It's obvious that the context for the excerpted quote is combat duty.

I think she's a fantastic character but would be very unlikeable in real life (setting aside the undead thing, just talking about her personality).

Even more annoying, "Studio 60" (the show-within-a-show) was modeled to be exactly like SNL, essentially supplanting the supposed cultural importance that SNL has in the real world - except within its fictional universe SNL also existed and was frequently name-checked. That was idiotic.

I'm way too late, but I'm just watching this season now - did anyone else catch the Easter egg about Diablo the stallion? That's the horse belonging to the Cisco Kid.

If the last shot we see is Anakin falling into lava…

Yes, Anakin spouts lines about believing the Jedi are evil from his point of view, but there's just…NOTHING behind his words. It would be one thing if Christiansen played it as self-serving and deceptive, like Anakin will say and do anything to save Padme…but he delivers the lines straight, right after he got done…

Good point. Maybe Lucas just painted himself into a corner on this one.

The Prequels have two insurmountable problems:

It was ridiculous to expect a Saturday morning cartoon to show bloody slaughter.

Let's see…running down IMDb quickly, the following King adaptations/projects stand out to me as being at least worth watching:

If I remember right, Eddie Kaspbrak ran up and used his breath spray (which he had used on Pennywise as a kid, shouting that it was "battery acid") and distracted the monster, but got eaten, and then they all just ran up to the spider and ripped it apart? I think that's what happened.

Ugh. THE TOMMYKNOCKERS. That was maybe the worst of the ABC King miniseries batch.

He also played the creepy-as-fuck Aryan prison guard who helped break Beecher's arms and legs in OZ. Then the next season Beecher filed his nails razor-sharp and ripped his face off. I realize I didn't answer your question but the idea of the guy from COACH doing that will be eternally shocking to me.

Mick Garris seems like such a cool, knowledgeable guy in his TRAILERS FROM HELL commentaries. I really wish I liked his movies more. But they're usually just okay at best.

But the trailers which played in theaters a year earlier were titled THE FLOOD, which is why I mentioned it.

No, Napster was simply one factor in MTV's transformation, but it's perhaps the most significant one, if not the primary one. The turn to reality programming (ugh) far predates it, going back at least to the premiere of THE REAL WORLD in 1992. But I think that crap only took over the channel after its music video…

No, the decline of music videos on MTV predated YouTube's 2005 by several years. It began in earnest in the late '90s. Napster began in 1999. It's probably oversimplifying to blame it all on Napster, but, not by much.

I don't know, it seems EXACTLY like the brief Dark Chloe phase in the second or third season of SMALLVILLE, though. It obviously will end with her being contrite and trying to make amends.

Or going back even further, "scientific romance."

Just to be pedantic: there's no hyphen. It's just "science fiction."
