On the Captain America and Mjolnir thing. I prefer to think Cap was always able to lift Mjolnir, but lacked the confidence to do so in Age of Ultron. It was a mental block, not a moral one. I thought so at the time, as it was obvious even to Thor that Cap should have been able to lift it.

Nathan Fillion and Richard T Jones too.

This sucks! I love this show. And I don’t think it had any trouble balancing the humor with the body count. The only real problem it had was holding on to great supporting actors who were given their own shows.

I appreciate their commitment to this bit, but I think it is going to be almost impossible to surpass their Go West video.

Just today, after reading that Romance Meets Comedy piece on Say Anything, I was thinking it was time for someone to cast Cusack in a prestige TV show. He’s been wallowing around in the never-released-in-theaters-thriller market for a lot of years now.

Haven’t watched the Comedian yet and may skip it. The coda was definitely a mistake on Nightmare. Don’t need two ironic twists and this isn’t Tales from the Crypt, where everyone needs to be individuallly ppunished

You forgot about Jeremiah, a not-bad post-apocalyptic show he starred in with Malcolm Jamal Warner for Showtime. It was a starring role for him and the first time I really got to like him.

I didn’t start with the Buffyverse until the 2nd Season of Angel. My friends at my fraternity would occasionally watch Buffy, but I had no interest. I think the first episode I saw was either the second-season ending Pylea arc or maybe the one where Wesley impersonates Angel, but eventually I got hooked. It was before…

Probably right to Guardians, but Winter Soldier is still, for my money, the best Avengers movie, at least until Thor: Ragnarok . Lots of good reasons, but probably because it is the first one to actually be an action movie. So much of the action is based on actual stunt work rather than CGI fight scenes, that it makes…

Here’s hoping this works out for Kenan, but if anyone would have been better off doing like Phil Hartman with Newsradio it’s him. I think he’d be much better off as the laugh machine in an ensemble than trying to do the straight man thing.

I thought they made a real mistake putting the Dalek back in the armor. The creepy controller Dalek was a nice change and making it a hunt from person to person into the communication center would have been more interesting than shooting tanks.

I liked this episode a lot, particularly after it was revealed Noth wasn’t playing this universe’s Trump. At first it seemed dumb to have two hotel developers running for president, but it turned out it was easier to enjoy the character without it being a direct Trump stand in. Noth was great too. He can be very…

I liked the episode alot and hope Janet’s technological abilities allow for more Good Place weirdness, but right now I am more interested in the story about Satan that you told Dennis. Where does it come from and is it possible to find a full version?

That’s interesting and I didn’t know she’d said that. Doesn’t significantly change my point though. They could have had The Doctor and companions say that it was important to them that Rosa Parks be the one to start the boycott, but the idea that the boycott and its impact were based on chance and not concerted action…

Old Quantum Leap episodes are exactly what I was thinking of.

That’s the opposite of what I am saying. I am saying the Doctor should have failed to help Parks on the day before (we now know) the event actually happened, because of some interference or whatever. But have it actually happen the next day when neither the Doctor or the bad guy are looking, because Rosa Parks not…

I agree with everything you say about the presentation, which was great, but disagree vehemently about how they depicted the history and what that means for time travel. As you say, but which the show doesn’t really acknowledge except by saying Parks was an activist, her action was planned. No doubt she was just…

Interesting to see that in the Santa clip, the bleeped out Santa asking if Charlie was (R-word) but left in all the "Fucks".

I finished the episodes before I read these, and I wonder if you haven’t done the same, watching the end before writing up this episode. Because neither the shifting room nor Abigail were clear to me in this episode. In fact, the fact Abigail was real was one of the gut punches of the finale.

Lots of this episode was great, but they overdid it with the long, uninterrupted shots, particularly the first twenty minutes in the funeral home. No doubt there was some editing trickery, but there were also a lot of long takes with the spinning camera and you could see some of the actors struggling, particularly the…
