I have to imagine that eventually even Stark's ego would give in to the fact that all their teammates would follow Cap's orders without question while rolling their eyes at any from him.

It always irked me that they removed the "That's the Way I Like It" number in all its Brady Bunch Variety Hour glory from subsequent broadcasts of the pilot after the original sneak preview. Seeing Will and his classmates hilariously two decades behind the times in their moment of triumph was one of the things that sold me on the series right from the start.

You'd think that might be a sore spot given all she went through with Shelby. Of course, Little Rum Tum Tugger or whoever will probably be singing trios with her Aunt Rachel and Uncle Jessie while she's still in her bassinet, so it's not as if she's going to disappear from the kid's life for 16 years. Oh my God, I just realized, this likely means that Rachel's prediction about Blaine giving her vaguely Eurasian looking children in "Blame It on the Alcohol" comes true!

To be fair, his BFF was a comically clumsy woman who usually had a drink in her hand. Though in personality Penny was basically a flamboyant gay man trapped in a woman's body (as the show itself noted).

From an outside perspective, I would expect someone who was raised from infancy by their kidnapper to regard that person as their "real" parent regardless of later revelations about legalities. It would suck for the birth parents, but you don't get do-overs on child rearing more than a decade later, and the kid would have no emotional connection to them at all.

Well, unless it's a genre show, in which case the police are hopelessly outgunned by a lone criminal or small band of criminals whose heads are apparently invulnerable to sniper fire. People, if I can see a crook's face well enough to recognize the actor, a SWAT team marksman could put a round in the middle of it.

I know nothing about it, but the visual image the term immediately brings up is little plates of supposedly healthy appetizer food like you'd have at an art gallery show: cheese and sprigs of herbs atop cucumber or zucchini slices, that sort of thing.

I do love how the MCU continues the tradition of heli-carriers being highly disposable. The entire US Navy manages to fund and construct one regular Nimitz class carrier every 4 years - the end of The Winter Soldier probably set the various governments funding SHIELD back $90 billion or more for the heli-carriers and their docking bays alone.

Seriously, American Horror Story goes out to commercial with a more shocking revelation several times each episode.

That "How do you not murder her every day?" "I do..." exchange leaves so many unanswered questions. Is that part of the appeal? Does Krieger reboot her every morning in regret? Does the AI reboot her regardless of his wishes?

Yeah, her Suze Orman was perfect, and her celebrity impressions were always hilarious on the Vincent Price Holiday Specials. But every original character was like nails on a chalkboard.

Yeah, O'Brien hasn't exactly endeared himself to me with his behavior in interviews, though I seem to be in the definite minority of not being charmed by how awesome he supposedly is. At least he has the excuse of being a newbie to the entertainment biz as of the start of Teen Wolf.

It's still kind of weird how Asgard being placed in outer space rather than a mystical dimension affects their interactions with alien species. I mean, are the Nine Worlds just nine particular planets that Asgardians have taken an interest in?

She did tug off Conway Stern's hand, and slam a window hard enough to pinch off his other hand, so it's not beyond the realm of possibility.

So are they going to abandon the lacrosse team framework that a lot of the characters interact within? WIthout that newbie Brett would have about zero reason to hang out with Scott and his pack. Or is Kate going to show up as the new coach like Lisa at the end of Weird Science?

When I heard the news my immediate reaction was "Oh thank God, now I'll have zero regrets about not seeing Season 5." Now the only negative impact the Suddenlink-Viacom feud is having on me is not being able to watch Key & Peele.

I've only seen one episode of the series so far, but it cleared the bar of "twice as good as Modern Family" with plenty of room to spare.

I think you have to go all the way back to Sasan on So NoTORIous to see that. Though I can't really blame his character for being a bit douchey to Anna Farris' in What's My Number?, she was a train wreck that he was clearly wise to bail on.

There's always the klutzy pile-up of someone stacking way too many dishes and having them topple.

It helps that she's not extremely hypocritical and making speeches all the time. Really, that "mind your rank" remark last week is the only time I can recall her being in the wrong, and it's at least understandable given that she's used to the previous SHIELD organization rather than the current vigilante situation.

I think that's a fault of the TV budget, only being able to do limited stunts and effects. By rights Sif should be able to lift a bus one-handed, and small arms fire should be like paintballs to her. Without highly advanced weaponry human agents shouldn't be able to do more than dodge her blows and keep her busy for a bit (and only that if they're extremely capable and acrobatic like May or Bobbi). Too bad the X-Men franchise is off limits, this is really the sort of thing that's their forté.

I wonder if he may have been overlooked because he had to completely dampen down his natural charm to play Mark Schultz.

The one thing that bothered me about the AmEx sketch was Chris talking about sleeping with lots of women when he's been married since a year before Thor hit theaters. I'd have preferred it if they had a nod to him marrying a Spanish model/action heroine instead, as that would have dovetailed quite well with the whole charmed life thing the commercial had going on.

I'm in the same minority. For my money, it's a flip of the coin whether Gilda or Phil Hartman should get the #1 spot.

I do love that the cast has enough black members now to actually do that Empire sketch. Though it would be hilarious to see them tackle the sitcom black-ish with a skit, then have someone announce "Now stay tuned for Fresh off the Boat!" and cut to the stricken faces of Lorne and all the decidedly non-Asian cast members.
