I am also more than thrilled to find others who share my opinion! Let's be best friends forever! Does she play a robot on that show? Or a statue? Lots of my friends just love her from Dollhouse, and I absolutely cannot see a hint of whatever it is they're getting from her. I know people have different responses to different actors, but this gulf is so broad and deep I wouldn't be surprised to find out Lachmann is actually able to hypnotize people into perceiving her stone-faced monotones as an engaging performance and I'm part of a small group who are immune for some unknown reason. Just as long as it's not a character played by Pierce Brosnan doing the singing. I'd be 100% in favor trigger-happy SHIELD agents shooting first and asking questions later if that ever happens!

We don't really know what state Adam is in - we can't judge by what Sam experienced while being tormented by Lucifer. Adam was possessed by Michael when they fell into the cage, and in his brief appearances Michael hasn't seemed petulant or needlessly cruel, just totally committed to enacting his father's plan as he understood it regardless of collateral damage. Michael is also one of perhaps three beings in all Creation that might actually be able to keep Adam safe and unharmed by whatever temper tantrum Lucifer threw once Death took away his favorite chew toy.

At that episode in Season 7 when the Leviathans went on a multi-state killing spree wearing the Winchesters' faces. It makes no sense whatsoever that every law enforcement officer in America doesn't recognize them on sight and (aside from Jodi Mills and Donna) try to take them into custody—or gun them down in a hail of bullets to be on the safe side. I'm pretty sure all the writers have forgotten that plot point, just like they've forgotten that angels are supposed to be invulnerable to punches and physical harm and that even wimpy book nerd angel Metatron was easily able to overcome Dean when he was fully under the Mark of Cain's influence and had the First Blade in hand.

What I want to know is why Tony didn't use Veronica against Ultron in the big final battle(s). That thing was powerful enough to take down the Hulk in a drawn-out fight; seems like it might have come in handy against a vast horde of robot villains, including one that was all but indestructible. Hell, if he could have gotten the original containment device back in service he could have dropped that on Ultron's trigger mechanism and kept it safe until they were ready to blow the city up.

Remember that Cal said Raina was always wanting more after her desires were met? Being grasping was in character for her. I wondered about Gordon's face too, but from close-ups in this episode I think it's just that the prosthetic is much smoother than the actor's actual skin, and there are no angles or deep hollows to give that area strong definition. If some stranger shot a bullet at me with no provocation and my attempt to protect myself accidentally killed him, I wouldn't exactly throw myself on his coffin in grief. I'm just sayin'.

Oh, you are about to fall down the world's best rabbit hole. I'm not sure I can second the nomination for casting Ben, though. He has tons of charisma and is currently the most drool-worthy man on the planet, but he'd also be a blond blue-eyed WASP Hercules with no discernible acting talent, and we've already seen how that turns out. I think I might lean toward Dwayne Johnson in the role, as he looks more the part and proved his chops in the recent Hercules movie that wasn't less entertaining than a root canal.

Seriously, Sue Sylvester becoming Vice President is more believable than Peter Floreck doing so. I wish I could chalk it up to Peter picking up a crack habit in the joint and Eli being too blinded by ambition/sychophancy to shoot down the idea, but Alicia acted like it would be a perfectly reasonable thing to do if not for the impact on their kids.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Buckner and Ross-Lemming, approaching touchy subjects with all the sensitivity of a leprous Archie Bunker since 2006.

Christian Kane would be perfect for the role in a reboot.

Yeah, in the comics Wand has even resurrected the dead, which we've been told for decades is a feat beyond the Sorcerer Supreme. Call it what you will, but her power is effectively that of Plot Contrivance.

Age of Ultron actually eased my worries on that score. It was so stuffed with characters it threatened to burst like Bruce Banner's wardrobe at times, but Steve was pitch-perfect from the first scene of the movie to the last. As long as Chris Evans has a lock on the character and the writing supports him, everything else will fall into place.

Okay, I was skeptical about State Farm hinting at some exciting new development in their commercials, but they just won at TV advertising forever—take THAT, gecko! Makes me glad to be a longtime customer.

I don't think I want to see this, but I may buy a ticket and then actually sit through Age of Ultron again so I can help encourage filmmakers to cast Hemsworth for sexually suggestive roles.

A LOT of King's stories have an undercurrent of child molestation or too-early sexual development (when it's not spelled out right on the page, as in this novel). Enough that I've often wondered if he's working out issues of real-world abuse in his past.

I was willing to give him a pass the first time as just telling a joke that went over like a lead balloon. But after he caught backlash for it and gave the world's least sincere "I'm sorry people were offended by what I said" apology, doubling down on the slut-shaming jokes on Conan came across as really crass and disrespectful. Every time he gives an interview the tiny bit of residual affection carrying over from playing a character I really like gets further eroded.

Season 2 was my favorite, with 1 close behind ("Night School" is probably still my favorite single episode). 4 was definitely the worst, about the only parts I enjoyed out of the whole thing were Peter's monologues and Derek's shirtless and/or pantsless scenes.

I was with you 100% right up until this point, amensisterfriend, but you are now dead to me! I was a fan of that arc (even though it was held together with spit and bailing wire, as Tim Minear admitted) because it torpedoed the most abhorrent ship in television history more decisively than the Lusitania. No amount of ass-pull plot twists and squicky possessed babysitter/child relationships could have been worse than the eye-searing horror of a fully realized Angel/Cordy romance.

I can't complain too much given that Man of Steel had its major female characters modestly dressed or covered up in battle armor, whereas Clark had scenes with half his clothes burned off by the most flatteringly-lighted industrial fire in film history.

I'm only onboard with a love triangle if it's Natasha/Bucky/Steve, and Bucky's the one who has to make the choice. I'm guessing that aborted love scene where Bruce's heart started racing and he almost Hulked out in the Ed Norton movie? I can see how that might have put him off continuing his romance with Betty, while not entirely ruling one out with far-less-vulnerable-and-innocent Black Widow.

Having younger kid actors becomes hugely problematic if they keep the celebratory gangbang from the end of the flashback story. Though I'd be quite happy to see that particular plot element become a victim of streamlining the script.

Her character really got off on the wrong foot with me what with being so pushy about Peggy rooming with her. She got a lot more tolerable in the later episodes, but I wouldn't mind at all if Angie departs to do dinner theatre at some Catskills resort by the time Season 2 starts up.

One of the reasons I don't go to conventions anymore is that the temptation to ask some really rude questions about actors' and other writers' opinions of their scripts would be irresistible. And while I have basically no respect for the writing duo and very little for the executive producers regarding their continued employment, I don't want to put Misha Collins or Robbie Thompson on the spot like that.

Between this and Agent Carter getting renewed, ABC is my new best friend. It probably used up all the favorite show renewal karma I had banked from the Happy Endings and Pushing Daisies cancellations, but I don't care; I've enjoyed the two shows more than anything on TV for years.

I had previously assumed that every time Cas or another angel has healed them since the beginning of Season 4, the concussion clock has been reset to zero. But maybe not?

Jody Mills seems fonder of Sam than of Dean. If this pair of half-witted hacks kills her off, I'm starting a riot. Yeah, I got the impression the Nepotism Duo intended that to be a really dramatic and frightening reveal, but it might as well have had a Three Stooges kazoo sound effect for all the terror it inspired in me. It was also laughable when Cajun Lackey was telling Dean how he was out of his depth. Short Bus, the Winchesters are personally responsible for killing off ALL the royalty of Hell, including Caine and Lilith, and they averted the Apocalypse by trapping the Devil and the Archangel Michael in its deepest pits. They aren't going to break a sweat dealing with Gene Wilder and Marty Feldman.
