One thing about Prison Break that seems pretty noncontroversial is that it was not an obvious candidate for resurrection.

Yes because getting coffee for a crazy harridan is just a relaxing as being a billionaire playboy.

And figured that there might be an American audience for a show that doesn't hate Americans, if that somehow wasn't clear.

You'd need to flag the show's writers, comic-writers, and and comic-readers.

So at least one studio exec heard that American Sniper did okay, even if no AV Club reviewers did.

Right, because Supergirl just can't cut it in a man's world.

Or are you saying that it's because she's a girl that she can't take the pressure?

Surely that show is already on the air somewhere.

Am I the only person who thinks that sucking up to a crazy woman is not an efficient use of a superhero's time?
Why, after Nolan's Batman and Whedon's Avengers, do adaptations persist in such slavish obedience to comic book tropes?

Naturally, that idiot would be waving around an uncharged, half-loaded pistol.

Revenge of the Secretary!, Or, Blah blah blah, blah, blah blah.

The most they could do is raise the price of oil to the $50-60 range at which most American wells are commercial, and that only if Saudi Arabia permitted it.

How is it that Carl doesn't even appear in this episode?

I think you're correct, but it's changed in that it spends a lot more time showcasing its confusion than it used to.

Why, now of all times, suggest that Russia is in a position to drive gas to $7.00 a gallon?

I'm surprised that the show has chosen to be so forthright in its portrayal of the First Lady's deeply troubling mental illness.

What's the deal with DC and generic city names? E.g., Star City, National City, Metropolis, etc.
