I have a feeling Cat took over Lyle's role (presuming actor availability was an issue) but she never really justified the fuss over doing any of that. As it is, I would have loved to have seen Lyle in that final lineup :'(.

Halfway through this season, I realised John Clare finally had the storyline Proteus got three minutes into before being bifurcated.

Australia has socialised medicine AND access to Pandora. BOOYAH!

Hecate has definitely been to more awkward and more murderous dinners than this one.

I assumed they were building up to Dorian as a final Big Bad, ever since sex with him made Vanessa go all possess-y and even more so now that he and Brona have their Master Race plot.

I won't argue the quality of the later seasons but those themes were certainly intended throughout. I mean, I've watched and read enough behind the scenes interviews to say so. (I'd say though that Season 7 is about being an adult and being in power and how that sucks)

I've always thought that season 4 has the writers at the height of their powers for individual episodes but at a loss for the arc. Conversely, season 5 has a great arc but some very iffy individual episodes.

1) This is dumb — everything gets cancelled eventually. But, if you're talking about shows that actually got a chance to end properly, Syfy gave Haven, Defiance, BSG, Warehouse 13, US Being Human, Eureka proper endings. The shows that tend to not get proper endings are the ones that aren't renewed for a second season…

During high school, I was always the first to wake up in the house. Upon attempting to make toast in a sleepy daze, I find the bag of bread has been chewed out something fierce by a mouse. I dump the bag back onto the table and go make some cereal.

Don’t forget the Dewey Decimal System is your friend!

I can only come at this from my perspective but I definitely valued seeing gay characters on my TV. Otherwise, I wouldn't have even had a positive conception of queer sexuality. Maybe this isn't 1:1 applicable to race and there is still racism goddamn everywhere. But I think representation is important as part of a…

It’s not like she’s a survivor of physical abuse under the threat of flaying or torture if she resists! No, totes consensual.

Also it should be “Fremantle.” Sigh.

He was basically the One Good Writer on Heroes who wrote Company Man and returned to the show for a bit, managing to pull it out of a nosedive for a bit before Kring finished the show off. Pushing Daisies, (six episodes of) Dead Like Me and Wonderfalls are certainly the shows closest to Fuller’s sense of storytelling…

Prop Master: "Enter a room with 16+ Victorian era Ping Pong tables." …Fuck.

I wonder what those horse extras make. Did that featured horse who almost killed Hecate get a guest star credit?

If this lamp and/or fridge is naked, I am completely sold.

Even if both substances dissolve, the Diviner metal touches a fish then it gets crispy-stoned and dies, leaving the pure mist fish to be caught.

I didn't read "StarkTech" so I just imagined a floppy skinbag hanging off of Coulson's stump.

Yes! They did a great job contextualising Jiaying's actions this week. I really love that she's basically the same before and after her turn. The performance works so much better because of it.
