Since money and speech are the same, as certified by your Supreme Court, that is hardly a surprise point, is it?

Agreed, agreed and agreed. Though my number one ranked exemplary non-judgmental handling remains Claire on Six Feet Under. Sad that it took ten years for other shows to come close to that again.

only then he picks up that conflict ball and goes after the bus driver.

I saw and liked her in Transformers, but that role wasn't exactly a test for advanced acting skills. This role is definitely better than that.

Not at all. I thought the dynamic was well played. (If anything he deserved credit for general situational awareness, accommodating stubbornness, and for not saying "Told you so" after the ensuing debacle.)

True that. But if she becomes a regular feature, and keeps setting Jane straight when needed, it could open possibilities for a REALLY interesting story arc and dynamic with abuela.

Yeah, gotta hate a healthy relationship. True (teenage) heroines only deserve painful, unhappy drama with tortured souls hundreds of years their senior (sorry, I always found the whole Angel thing creepy as hell). Well, at least B herself knew she made a mistake. - Go ahead, downvote away! ;-)

exactly. he was just talking to Loki to distract from the fact that he was getting the upgraded suit.

Just out of curiosity - in which part of NY is the show supposed to take place? AFter all, there was more than one NY-based MCU 'incident', right?

Yeah. Hump like there is no tomorrow, but put on undies before walking into the bathroom…

My kind of universe…

And what is Morena Baccarin without him? I was so excited when she joined Gotham, thinking it might add some spark, and got one of the biggest actor-related WTF?!? moments ever…

Lotz, Miller and Purcell snarking in the badass corner while perky Ray and plucky Jax geek out at being heros? Rory gets to turn Doctor AND kindergarden teacher for the crew? Victor Garber just eye-rolling at the sidelines? Oh, I think I get it…

I'm not quite there yet with the show, but admittedly I find Jane increasingly irritating as well. When that nanny refused to work for "someone like you!", I cheered. Having to eat some humble pie with the professor served her well, too. Finally somebody teaches her some boundaries - having been the 'adult' in her…

A+ for the review. Thanks Oliver for sorting out that big bag of mixed feelings I had with a few clear words.

The topic and the person were different, but the dramatic setup of the episode arc will sound familiar: A big bill has been negotiated just in time before a big weekend, everybody celebrates, the one person who wants to have a conversation is ignored. When the time of the vote comes, the person takes the stand and…

Totally agree. I found myself asking "Seen Ant-Man?" several times while reading (warning, Ant-Man spoliers!):
* Two lead characters both driven by simple parental motives? Check.
* A showdown with no more at stake than one little girl's life? Check.
* An *epic* CGI battle so BIG it…derails a toy train? Check. (And…

I think you should give Grace more credit. Computers in different rooms makes a more three-dimensional soundscape! *gg*

I've read through all the comments you triggered here, and can't help but note that the major point you implied seemed lost in the argument - that the abortion does not happen in a vacuum. It is a decision that interacts with other decisions in your life. Most importantly in this context, that in a committed…

Is it sad that the 'first time having fun watching in a long time' was due to a blatant copy of the West Wing's 'Stackhouse Filibuster'? Down to the 'accidental' discovery of the possibility to break for a question?
