Jo's departure is far more heartbreaking than Rose's. Mostly because it was subtly hinted that Jo and the Doctor had feelings for each other and not hammered down our throats like Davies did in Doomsday. It's far sadder than Rose whaling like a siren "I WUV I WOVE OMG I WUV YOU!!!!!!" then for the next two seasons…

Bless Youtube. (Never thought I'd say that.)

I would totally read a comic about Marvel's Pam, as long as she teamed up with Moon Knight to find out who was stealing her pens at work. (They're really nice pens, you guys.)

Prediction — we'll see a surge of men cosplaying as "Chris Pratt playing Princess Leia" at future cons.

"So one female-led action movie flops and it's because of "the saturation of the marketplace"—and not because Aeon Flux was a crummy movie?"

Liam Neesons though?!

It's because it monitors everything else. The show kind of hammered home the point that doing things the old way would just get them caught - it doesn't necessarily have to be as themselves. Old Machine Gang behaviour on new identities will get them slammed as terror threats/Samaritan threats pretty quickly. We see…

It's not that Samaritan can't see them, it's that it is incapable of identifying Finch as Finch. It thinks he might be Harold Finch for a second, but then the thing kicks in and says no, that's Professor Harold Whistler. He's not important. That's not John Reese, it's Detective John Riley.

I thought it was the VHF antennas as well. That makes more sense, technically. Dishes by design have to communicate to a satellite. The VHF antennas are specifically local.

Drawing on his military experience, the number has cleverly hacked one together using abandoned satellite dishes on New York's rooftops.

And so you have become the living embodiment of failed reading comprehension.

You could probably just start with last night's season premiere. Or here's a handy guide I created to catching up on season one:

Rough ride for the agents...

We're talking about Mrs. Ron Swanson here, of course she's not dead. Plus leaning about advanced field amputation techniques are all a part of being a Swanson.

When this show started last year, i hated it (because it was bad). I tried for weeks to get into it, and every week was more miserable than the previous. I gave up. Then people said it got better, so I caught up, liked it more, though still didn't love it.
Last night I loved. Keep it up.

But he didn't let himself get captured. His plan was to get Talbot's family and use that as leverage. He was just super lucky that it worked out the way it did.

She better not be dead. The only thing better than Lucy Lawless is Lucy Lawless with a robot hand. They can't dangle a carrot like that and not deliver. Surely. Suuurrreeeellllyyyyy?

I wrote a primer on how to catch up:

All I could do at the end of the episode was think: "Noooo! Xena!!!!"

I'm not 100% convinced that Agent Hartley is dead. She was in contact with a weird alien artifact only moments before her untimely demise. Comic-book resurrections have been built on less.

(Heck, a little thing like death didn't stop Coulson from getting his own show . . . .)
