Which is why a proper fanwank has to begin with the premise that he didn't actually freeze the lasers; it only looked like he did.

Hey, every other species in the universe is welcome to submit a contestant. So far humans have been the only ones to complete the application form correctly.

I'm pretty sure technically it's "nunchaku" - no "s" on the plural - but "nunchucks" is to "nunchaku" as "wanna" is to "want to." It's a very common colloquial form of the original.

I do wonder how it would have gone over if they'd shown the animated Clone Wars movie that actually was released theatrically.

No worries. I was actually trying to do the same thing you were, suggesting that "the final chase scene" and "the whole movie" were one and the same thing.

Isn't that what it says up on the list there?

Actually it's "Tennant."

Same here. It isn't bad, but it isn't good enough to pay for.

Maybe he's hoping it will make anyone considering taking legal action against him wait to see how this plays out before going forward with it.

Sheldon has an (allegedly) eidetic memory and grew up with a sister with tastes and interests that were drastically different from his own. If it had been a recent song it would have been weird (though they still could have explained it as something that came on the radio when Leonard or Penny gave him a ride…

Non-English speakers would be a great way to go if you wanted to write a story in which someone was clever enough to get the drop on Kilgrave, but I can see how to make it backfire if you wanted to write a story in which someone was almost but not quite clever enough to get the drop on him: "I wanted to tell them to…

People bring this up a lot, but there's no reason to think that would work unless you also couldn't see him. (SPOILERS for later in the season: you'll notice that the only time someone did use headphones to keep from hearing him, they also had a hoodie pulled down over their eyes and kept their gaze on the floor). For…

Have they said what state National City is in? I live in the Midwest and in my entire life I've only experienced one earthquake that I actually noticed, and by "noticed" I mean "heard a window rattle and wondered if a truck was going by or something, then found out the next morning that there'd been an earthquake the…

The big problem with making Danny Rand Asian-American is that, when he goes to K'un Lun and becomes better at Kung Fu than the people who invented it, there's the implication that the magic ingredient was being raised in America. "Americans are just better at stuff" isn't really much better than "white people are just…

So you're saying McKinnon is the only one who wasn't in on the plot to kill Piscopo?

I get what you mean - too many reviews (not just at the AV Club) veer into "let's check in with the reviewer's latest obsession" territory - but to be fair, the cold open was a Trump sketch. It was at least germane this week. If they do a sketch teasing Ryan Gosling in a couple of weeks, this week's show will probably…

I seem to remember one of the recurring plotlines on the old run of the show being that one of the Master's goals, having used up all his regenerations, was to steal the Doctor's remaining regenerations. So not only can they grant more lives, they can transfer them from one person to another.

I'm pretty sure my parents would have understood it intellectually, but my mom would have mildly resented the implication that she should be seeing or not seeing certain movies just because she's a woman and my dad would have considered "F"-rated movies like documentaries about ethnic cleansing: it's good that people…

That's pretty much the number everyone agrees on (except for people who don't agree that it felt too long and people who didn't like the show at all, but, you know, the more metaphorical value of "everyone"). I thought that every episode of the show worked individually, but when you watch them all in a row, (SPOILERS)…

Does that mean that if you touch a boner, it'll explode?
