    "Who" is a subject, "whom" is an object. Nine times out of ten, if someone's doing something, they're a "who," and if somethings being done to or for someone, they're a "whom." Examples:

    In general I like this episode a lot, but round about the time Michonne's group arrived at the small town en route to Alexandria it occurred to me that they were way to far out to hear that truck horn. Horns are loud, but not "heard for miles around" loud. And I didn't think Morgan headed back that much earlier than

    Glenn's gonna pull an Egg Shen. When Michonne and the others get back to Alexandria he'll already be there and the only explanation he'll give for how he got there will be "wasn't easy."

    When the Doctor first mentioned that he'd traveled with an immortal before, I thought he was talking about Romana. Obviously, in context, he actually meant "human who'd become immortal," since his experiences with other Time Lords wouldn't necessarily be relevant to the prospect of Ashildir becoming his companion, but

    Oh geez, you just know they're going to do that in the big climax of the show. If not "Go to hell" then something like it - having him thinking of the game Miko came from or the moon or nowhere at all, leaving us to wonder at the ultimate fate of whomever he whammied.

    John Tesh is close.

    They hate the fire department on Brooklyn Nine-Nine too (or at least Peralta hated the fire chief played by Patton Oswalt). I think the idea that the police and fire departments are rivals is a trope now.

    That's why I put "gold" in quotes.

    Was it Futurama where they dubbed the parallel Earths "Earth 1" and "Earth A" because no one was willing to be the secondary Earth?

    The frozen lasers were silly as all getout, but if one tries hard enough, one can fanwank anything. Let's see … the reason the cold gun makes an ice shell around a target instead of just forming a solid beam of ice from the barrel of the gun is that the beam it fires is basically inert until it comes in contact with a

    I can help you on point 4: the kid had stuffed explosives down the front of his shirt while shopping* and Gordon's bullet hit them. The rest of what you said .., yeah, that all checks out.

    He was almost as memorable as the disposable crazy people that got busted out alongside Barbara and Unjoker. The show's commitment to developing its background characters is near Simpsonian.

    I maintain that there's a version of this show that could be made and not have that problem. The problem is that the key to that version of the show would be focusing on mundane villains that aren't larval versions of Batman's rogues gallery (in other words, villains that not only CAN be beaten, but HAVE TO because

    She's been in Alexandria for a while but she makes regular excursions outside and could have run into the Wolves any time after she arrived. If she is a Wolf, I doubt she's been one for very long.

    Yes! I was gritting my teeth as he inched down the hall, thinking the best we could hope for was that they were going to have him just get winged like the time Andrea shot Daryl. I mean, the (pseudo)pacifist getting shot by the woman who was too afraid to defend herself after the battle was already over? There's so

    I flip-flopped on that throughout the episode. In the scene where he convinces her to stay with him during the attack, when she pulled her knife while his back on her, I was bracing myself for her to stab him. She even had a classic seemingly-reassuring-but-actually-ominous traitory line of dialogue, when he says

    Where in the world are the editors who know anything about Carmen Sandiego?

    Holy crap, that makes SO much more sense than what I thought he was saying. I thought he said "Sak's Fifth Tie Shop: Tie Shop the side of Sak's Fifth" which … I mean, that's not exactly nonsensical, but it's not exactly a joke either.

    I don't know if it was intentional or just her surprised reaction to Tracy stumbling over his line, but the way her eyes widened at the end of the Astronaut Jones sketch was ridiculously adorable.

    Clara asked "Odin" that exact question and he told her it was because of the sonic sunglasses. Presumably he meant that the Vikings shouldn't have had technology like that so they grabbed them, maybe just to figure out why they had it, maybe just to see if it was something they could use. Heck, maybe the soldiers were
