    The Flash

    The guy who delivered the gun was killed to eliminate a witness, not a "senseless" killing. The one who failed him was killed as an exercise in "managerial motivation" for this other underlings not to screw up, also serving a distinct purpose. So yes he is evil, but he's not indiscriminate...

    The Flash

    Yes, I love how they keep working in any excuse , even the ridiculous one in this episode, to have her in insanely hot dresses..... Like the angle with the development of the Rogues Gallery so far. But far more than that I love the way they're handling the speedster effects. For some reason...

    The Imitation Game (2014)

    I agree that if you didn't like Cryptonomicon then reading it all the way through is only a sign that you lack the resolve to trust your own personal judgement of the material, of all the potential failings of the book what you did was easily worse. Personally, I liked the book, it wasn't...

    ANd now he will have been in Star Trek, been Sherlock Holmes, been in a Hobbit movie, Played Alan Turing, AND will probably be Dr Strange... Marvel Casts Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange - Comic Book Resources Only things left are a role in the new Star Wars franchise, and to be the...

    Grimm

    I certainly hope they don't drag out this "Nick lost his powers" crap too long. Nice as a contrast, not as a mainstay of the season IMHO. And...

    Constantine

    I agree that his accent was all over the damn place. And a new case study in "You don't realize which came first, do you?" when someone mentioned to me that they sure are trying to "make this guy look like Cas from Supernatural." Didn't think it was that bad, interesting how they managed to...

    Hurm.. in the wild ass guess and speculation department here.. but... Hulk loses it starts trashing <insert_city_name>, Stark has to bust out the HB armor. Eventually subdues him. This sparks the start of Civil War via superhuman registration, but also sparks the need to put Banner on a...

    John Wick (2014)

    The Wife and I went to see this last night. For what is it, a revenge action flick of the "you woke the sleeping bear back up.." school, I thought it was excellent. I'd personally put it up in the neighborhood of the first Taken. I couldn't imagine a much more sympathetic set up for someone...

    Constantine

    Also , the concept of the "Friday night death slot" has been watered down a lot with the advent of DVRs. My wife and I are never watching TV on Friday nights, but still have Grimm (and now this) recording to be watched at some point next week probably. Nielsen is even taking it into...

    Arrow

    I also wouldn't be surprised if it was Waller, or Waller sending Deadshot and just telling him to use a bow instead of a gun. That would fit the motif of someone under Waller's group doing it, and the motif of it being a ranged weapon kill.

    The Flash

    I can live with the changes to the origin. That has to happen with any reboot , and especially changing medium into TV. Wife and I both thought this was solid, but we also watched this back when it leaked. Nice of them to go ahead and start the "metahuman" references.... Although saying the...

    The Blacklist

    James Spader on this show proves that even us stocky middle aged guys can occasionally, if we're lucky, pull of a vest with a suit look. I like that they're trying to get more of "Red's World" involved. Yes, some glaring plot holes, but still great entertainment.

    Brooklyn Nine-Nine

    Yeah, loved the season opener. Waiting on wife's friends to leave so we can watch the second episode which is waiting on the DVR. Also.... If you have Waze, update it and you can now have Terry Cruise as your navigation voice. It's a wonderful thing.

    Somebody's Gotta Do It, new Mike Rowe show on CNN

    Yeah, first thing EVER on CNN to make my DVR list.... I have high hopes, because I do like the guy and his message.

    Scorpion

    I am thanking you people for saving my wife and I from watching the one episode we have DVR'd. Normally I would be willing to forgo some naysayers and give almost anything a shot. But the reviews here are so overwhelming I would think that rectal cancer treatment would probably be the only...

    Forever

    I just stepped up the HD in the DVR form 250G to 2TB so the wife and I are recording anything which even sounds potentially interesting. We went through the first two episodes of this and it's worthy to remain. I agree that it would be hard to be employed by the city where you keep having...

    Gotham

    I liked the pilot but the Mrs and I both agree on the horrible choice of shots/technique that Neph mentioned up there. My concern is that if the Bruce in this incarnation is say 10-12? (I am not a good judge of that from the screen time), They're setting up for almost every one of his rogues...

    I've done sweating copper, cpvc and pex now. Pex wins in terms of fastest and easiest, but yeah it doesn't look pretty (just used it in a kitchen remodel). I agree with Uber that Cpvc is easy to do as well. One neat thing I have seen with a friend that did Pex was that during a particularly...

    Doctor Who

    As we have seen examples of how much space is "inside" the Tardis, it could be that Missy is a manifestation of the time vortex inside the Tardis trying to do right by the people/things that have to die in the line of the Doctor doing what he does. Which would also explain the "boyfriend"...

    Dude, where is my hair?

    I'm been wrestling with this as I have some thinning on my crown, which is common with all the men in my family. I have sported the longer hair a lot of my adult life and currently have a foot long silver pony tail. My problem with shaving is that thanks to some indiscriminate sporting...

    Clara had a good dynamic with Smith, she was the school teacher to his ADHD schoolboy.... Here it's the schoolteacher dealing with a crotchety old parent, which is far less entertaining. I was making fun of my wife for not liking Capaldi because he wasn't as young and cute as Tennant and...

    Should you tip the waitress and how much thread

    As a potential devil's advocate position here. I earlier stated that I liked the advantages of tipping well like having waitstaff remember your favorite orders and send food back before even bringing it to you if the cooks got it wrong... But I have now realized I get both of those same...

    Well, they didn't say his dad was a deadbeat, they said he was an asshole. Which opens up a lot more potential paternity suits... My bigger question was if having sex with an alien is what gave his mom her terminal cancer. I will agree that if they could weave in a Thor : Ballad of Beta Ray...

    I've been wondering more and more if population growth , especially in the west, is contributing to the water issues. As in effect if your population grows at X% a year either rainfall has to increase by X% or water efficiency has to increase by X% otherwise you will be in an unsustainable...

    The Legend of Korra

    Flight is just air bending around the glider/staff thing. That even requires a prop and isn't a different type of bending. Also, don't forget fire not only has lightning, it has "cracky pop boom" combustion hero class. I would want to say that "soul bending" is the Air Bender hero class...
