The military had the doors propped open. The only person who actually closed a door was Strand.

The door did open from both sides, but Nick and Strand didn't have a card to get through. The door was open when they got to it, and after they closed it, the card reader that blinked to show it was locked was on their side of the door.

According to the Talking Dead, there were drafts of the script where Travis went off even earlier - if memory serves, they said there was even one where he beat down Daniel after discovering the basement interrogation.

That was your takeaway from the torture scene (well, yours and, as near as I can tell, about half to two thirds of the people watching, but my point is it wasn't the universal takeaway from it).

The "humane extermination" was the plan for the sick people at the base, not for the people in the neighborhood. They were just going to abandon the people in the neighborhood.

Exactly. He was saying "I haven't been part of society for a while. Now there's no society for anyone to be part of."

Maybe, but remember that Daniel didn't notice that Andy was missing until they got to the parking garage, meaning that bringing him at least that far was actually part of Daniel's plan. I have a hard time believing he'd trust Andy enough to bring him in with them during the rescue and just hope he didn't betray them,…

I was glad she survived just because I do not need next season to be filled with Daniel incessantly blaming Travis for getting his daughter killed with his lack of manly willingness to murder the innocent.

Zombies run when a Good Man goes to war.

It's kind of hard to sympathize with the leads when you realize how many innocent people they got killed just to rescue a junkie, someone who turned out to already be dead, and someone who would have been airlifted out and survived if they hadn't freed the zombies but instead ended up getting bitten.

I've long thought - since even before the Walking Dead TV show - that there's an interesting series to be made about a vacation cruise ship at sea when a zombie apocalypse happens. You've got basically a small floating city packed with people, food, medical supplies, shops, etc., but since it's a civilian operation…

I thought he meant less "I'm surprised we still use oil" and more "I'm surprised there's any oil left."

He wasn't the rich asshole, he was the corporate asshole. He was Burke from Aliens or Gennaro from Jurassic Park. It's a similar but not identical role. If he'd been the rich asshole, his dialogue about wanting to clarify who had the rights to the spaceship would be replaced with lines like "No one damage that thing -…

Yeah, the way I originally wrote my comment it looked like I was saying the trope popped up in all the X-Men movies except for "First Class and the two Wolverine movies" (i.e., four of seven movies). I edited my comment to make it clear I meant that it popped up in all the (team) X-Men movies except First Class and it…

I'm guessing you're only familiar with the movies because of your description of the spherical room. In the comics they've had all sorts of different Cerebro setups, including portable ones and ones that put displays up on screens for other people to see. If memory serves, the big spherical room didn't appear in the…

I bet that line, when it was written, was supposed to be sarcastic, as in "Gee, don't tell them I got shot? Glad you mentioned it 'cause I was going to go in there and just say 'Hey I was doing crime and someone shot me' - oh, hey, should I not mention the crime part too?"

You forgot evil CEO woman and Harris just laying out their evil plans and passing around a katana while strolling through the lobby of the evil corporation that was still open to the public to the point that no one looked twice at a teenager wandering around taking pictures despite the fact that the building had just…

I knew Harris was a self-replicator the moment they introduced him as "Harris (Prime)" and I've been assuming Katana Girl is a mental construct of some other superhuman and not a biological person so I assumed he was about to use that cleaver to show her that she's made of hard light or something and not flesh and…

To be fair, I've never been to a convention panel where I wouldn't have applauded someone being dragged out kicking and screaming, though it would have to be an audience member in the middle of asking one of those "questions" where they just talk about themselves for five minutes then cap it off with "anyway, what's…

Man, you better not let Medusa hear you saying that.
