I gave it four. I regret doing so. Reading this recap makes me very happy that I removed it from my watch list.

I plan to go back and binge again to see what I missed.

I binged the first season after it was done, and after watching it as scheduled, and it was much better that way.

Person Of Interest. There's a lot of internal cross-pollinating, and the producers have been canny enough to throw little bits of business into the procedural that turn it into a quickly developing serial. Banging through the first three and a half seasons connects the dots very well indeed.

In a radical twist, the character you love most of all survives the entire book and goes into the next one in a position of complete safety. Also, there's a wedding and nobody gets killed, or even threatened, all of the staff get paid handsomely, and the fare is simple and quickly described.

Wild Cards keeps bouncing between a series development and a film project. Melinda Snodgrass is running that, though, and I haven't seen anything from her about the project in a while.

I did some work on visual effects for Nightflyers...had so much fun with it, which just confirmed me as a toy nerd I suspect.

The novel is far, far better.

Looks like that’s happening on The Flash.

The Mousehole.

Tom Cavanaugh had said a while back that they'd included an new element in the Reverse Flash story that nobody was going to guess before it was revealed. I think this is what he was talking about. I sure as hell was blindsided by it, and for a moment thought it was Eddie Cosnett in aging makeup, until I realized it…

Yes! I was right on the money there. Interesting casting, not sure it'll work, but we'll see. Darvill is a good actor.

Denstone College, at Denstone, Derbyshire, yes indeed. I was a holy terror there for a while in the 1970s, initially in Talbot House, with Mr. Ridley in charge.

"Master" in the context of a child is a now-archaic term that's fallen out of use in England outside of the Eton Rifles kinds of boarding schools. I was addressed in documents and letters, and in the classroom, as "Master" until I was, what, fifteen? In the classroom context it often heralded trouble.

The imagery and storyline actually seem to hint at the remains of the story from the Brosnan-era Beyond The Ice project that eventually got completely overhauled and turned into Die Another Day. The story had a lot to do with the mysterious deaths of Bond's parents, and for a while they were talking about trying to…

Interesting that the shot of MI6 at the start shows it still wrecked after the explosion in Skyfall. If anything, it looks even worse.

If it's by Lin Carter, Orson Scott Card, or sundry others...candidate for the punkin chunkin device.

This actually looks more like the 1990s Captain Cold.

My feeling on that was that the Machine wanted to stop Harold, but not in the way that Root was willing to stop. But you're likely right: the Machine has been taught (as we've seen) not to consider Harold's life above the lives of others.

And meanwhile, Reese hooks up with his therapist, Dr. Cannon-Fodder. Want to lay odds on her winding up dead by the end of the season?
