Nathan Fillion was terrific at it in SERENITY as well. He could have been a decent replacement Indy, 10 or 15 years ago. . .

Agreed. I especially like that the artifact in TOD was not Judeo-Christian and that Indy had a completely different set of operatives in a different part of the world.

I loved Sallah and Marcus in RAIDERS, but going back to them (and adding the incredibly-obvious Holy Grail in the place of the considerably…

When Walt came over for dinner, Gus says, “This is a Chilean dish that I love but I never get to make it. Kids won’t eat it.”

I don’t especially care if they confirm whether Gus is gay or not, but I’d really like to know what was up with the signs of kids at his house when Walt came over for dinner. What does family dinner at House Fring look like?

I’m really not getting the Tilly comparisons. Both actress have light, curly hair, and their characters are over- or somewhat enthusiastic. That’s about it.

(I will say Pill’s character on THE NEWSROOM was fairly Tilly-ish, and I was relived to see her PICARD character has about 8000x more confidence. So while I might…

I agree. If we’re supposed to believe that Picard did nothing else for the Romulan cause after his post-resignation scene with Raffi. . . well, I don’t buy it. I need one more beat, seeing Picard trying to help the Romulans without Starfleet resources and something goes even more horribly wrong and it breaks what’s…

The Hustons are certainly notable for having three generations, as are the Barrymores. Any others like that besides the Elliots? (Bob/Chris/Abby)

Since neither Lwaxana or her husband speak with that accent, my fanwank explanation is that the Trois left Deanna with a family friend for an extended period in her formative years. Deanna started to speak like the caregiver while her parents were away. When they got back, Lwaxana was SO furious at the sound of Deanna’…

Latifah could be okay, but having watched the original out of the corner of my eye back in the day and missing the British-ness of it all in Denzel’s version. . . I’m picturing Helen Mirren as McCall and now nothing else will do. ; )

In fairness, he goes to Africa on a diplomatic mission in khakis, then peels down to just the pants once the mission goes to shit and he starts swinging around on vines and such. He should probably be naked, sure (my wife certainly thought so) but keeping the pants probably is more “realistic” than conveniently finding…

Famer’s retcon is that the note actually said “White Skin” (the English translation of the ape-language “Tarzan”) and that Tarzan’s “biographer” Burroughs got it wrong.

Farmer’s book TARZAN ALIVE becomes a bit of a slog after a while, but the short story “An Interview With Lord Greystoke” is terrific.

As fun as Kate’s Satan was, they should have had someone else as Dersh and used Lovitz’s take on The Devil:

I’m a mediocre regular at a karaoke bar. One night, the local news was in shooting a segment promoting the place, so I stayed waaaay clear of the stage while the regular good singers (plus a few ringers) killed a bunch of songs and got interviewed.

After about an hour, the tv crew packs up and leaves. Figuring I was…

I’m a pretty handy guy who likes watching onscreen renovation but found THIS OLD HOUSE a bit slow and the A&E flipping shows kinda gross in their avarice. So when I discovered HGTV a few years ago I found it a bit of an upgrade, enjoyment-wise. FIXER UPPER was pretty good for a while, and PROPERTY BROTHERS was…

Not necessarily. If Batman has abandoned Gotham (and I’m behind on BATWOMAN so I apologize if they’ve specified WHY - the hadn’t, last time I saw an ep), then sending Damien to live with The Kents isn’t inconceivable.

It’s also certainly possible the rumors are incorrect and Damien Wayne won’t be on SUPERMAN AND LOIS.

It was implied that Earth -38/SUPERGIRL’s Superman knew a Batman, and BATWOMAN obviously has an (offscreen) one.

Did it strike anyone else that the POTUS scene must have been written for a Special Guest Star that the production couldn’t land? That was a loooong speech delivered by somone with not much presence. Bruce Boxleitner isn’t exactly Olivier, but he registered at least. The new president was a complete nonentity, IMO.

Some people think the casting descriptions for the two kids on SUPERMAN AND LOIS sound like Jonathan and Damien Wayne. So maybe “the boys” doesn’t refer to two sons. . . ?

I guess he was stealing it from Patton Oswalt:

I forget if it’s my buddy’s impression or he’s imitating a standup he saw, but his Nolte Han Solo always slays me (type will not do it justice):
