The only thing I've ever been able to come up with is that the producers still hadn't totally figured out the political structure of the Others. The actress was fairly well known at the time, so maybe she just became unavailable to use.

I owned and drove a VW for almost two decades. While the battery probably won't work after all those years, all you really need to do is remember to park on an incline facing downhill. Heck, even when I couldn't do that, the little bug was light enough that I could even push-start it on a level surface.

I dunno, but his employment agreement may have forbidden him to archive his work for EW on another site. I believe his twitter account is still active at EWDocJensen.

First of all, a big THANK YOU for the shout out to DocArzt's site. Back when the show was airing that website was a must read at least twice per week. Yeah, I know towards the end of LOST, a lot of fans thought his head was getting a bit too big, but I never cared.

I'd call it "messy." Gilligan and company were pretty meticulous to almost a fault on BB. Justified is a lot more ambiguous on purpose, I think.

Don't know if I'd go quite that far, but he certainly has an ego and overinflated opinion of the power he has. Reminds me a lot of Jack McCoy (L&O) in that way. Get him pissed and all self-righteous and he'll indict a ham sandwich :-)

Can't "like" this enough. If there's a theme to Justified, that's it in a nutshell.

That's a really good question. I don't know how many bridges with high guard rails there are in Kentucky or California where they film, but it's not unusual where I live to have a lot of them. Mostly the older ones, built over deep chasms or RR tracks.

Raylan shooting someone in the back would certainly be a first in this show. Unlike a certain Boyd Crowder who executed Dewey Crowe without looking him in the eye.

He pissed off a US Attorney who has power to order around the Marshall's service, the FBI and a number of other federal LE agencies.

I'm starting to use the word "supers" because it's just plain simpler than most. And everyone who's ever read comics can catch on.

Not only is she evil as hell, but now she's all mopey because her "miracle" she'd been waiting for came with a bunch of spiky things and having to sit for hours in a make-up chair every episode.

It won't be nearly so hard for me with Daredevil. Starting with Frank Miller's run, he seemed to go out his way not to involve the rest of the MU, kind of like Claremont tried to do his best to distance his universe from the larger one.

Or the clear cage that Loki ended up in in The Avengers was probably made out of the same Plotdevicium.

Funny you should mention that. I rewatched Enter 77 a couple nights back because I lost track of which two episode were going to be covered today. I'd forgotten how intense Andrews was in that one.

Well, since he was the only X-Man to be able to fly, the early Stan Lee/Jack Kirby issues made pretty decent use of him. But later as the MU expanded, everyone and their grandmothers could fly without actual wings, he became more and more useless.

USA has recently started rerunning first season episodes and it's a shame to see how the show has bloated and crashed and burned since then. It's quite startling to see the OP where it's just Stabler, Benson, Munch and Cragen walking down the hallway in classic L&O tradition.

The recent GamerGate episode was just so damned silly, I treated it as a comedy. Imagine a couple of teenaged hackers making the NYC cops look like idiots for 40 minutes…

Yeah, when they introduced her (and Miss Klugh before her) it just seemed like maybe it was a kind of, sort of, a democracy. But no, it was soon back to just Ben being a dictator and a bunch of others just blindly following along.

One of my favorite things about the current crop of cable "survival" shows are when the players get desperate enough to eat or drink just about anything. At present, my favorite is "Dual Survival," where the rough and ready ex-commando gets prissy about not drinking possibly tainted water, whereas his partner has…
