They'll give him a stroke and force him to ding a bell to communicate. Somehow, he's still Batman.

Dar: Whew, that was a hard day. Can't wait to get back to the breeding grotto and tend to the larv—
Coworker: Wha?
Dar: —home. Can't wait to get back home. Is what I meant to say.

I feel like "never leave the store completely unattended with customers present" and "display cases need locks" should have been covered in Gun Store Owner 101. Now, "don't leave convenient duffel bag laying right next to gun cabinet" is admittedly 200-level material.

Who else thought that we might finally be done with Desi when he tried to start the bike while high? Maybe killing off someone like that is too dark for this show. I would have liked to see Marnie deal with the fact that her music career is dead, although it's looking like she's coming to that realization regardless.

Paige on The Americans is not terrible. There were some stumbles, like that early first season plot where Paige and Henry get a ride home from the mall with a weirdo. But after recovering from that misstep they've mostly gone on to do interesting things with Paige; not so much with Henry, but he's at least not

He was apparently too stupid to realize that those pods he saw were important intelligence and didn't even feel it necessary to mention it to his parents, who are, you know, deeply involved with the resistance.

Wait, I'm confused. Zooey Deschanel is pregnant with her second child, so I thought this Portland thing would be a cover for taking time off again. But there's only two more episodes left in the season, so that can't possibly be. Whatever they have in mind for a resolution is going to have to happen quickly. I

It's interesting that the clip was posted on December 5, 2015. Really reminds you how long it takes to produce anything animated.

The company he was working for at the time was in the process of firing him (for being too shady) on the day of the attack, which is why he wasn't in the office with the rest of his coworkers. When they died, he pounced on the opportunity to weasel back in, eventually taking over the company and renaming it after

Hey, did you guys know that Homeland has already been renewed for two more seasons (through season 8), way back in August before this season even aired? I did not know that until today. I was kind of hoping that Showtime would let the show die a graceful death, but no, this thing will be around forever, in classic

I appreciated the sight gag of the toilet on the roof of the car. Not even strapped down or anything, just sitting there.

Apparently Sasha Roiz is of Russian Jewish descent, and grew up in Montreal, thus being able to speak Russian and French. Who knew?

Oh my god that falling CGI. What in the hell was that? It looked like someone wrote up a budget and forgot that they needed that shot, so they got some intern with a copy of After Effects to cobble something together.

I quite like Parminder Nagra but dear lord am I happy to not have to listen to her struggle through an American accent any more. I get that for this character it wouldn't have made sense if she spoke with a British accent, but please in the future, just let her speak naturally.

Sssshhhheeeeeeeiiiit!

The Michaela and Wes flashback scene was excellent. It was the most human and likable those two characters have ever been, to me at least. If the show was holding back all this time just to make a point about how rosy memories can seem, then damn, that was well earned.

I honestly thought this episode was going to be Tina finally getting what she wanted and realizing that what she wanted was a mirage and that Jimmy Jr. is not a worthy goal. That seems like a more realistic story of how eighth grade romances tend to work out.

I was goddamn furious when I saw Jacqueline Toboni still listed as a guest star in the opening credits and not a series regular. Show, you only have thirteen episodes. If you try to pull some horseshit of having Trubel not present in every last one of these precious remaining episodes, we are going to have a

The trailer was his fortress of solitude. He keeps his farts in bottles and then goes there to let them out. He was crying because the farts were like his children, and he was sad to let them go.

He bores them to death. Final scene of the season is Eugene prattling around in a room talking on and on about sorghum, surrounded by a bunch of skeletons with white hair.
