    I mean, yes, vampires probably don't sweat so much and the shirt ended up getting washed pretty thoroughly by the sprinklers during the fight with Buffy, anyhow.   But still. Classy vampires change their clothes; I'm just saying.

    He would have, but he hadn't just taken a high school girl's virginity and run screaming into the alley.

    I'm glad the show is ending with season 4, as how much longer can Villanelle and Eve play cat and mouse? I feel like we've started getting diminishing returns, so if the writers can create a strong final season, I'll be satisfied.

    I was telling someone else the same thing. Even three seasons has been pushing this concept. And I love both JC and SO and how they've played these characters.

    I’d be open to a Carolyn spin-off.

    She'd be the only character to lead a spin-off. Her facing off against The Twelve (if she's not actually a member).

    I am just saying that it seems implausible that Batman/woman (let alone a first time driver like Mary) could ever shake a helicopter from tracking them once spotted. There's only so fast the Batmobile can go on city streets and only so many tricks it could employ.

    I'm sure either Lucius or Luke figured out a way to equip the batmobile with some form of stealth technology.

    I want to love this show but they went for a convoluted storyline and I am not buying Alice's possible redemption arc.

    Due to how important Alice was to the first season and how popular her character (and especially the actress) is, they are trying to figure out any number of ways to keep her as one of the main characters on the show. We currently have the search for Kate, the Wonderland Gang killing Ryan's mother, she's Mary's step-sister and daughter of Jacob, her relationship with the (so far) main villain. They're going to keep throwing storylines against the wall to see if any stick.

    So now that Alice knows that Safiyah erased her memories, can she stop believing what she says? I've always thought that Safiyah doesn't actually have Kate, and I just know that the episode is coming (my spec not spoilers) where everyone ends up on the island and Kate won't be there in any case.

    Kate may not be there, but there's a chance we'll see a polar bear. Maybe a smoke monster.

    Wasn't Dougray Scott one of the lead contenders to play Wolverine in X-Men before Hugh Jackman got the role?

    So you're suggesting that he's a method actor and actually had adamantium injected into his body?

    I did like the scene at the hospital where we see how black people are treated in these situations. But, I was very impressed by Angelique's drug-dealing employer who has the best health insurance plan possible. I mean, Ryan doesn't have health insurance (bad Mary!) but Angelique just tells the doctor that she has and so he can treat Ryan. That's not how health insurance works. Unless she not only put Ryan on her plan in the 48 hours they have been back together, but got the insurance company to waive the 30-day period before they begin covering the new person. 

    I should care why Alice is still on the show without Kate, but I don't. She's such a fun character. Keep her on. Let her work with every other character. Please keep her around. 

  6. Is Jacob an alien? The man's been tased, knifed, jack-knifed by a truck, kidnapped twice, pistol-whipped (I think that happened) all in the last few episodes. I don't even like the guy and I'm feeling sorry for him. Yet, he just gets up and has no internal bleeding (I'm not sure if he there are any outward signs of bruising). Look, if they want to get rid of the guy, go for it. If the only way to do it is to decapitate him, I say fire up the damn chainsaw. But, if not, then the next time he is run over by a 20-ton bulldozer, I don't want to see him pop up like he's from a Warner Brothers cartoon. 

    Someone with a lot more knowledge of DC comics will have to explain to me the role of the Crows. Are they a private security company? If so, who is paying for them to protect Gotham? If it's being financed all by Jacob, how come the GCPD and the DA's office never complained about them interfering in criminal cases? Is Oswald Cobblepot the Mayor? Has Jacob bribed him? Admittedly, that would explain a lot.

    Anyone figure out how much time was supposed to have passed between the last two episodes?  West is almost healed, Nolan either got really lucky with just happening to be at the start of a semester, or has had to wait months for classes to start. 

    This season has entirely taken place during the last 30 days of their rookie-ship probation. Jackson apparently has superhero healing powers.

    Agree with others that Nolan will have to spend some lengthy period of time on patrol before getting the opportunity to be a T.O.

    Yeah, IRL the TV would be parallel to the couch, not perpendicular, but it's the same as families and Friends having everyone sit around the table with one side empty so the television viewing audience can see their faces. 

    Or in paintings.*

  9. I'm not a fashionista, but what the hell was Wayne wearing? An untucked shirt that went about 6 inches below an ill-fitting sweater with only three buttons done? Yeesh. Looked horrible.

    "Two Line Vocabulary" was great, too, "I guess we don't need to aim or anything..." :p.

    I enjoy two-line vocabulary b/c Colin's reactions and quick thinking are always a highlight. I do miss the similar various number of words vocabulary (I don't recall the name) where each one is assigned to give two, three, four, or five word responses.

    And I did like that this episode supports my theory that "Janet is God" (or as close as TGP gets to one). She's the one being who remains in the Good Place even after everyone passes on (and she is not just immortal but also apparently Omniscient and Omnipotent... most of the time).

    She will, but for "now" Tahani also remains as one of the Architects. 

    Quote

    Well, for me, that ranks somewhere between Deep Space 9 and ST:TNG* for the best Finales.

    * Me? A Trekkie? Whatever gave you that idea?

    As a Trekkie, you no doubt recall what Kirk told Uhura in The Trouble with Tribbles - "Too much of anything, lieutenant, even love isn't necessarily a good thing." Which I think explains why after so many bearimies, they felt it was time to leave The Good Place.

    Lizzie being done with Red again....and just place on repeat.  I'm probably going to forget to post again after tonight's episode because, you know.

    Or, we can all just copy our posts from the episode thread the last time Liz was done w/ Red.

    Have they mentioned where Ryan learned to fight yet?

    I think the social worker (parole officer?) said that she had taught martial arts prior to her arrest and conviction for a crime she didn't commit (b/c we must always use the full sentence).

    We know that Kate isn't dead because a) TPTB have said they didn't and wouldn't kill her and b) the old comic-book rule that if you don't see a body, then you can't count on the person being dead.

    As FarScape demonstrated, there's dead, and then there's head-on-a-stick dead.

  14. I enjoyed Alice's scene with dear ol' dad. Nice way to twist the knife at the time when his daughter is missing and presumed dead. I also think they aren't saying Kate is dead b/c that gives Alice an excuse to stay in Gotham. 

    Did anyone bother to check to see if Kate was actually on the plane? Even if the batsuit was there, she might have been kidnapped before that and the bag was already checked. Surprising that nobody bothered to check. 

    The scene b/w Alice and dead!Mouse was creepy, but also left me wondering wouldn't his body be decomposing and smell bad? What about rigor mortis - she took his arm and put it around herself as she lay down snuggling with him.

    Don't be so sure. This show is about Nathan Fillion, Beat Cop. This might simply be the explanation for why he continues on in the beat cop persona. In a season or two, when they are looking for a revamp to boost ratings, maybe then they will promote him to detective. Or SWAT. Or whatever.

    I don't know if they'll ever promote him to detective, but I can see him at some point being promoted to TO and it will be to the new oldest rookie ever to serve on the LAPD who will be played by Betty White.

    The long game for Rosalind was to overturn her conviction...Nolan says it will never happen...so of course IT WILL!!!

    And, she'll be hired by the LAPD to work in the squad as a profiler. And end up dating Nolan b/c opposites attract in every TV show.* 

    * I like Annie Wershing, so I really wouldn't mind them doing this.

    Has there been one revival that has lived up to the original run?

    Battlestar Galactica. Even if the finale was disappointing, the show far exceeded the original version. But I agree that it's very rare for the revival or a sequel to be better than the original.
