    Better Call Saul

    Yeah, Saul's a weasel. He'll go to the highest bidder, feelings be damned. He was clearly afraid of (or, at the very least, intimidated by) Walt, yet continued working for him, even after the shit hit the fan with Gus and very likely put his life in danger. Even if Saul is scared of Mike, I...

    Suicide Squad (2016)

    There were rumors of Joker showing up in Batman v. Superman. There are a lot of people comparing this to Guardians of the Galaxy, but I'm betting DC isn't willing to take that big of a risk, which is why we a few A-listers heading up the cast. Joker was probably thrown in there just so they had...

    [NO Spoilers] Star Wars: Episode 7 - NO PUSSY SHIT

    Depending how much input Abrams has after this film (since he won't be directing the other two), my guess would be Michael Giacchino. He seems to be Abrams' go-to guy when it comes to scoring (Lost, Alcatraz, Fringe, Super 8, Alias, both Star Treks). Probably not a bad thing, since I sort of...

    Terminator Genisys (2015)

    If I recall, part of it was also the fact that FOX wanted to clear a slot on Friday and it was between cancelling that or cancellingDollhouse. FOX didn't want a repeat ofFireflyand cancelled the better show instead of risking the wrath of the Whedonites.

    Peanuts

    I'm just glad they avoided the temptation of turning this into yet another live-action abomination.

    Parks and Rec

    The showrunner knewthey were doing to be renewedbeforethey came up with the time jump: According to him, that episode was never intended to serve as a series finale. It came about more because they wrote themselves into a corner with a lot of storylines. And, I think the fact that he said this...

    Constantine

    There's also the fact that Constantine's other sidekick is boring by comparison. He seems to exist purely as exposition for Constantine's backstory and so someone can get killed every week. Zedd being "at art class" probably wouldn't have been as noticeable if they filled out his character some.

    Parks and Rec

    Because between syndication, streaming rights, and DVD sales, a lot of money in television is now madeaftera show goes off the air. NBC may make a lot of stupid decisions, but I think bringing a show back for a final, closing season isn't one of them and will pay off for them in the long run...

    Parks and Rec

    NBC has decided to double up episodes of the final season. It will premiereJanuary 13th and end February 24th. I guess NBC wants to dump this from their schedule as fast as possible.

    Constantine

    I'm guessing the writers didn't know NBC was going to hold the show's premiere until late October rather than early September.

    [NO Spoilers] Star Wars: Episode 7 - NO PUSSY SHIT

    Arndt, the screenwriter Lucas and Kennedy choose, was ousted or quitlast year, leaving Abrams and Kasdan to oversee it. Considering Kasdan's involvement with the original trilogy, it's probably not a bad thing that he was moved from consulting to writing. But really, so long as Lucas isn't...

    [NO Spoilers] Star Wars: Episode 7 - NO PUSSY SHIT

    Honestly, I can see where Abrams would want to incorporate more modern cinematography in the new trilogy. This is the first time the (official) Star Wars universe has moved forward in over 30 years. It makes sense that he'd want to give this trilogy a fresher feeling so the progression in time...

    It'd be nice if, instead of having Walt's father come down every week to tell Constantine about the impending war and his role in it, we actually got to see said war...

    Gotham

    After this episode, I say screw Gordon. Leave him in Arkham. I wouldn't mind this becoming a Harvey and Alfred buddy cop show. They said they're intentionally keeping it ambiguous. I don't think they wanted to be trapped into doing the origin story for a modern-day Batman (which would place...

    Jurassic Park 4

    Spielberg is just listed as an executive producer, so who knows how much involvement he actually has? But judging by his recent television credits (Under the Dome, Falling Skies, Terra Nova, etc.), he stopped caring about what sort of product his name is associated with a while ago. Sadly...

    Hopefully he's not a Ranger. Movie will be like 15 minutes long.

    Jurassic Park 4

    The amount of CGI in that trailer makes me think this movie isn't going to age anywhere near as well asJurassicPark. A while ago, the director leaked a picture ofa statue of Hammond, which would seem to indicate that the first move plays a part in this world.

    Constantine

    It's the safest move for NBC at this point since the show is on the fence. It isn't doing well enough to commit to it, but it isn't doing so bad (by NBC standards - especially on a Friday night) to cancel it. The inconsistent ratings and large live+3day bump means the show still has the...

    Constantine

    It bounced back some this week to1.1 with a 38% jumpin key demographics. It's not doing great, but at the same time, it's retaining a large number of Grimm's viewers and therefore isn't doing much worse. Considering how inconsistent the ratings have been (down on weeks 2 and 4, up on weeks 3...

    Gotham

    One of my biggest gripes with this show is how they are just introducing Batman's rogue's gallery way too fast and doing very little to develop most of them. Rather than having Dent have a temper and immediately be just as questionable as everyone else, they should've started with him being...

    Survivor

    I think this season is really proving that whatever concept they come up with for the season is worthless if they don't pick a solid cast. BvW1 was excellent, while BvW2 is one of the most boring seasons we've had. I seriously don't think I've ever gotten this far into the season without...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    So this is what it looks like when a studio is desperate to have their own cinematic universe but only has one property to work with. I can't wait for the Mary Jane movie where we watch her struggle to become an actress!

    Wasn't there a rumor a while ago that Titan involved time travel?

    Overwatch

    Sort of reminds me of SMNC, so that alone has me excited. It'll be great to see what can be done with that style of gameplay with a competent development team behind it.

    Gotham

    I have to say, I think this was the first really sold episode ofGotham. They had a monster-of-the-week (Zsasz) without him taking too much time away from the most interesting parts of the show. With lines starting to be drawn, it appears like we're seeing the beginning of a much larger story...

    Survivor

    I was really disappointed Dale's plan didn't work. I would've loved to see the faces of that couple when they played the fake idol. That would've gone down as one of the best moments in Survivor history. What message does this send to future tribes? Eat as much rice as you can so you can...

    Constantine

    Yeah, pilot doesn't necessarily mean first episode. A pilot is sort of a proof of concept that is used to sell the idea to networks. Sometimes they're solid enough to use as the premiere (eg Lost) and sometimes they reveal series flaws that need to be resolved before airing. Constantine is...

    Constantine

    It's not uncommon for actors to be replaced after a pilot. Jenna (30 Rock), Daenerys (GoT), Sam Malone (Cheers), and Willow (Buffy) were all played by different actors in their pilots. The difference here is that rather than just switching out the actor, the writers of Constantine decided to...

    Constantine

    You sum up my feelings. It's rough around the edges, but not so rough that I don't hold out any hope of it improving. And I think a lot of that roughness comes from the fact that they had two episodes in a row that revolved around introducing Constantine's sidekick. It was sort of like having...

    Benched (USA Network)

    Decided to watch this earlier since I like both Eliza Coupe (Scrubs, Happy Endings) and Jay Harrington (Better Off Ted). It has a pretty basic premise (high profile corporate lawyer has a breakdown which forces her to become a public defender), but I thought it had a lot of promise based off...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Marvel has had a lot of success casting actors who haven't yet found widespread success (Hemsworth, Evans, Pratt, etc.), I don't really see why they'd want or need to chase Hollywood's current golden boy, particularly when there are rumors that Marvel is looking to get rid of Downey due to his...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    I don't know he's necessarily "evil", but I'm glad they really haven't been doing much of a redemption arc with him so far. No one is buying his shit or giving him any leeway, which is going to make it difficult for him to "be part of the team". I don't think he's going to return to Hydra, but...

    Terminator Genisys (2015)

    So, they turned arguably one of the strongest and most fearless female badasses in cinema history to someone who needs daddy to look out for her? I'm sure no one will take issue with that at all.
