go on.

This is the exact opposite of what I wanted when I saw the title.

I AM DISAPPOINT.

The warm Fresca you find in your parents' pantry, that you drink sadly because it's the only thing there is.

Well, I did love the bit a few episodes back with, "There's a Connery Bond I haven't seen yet?"

Hey now, let's get something perfectly clear.

Sort of the beauty of cheap first-run syndication. Enough stations needed something to fill a half hour to keep it going, and no one was really overseeing the show beyond making sure it stayed in budget. Probably even more so for something Family Friendly.

Well, HBO doesn't re-run it, and while it's on Hulu (or was? maybe not anymore), it seems you can only find the edited-for-TBS version. Which, in addition to removing the nudity, strips it of a lot of its bite.

Many years ago, I heard Don Bellisario (producer of Quantum Leap, JAG and other shows) talk about how, on any given show, the network would be sending notes to the writers' room about writing scenes where the female lead was in a bikini or her underwear or such. Apparently on JAG, it was Catherine Bell constantly…

He writes a good "normal guy gets involved in magical world hidden beneath our own, emerges changed" story, but it's pretty much what he writes.

I do feel like there's a fanbase that has wrung a whole lot of stuff out of what exists. Like, I saw a whole thing extolling the virtues of Molly, and was all, "That's a lot mote about Molly than actually made any impression on me." Like— Molly? Has maybe five lines in any given episode?

Well, damn, now I have to wait thirty years to see Freeman play Lear.

(checks the list)

Truth. This show is about as subtle as a sledgehammer, and proudly so.

Will Smith and Martin Lawrence have confirmed it.

Works differently is the best to thing to say. They do completely different things with structure in tune with the medium.

It's a War-lane Highway.

And significantly drunker.

That's accomplished by setting it on fire and the pissing the fire out.

Right. The "saving" scenes in BvS made it seem like, Yes, Superman will save you,.. at the cost of your soul.
