  1. The funny part is that Grant Show is only 8 years younger than John Forsythe was when did the original Dynasty.
  2. The problem is that this group is not a "means to an end" crowd. Groups like the Innocence Project are about matters of law, they don't take a case based on the morality of a convict. The Proven Innocent team seem to prefer that the client is not guilty of the crime and better yet, generally innocent of any wrongdoing. Ideally, we'll see more cases where the client is guilty but was let off on legal grounds. The Rosemary murder reminds me so much of Rectify. In some ways, it was the weakest part of the show because the real point was how Daniel moved on from a 20 year sentence. Still, they tied up the murder story in a tidy bow in the last episode and Daniel was innocent.
  3. That's a common occurrence on the show. Two actors from the same show will be in the episode, but different stories. I wonder if it had to do with filming schedules.
  4. The reality of the show is that the "legacies" are all girls. Raphael is a legacy in the sense that werewolves are part of a bloodline, but he doesn't know his. I think Kaleb has definitely shown some growth. He's not as bad as Damon, who frequently compelled women and killed them or puppeted them in some awful fashion. However, he's also an advocate for the full use of his abilities, along with the witches. MG's a likeable character, but we're getting more bits of biography than actual character development. I still like Landon because he was in the Originals and he's kind of a normie, even though he's potentially immortal. I probably shouldn't get too attached because it seems like this season will end with him sacrificing himself so Hope can be despondent again.
  5. Going to "France" was not a great story decision. This is already Dynasty on the cheap, given that TV budgets are getting smaller and on the CW they're practically non-existent. Doing a bunch of tiny interior scenes doesn't exactly help suspend disbelief. Also, SanDiegoInExile makes a good point about French investment. Revenge brought on a famous actor in Japan because Japanese audiences loved the show. I suspect Grant Show and Elizabeth Gillies will not leave the show as this is Gillies biggest role to date and Show is a trooper and knows how soaps work. He played the devil on "Point Pleasant" for a year, so he can get through Blake Carrington. Alan Dale did the OC with an American accent and survived, so he's probably in for the duration.
  6. I bet those surveillance people saw some footage of the Pierce family revealing Black Lightning's identity and though "Oh, shit, we're dead." When Jace tells Tobias she's smarter than he is, but he has a better instinct for self-preservation, I'd say he has better access to luck. How does Lala not shoot Cutter at that range? Why didn't Jen blow up the car before it took off?
  7. The only way I'd want to see Penelope back is if a MOTW kills her outside the gates. Her ridiculous schemes are intrusive, cruel and got Landon killed. Even if I liked her, Penelope's continued ability to wreak havoc would reflect badly on Alaric. I think it's both. Penelope loved Josie but also wanted to control her. When they broke up, she blamed Lizzie and everyone who was supposedly keeping Josie from reaching her potential. She wanted to watch the world burn, but she justified it as a way to help Josie. Isn't the Merge like 6 years away for them? It seems like they should take a little time to find a fix before telling the twins one has to kill the other. Is there a huge pen shortage at the Salvatore school? Why was everyone writing all their important secrets with Penelope's magic pens? Oh, and this is like 2019 / 2030 so why are they writing things down? Speaking of years passed, I doubt Caroline can show her face at a Miss Mystic Falls contest since it's been about 20 years since she won and she theoretically looks exactly the same.
  8. The atmosphere of the shuttle and the debris emanating from the explosion could have started him spinning. I think the implication is that the Orville couldn't get to the ship in time, especially if it continued moving. I think Gordon gave up on trying to save Orrin when he explained that being handed over to the Krill would mean torture and death. Unfortunately, instead of exonorating Orrin, Gordon's plan proved his guilt.
  9. That episode was pretty weird in tone. The "innocent" guy was barely involved in a trial to free him. He was apparently not guilty, but he was maybe reformed, maybe not. Who knows? He had 3 scenes. And why the hell was that guy dressed up like a ninja in the office? I think they're gradually increasing Kelsey Grammer's role because he's the real draw of the show.
  10. I think they had a container for anti-matter in "The Blood of Patriots" so it may be a version of a warp drive.
  11. I don't know that the daughter is that big a plot hole. They know who Oren was because he escaped their prison camp. They wouldn't know who the girl was and didn't seem to care. They probably didn't know if his daughter was there or escaped and likely didn't want to tell the Union about the loose ends on their part. What was Isaac's legal crime? He didn't kill anyone. He was shut off when Mercer decided on his own to go to Kaylon 1. When he reported information about the Orville to his home planet, he did it with the full knowledge of the Union. Essentially, Isaac is an enemy combatant. They'd have to send him to the Union equivalent of Guantanamo Bay.
  12. That murder board needs to go in a back room. On Life, the guy had his murder board well hidden. Plus a friend took it down before the police searched the house.
  13. I'll watch shows where people are alone and can't contact someone and I'll have to remember "Oh, that was before cell phones" and I lived half my life when cell phones were either attached to cars or cost a month's salary. Technology is always a guess. Back to the Future had flying cars, but people were still sending faxes in 2015. The word "scanning" is hard to define because it's basically trying to quantify the universe with a nondestructive energy "beam" that can somehow sniff out anything. I have more problems with the idea that a humanoid could walk around with highly reactive blood and none of her other biological systems held the same danger. Even if an Envol wanted to travel to a Union planet, they'd be likely to get themselves killed. It doesn't make sense for them to travel to a planet with a Nitrogen atmosphere unless they were homicidal or suicidal. Someone who studied history or medicine might know about it, but Envols are probably not traveling all over the galaxy. Why scan for it? We don't check people coming into this country for Smallpox or Ebola as a matter of course and those diseases are extremely dangerous.
  14. The "bomb" is not her blood, but the compound that results when the blood plasma makes contact with Nitrogen. They'd need to have some kind of scanner that detects molecules of iodine and possibly ammonia inside of blood cells. I'd think a medical scan would reveal this, but only one of those powerful Kaylon scans would find it inside of a person at a distance.
  15. So, after reading about the actual chemical combination of iodides and nitrogen, the compound needs to be dry (her blood was still running) and there needs to be a physical impact. Once the nitrogen was purged, the blood plasma had no nitrogen to bind to. I would think she doesn't want to die without killing some Krill and the Orville probably made her get into a space suit as they marched out through a nitrogen-free ship.
  16. This reminds me of the whole discussion from "A Happy Refrain" because it brought up the Data dating episode, where no real character development occurred. In "The Measure of a Man" we at least got to learn about Data's actions and how seemed more than those of a machine. Of course, without any emotions, Data is going to have less character growth than Riker, but I still liked the episode.
  17. The Union isn't really obligated to turn her in since there's no formal extradition treaty. I think it depends on the scan. Since the iodide compound is in the blood plasma, it might take a medical scan to find it. Also, Nitrogen Iodide is apparently a real thing
  18. I just got what the title meant.
  19. I was also a fan of Fairly Legal. Its early cancellation is one of the reasons I hate Suits. I didn't realize that Life predated it, though. Since the show is called "The Rookie" and not the rookies, I suspect Nolan is always going to have a busy life that will take up most of the screen time.
  20. I'm going to assume there were some remains of Orrin. On the first 4 Krill ships, he was using a Krill shuttle with torpedoes. Presumably, the blood was in there. With the Union shuttle, he was just going to crash the shuttle into the Krill ship.
  21. First of all, I loved that oddball superhero show you spoiler tagged. However, has it been shown the twins can siphon the "magical" effects of werewolf toxin? I would think that a siphon would revert a vampire back to their just about to die state, because we saw that a few times on TVD, including Alaric being de-Originaled and Jo saving him from the chest wound that originally turned him.
  22. If the actors ages are any indication (ha ha) there's a 5-10 age gap, which means they probably both still think of a cell as a cellular telephone.
  23. So is it just coincidence that there's also a father figure named Oren hanging around with a girl and committing mass murder on The Flash as well? While I can compare this episode to TNG's "The High Ground," I'm starting to think of the South Park adage about how the Simpsons did everything first. This episode was wholly its own. They managed to build upon the relationship between the Union and the Krill and tell a B story about someone doing the wrong thing for what might have once been the right reasons. Also, Yaphit is a hero and Dan got 2 scenes.
  24. Wow. I could interpret almost all of those emojis as sex acts.
  25. I'd be okay if they did less shooting on the show. Real cops don't draw their guns that much and I'd find it hard to believe someone can effectively cut a slacked rope with a bullet. The reality is that they had him and they just needed to make him realize the only option was to go back to jail and come up with a new plan in his cell.
