With Children than like Seinfeld. Just Shoot Me didn't seem to understand that while Seinfeld was a mean show, the characters themselves weren't mean. They were selfish, amoral, and frequently jerks, but they weren't malicious.…

Don't trial participants have to sign off on the fact they might be in the placebo group? Otherwise, I'd imagine there might be liability from participants whose cancer progressed unchecked during the x number of weeks they were taking sugar pills.

So you're anti-watches with lasers in them? Because that's about as science fiction-y as a car with adaptive camouflage. Heck, the "invisible car" isn't much more far fetched than a working mechanical watch with an electromagnet in it. We're hardly talking Moonraker here.

I'd disagree, mainly on the grounds that Caitlin's never been a well-realized character (except for maybe the first two or three episodes), so I don't actually believe there's been a falloff. I mostly put this on the writers, who really seem to struggle to find lines for her every week. However, I think the actress…

It's shocking that with two incredibly appealing leads, they produced a film with no spark whatsoever. It's an 11-year-old's idea of sexy. Brosnan has a lot more chemistry with Rosamund Pike, who's supposed to be a cold fish (yup, she's subtly named "Frost" and then they hook up in an ice hotel on a glacier, just in…

I wish I could claim credit for it, or remember who mentioned it in the comments here. Sadly, Disqus makes searching things out pretty hard once you hit more than a couple of hundred comments.

Hollywood's weight politics are weird. You can be a fat actor if you're tall, strapping, and bigger than life (Goodman) or comically rotund (Wayne Knight, I guess?). Things are dicier if you're in between, which is where Plemons currently falls. You can do it as a stunt, like Bale in American Hustle, but it's a bad…

Yeah, there was an exciting moment in Die Another Day when it looked like being a prisoner was going to make a difference in how Bond behaved. Then he shows up in a four-star hotel in Hong Kong, soaking wet and wearing hospital/prison wear, and some new clothes and a bottle of champagne later, suddenly he's 007 again,…

Jinx's awful, awful puns were definitely the worst part of the movie.* It was like she was a Bond parody character. It was a shame, since Berry looked great in the part, and the idea of Bond having a female counterpart who kicks ass and has similar attitudes about sex and romance had a lot of potential (Michelle Yeoh…

"Ah, well, I had a little problem with… substances, and I, uh, ended up doing things, no two ways about it, in the street, that a man shouldn't do…"

Yeah, there was a line where they tell the U2 drivers that the plane's been stripped down because "every pound of weight costs us 100(?) feet of altitude." And my immediate thought was "Bad news for you, Murph!"

Dammit, Tyrion should win the Quantum of Thrones!
