  1. The comics have shown Luke being susceptible to various degrees, but he has had a high tolerance for poison, but he still needs air to breath, light to see, ect. There was a story line where a villain from the future came to wipe out various super heroes. He killed Luke by trapping him in a heat bubble that dehydrated and then suffocated him. The Vision used his intalibility once to phase through him and knock him unconscious from the inside since that is not "unbreakable".
  2. That's exactly it! There was no addressing the problem at all. Mitchum was right about Rory's drive and had no passion for her chosen career path. I always found him an asshole, especially in his short appearances in the revival. However, was he right? Yes, he was. So much could have been handled if they all would have sat down and had Rory talk about everything that happened. From the dinner to Mitchum telling her she was delusional. Would the confrontation between Emily and Logan's mother still have happened? Oh, I'm sure it was, she was a bitch and as they say: "pot calling kettle." Was Mitchum's father a person who didn't get the reality of the world in the 21st century? Sure. The one thing for Mitchum I didn't take is he never gave Rory any advice or alternatives. His character was: "Sharp truth, deal with it or get out!" That's what I hated about his character and even his smugness about it. Other wise, I think he was a well develop character, but fell in the constant GG writing trap of: "I'm rich, and nothing bad happens to me and I'm always right even when I'm proven wrong."
  3. Was watching where Al was beveling a table leg and Tim was talking about not having loose clothing. His entire shirt gets ripped off of him by the spinning rack. Considering that Tim is standing at least an entire person away. It's even more glaring when Tim is trying to cover himself you can see the space between him and Al. Another thing, why is Al giving Tim such a dirty look, especially when he turns off the spinner and where did Tim's shirt go?
  4. No kidding. I mean, I know the joke was that Tim is a moron, but really, it wasn't like there was a lot of recoil with that nail gun to do that. However, what really gets me when they blow up Benny's aunt's house from a second gas leak. First of all, it was Benny's fault for everything. Plus, when you fix a gas leak, you are to check other areas with a spray bottle of soap and water. To see if there are any leaks in main areas. I mean they replaced the entire part of the heater, not like on a stove or something. Al would have done that. You have to check to see if any other areas are leaking gas. Plus, the clap light going on and then enough of a 5 second delay from the explosion. Yeah, it doesn't work that way and more than half of the house would have been blown apart. Something that also bothered me. Who was paying for Benny's cell phone? Of course was also Tim falling through the roof that was bad. He jumped onto a bad spot directly. You could see it.
  5. Yeah, the story just bothered me so much that Jill was that oblivious to know that Tim would be watching Indy. I mean, she was married at that point almost 20 years to the man and she didn't go: "Oh crap! That's Indy weekend, I'll never hear the end of it!" Same with her talk about how she moved around all the time. EVERYONE knew the story! So, why constantly talk about it? Even Tim's mother was tired of the stories, hence SHUT UP about it! Speaking of when Tim got the blame when really it wasn't his fault. How about when he got his honorary PhD and the Dean touched the microphone from Tim accidentally dropping his water glass when he was making a toast. She gives Tim the dirtest of looks before he even makes his joke. I mean he even tried to warn her not to touch the mic since water splashed on it and it's an electric device. Apparently an advance degree didn't speak to common sense. I remember watching the episode with my mom back in the day and she said: "How dumb would you have to be to do that?" Yeah, that episode really bothered me and then they later lead to Illene and Al breaking up on day of the wedding rang horrible. Plus, those tuxes and dresses? What the hell were they smoking to pick them out? I love Wilson's line: "You think I would wear this outfit if I wasn't in the wedding party?" Speaking of going to far. I was watching Bud's introduction and I always enjoyed James Robinson since Night Court and he was a down right asshole during the show. Then he turned into a dumb asshole. I get what he said about Al on first appearance because it made sense. Plus, it was in continuity, everyone who LOVED Al were older. Heidi testing higher than Santa Claus was great and everyone knew that people watched for Tim. However, later with Tim constantly trying to do things that Bud wanted without question. I know that Jill brought it up later on, but seriously, some of the stuff he did I wanted to go: "Yeah, and you think this not only smart, but that Jill wouldn't kick your ass?" I mean come on. Then his exit made less sense when the series ended because Morgan was such an idiot, really he leave the company to fall apart with him in charge? As they say, Plot driving character.
  6. Or the fact the grill was able to burn for about four days according to the time line of that episode. Rocket fuel burns fast and burns up realllllyyyy fast! How about when Tim did the 21 nail gun solute to John Bidford's death. First of all, why were they on a full 360 degree turn and why did Tim need a regular wireless remote for them?
  7. Jill was one character who got worst as the series went on. Seriously, she got down right: "I'm always right no matter what." How about when she caught Brad and Angela in Brad's room. She got in Randy's face and while it was humorous about Randy saying he was going over to his friend's for devil worship. What did she think Randy was doing? He wasn't dating anyone, he wasn't any where near even being interested in Lauren by that point in the series. I remember when she flirted with the cop and got caught on it and still tried to turn it around on Tim that he had to see the error of his ways. Plus, things with Al's mother got way too over the top. The reason they killed her off was they knew it was the last season and they also knew there was no way they could cast a woman in the part after all the jokes they made. However, Al's momma's boy attitude they stuck him with the last few years of the show were too much. From what I got, Al's dad had him and Kal at an older age, but it seems that their mother was a much younger woman. Even Richard Karn said that most likely his mother was in her late 60s by the end of the series and he was in his early forties at that point in the show. So, after his talk about his dad being close to 60 when he was born, means there was a April/May/June romance between Al's parents.
  8. I know it was a combination of things. Terry F.'s manager at the time told her not to pursue it and everyone from Rick Berman to Michael Pillar didn't want to rock the boat. So, they just went against it. Terry regretted it years later and Rick B even said they should have found a way around it.
  9. Kristin and Ryan have been just a mess since season 2. They not only changed actors, but changed their personalities and stances in reality. Because they are suppose to be: "Modern Parents" when it just don't work. I think many people who are happy with the show said they could ditch the three of them and no one could have a problem. However, they just make it so Mike and Ryan just constantly argue about things and they tend to be very stupid things. I would like to see Vanessa getting a brain again and seeing Eve on active duty from the air force, but has gotten a nice bit in life. I also hope that Kyle and Mandy have their house built, but they really need to give Mike some better motivation. He came off the last two years: "Get off my damn lawn, you damn kids!"
  10. Right which have not only made sense, but worked in the long run. Because Taylor could have done his half-ass ideas and it would still have been in context with Gilmore Girls. However, they had to go with: "What does Taylor do if he is not the mayor?" AS-P does quick Google Search. "Yes, he is a Selectman, which deals with real estate and that's what he's constantly doing." Production guy: "Wait! Then how can he convince the town getting a stop light camera, change sewage and so forth?" AS-P: "It works in my mind and it's my show, so FU!"
  11. How true. Yes, that's why I brought up the mayor because he was mentioned and there was talk several times. It was like how the town was so small that the church and Jewish temple shared space. Switching out the cross and the Star of David several times. It was funny a little bit, but then got to the point: "You know, they hold church services in warehouses these days. The switch from Jackson back to Taylor was never handled and basically had 3 episodes from Jackson realizing he had a life and didn't need to be Selectman, to being cornered by the whole town to do his job after election. Followed by Taylor back to his old position the following episode. I remember AS-P said: "It was pretty obvious what happened, Jackson didn't want to do it and I spent two episodes making that clear." Well, no AS-P you did shitty writing and expected everyone to hand wave it because in the real world, someone like Taylor would have been kicked out for half the shit he did over the years. Or arrested or lose his license.
  12. It was a punchline to keep her character around, but when would AS-P and her husband want to give a logical explanation for Kyon being around? That would be like the Mayor of Stars Hollow telling Taylor that a Select Man doesn't rule a town and can't call town meetings at the drop of a hat.
  13. Especially, when there are so many complaints that studios hate spending money out on things. You would think hiring actor A who is fresh and new would cost less than actor B who has bee used several times and knows how to squeeze money out of the studio no matter what their contract says.
  14. Tim "the tool man" Taylor did some crazy rewiring and a few other things over the years. However, blowing up telephones, remote control helicopters that attacked people or that Al could just magically fix things by touching them like Fonzi. What strange things on Home Improvement just never made sense? Post your thoughts here.
  15. Oh I know, I said many times over the years on how Emily had anybody want to work for her. I know it was a reoccurring joke on the show. However, after Emily got sued by one of her maids (plus how Lorelai couldn't be serious when she was testifying). I would have loved it if we would have had several episodes where Emily had no maids. The fact that we had the same maid and the fact her entire family moved into the mansion during the revival was shocking. Basically it took Richard dying before Emily was: "You know what, I'm horrible to people, if I don't stop being bitchy, I'll be all alone."
  16. Reminds me of a joke that critics made about both Ron Thomas creator of Veronica Mars and Greg Belenti of Everwood, DC Universe Fame. Saying how they constantly recasted actors in a different role. Putting them in a wig or something on their shows the following season. Basically saying if you love them that much, just make a show about them.
  17. How true, Luke could know exactly what to get Lorelai, but Rachel and April? Nope, nada, don't have a clue. Just like Jess: "I can just skip school, work at awesome Walmart all the time and I'll be fine."
  18. I still want to know how Mrs. Kim's antiques stayed in business all those years when her constant talk was: "You buy or you get out!" Usually having people just leave without buying ANYTHING!
  19. Early Kyra was interesting, but later on after she did move in with Van and BJ, she started walking that line between interesting and downright hateful. The school fight story line could have been interesting until it was revealed that Kyra wanted to get kicked out of school because she couldn't stand the bullying. Which then kind of made little sense, because she hated being bullied, but then punched a girl who was calling Cheyenne a "slut". The story line was trying to have it both ways, that bully is horrible and usually made by people who have their own issues and at this point Chey and Van had been out of high school for almost 2 years at that point. I kind of wanted to roll my eyes, because you know, there were no teen pregnancies in the 90s and early 2000s. Hell, it was becoming so common that Mtv created reality TV shows based off of them. That said, when Kyra came back in the final season, it was a nice balance. I think at that time, they had her basically grow up and realize that things were not as bad as she believed. People were petty and Chey and Van were never going to change. However, her purposely putting the garage door up in Van's garage door office was mean. Plus, also pained how stupid they made Van over the course. Seriously, he had the books and stuff fall from having the garage door put up the first time. He couldn't have move said shelves or been: "I didn't think the first time about that, won't make the same mistake."
  20. Sean Gunn is 44, which surprised me he has grayed so much in the last few years. I know that Lulu was younger than him it was even established she was younger. However, like I said, they waited 10 years when Kirk is in his 40s and she is in her mid to late 30s to have kids.
  21. That's how I always saw it, not with Lorelai being: "I make everything awesome and don't you forget it." Just Luke after how many years of thinking like this is what made things backfire in his life CONSTANTLY! Nicole, Jess, Lorelai, hell even Taylor and Kirk. If Luke would have stopped being: "It's my problem and I will deal with it because I alone can fix it, because I've always done it that way." Is what lead to everyone walking all over him all these years. He bailed Liz out how many times? Even when he took in Jess, he never once said: "Liz stop being a dumbass, getting high and sleeping with guys left and right. Go live homeless because I'm tired of bailing you out!" Just like: "Taylor, get over yourself? You act like Hitlor with a real estate license and everyone just lets you do it. You are so obsessed with having a legacy, maybe you should have had kids instead of mind controlling Kirk all these years?" Or with Kirk: "And when you mom is dead then what is going to be your excuse?"
  22. Yep, my wife and I were flipping through and there was the entire Taylor family. We started with season 1 where Tim told Mr. Bindford he would do a camping trip instead of a romantic weekend with Jill. Most networks have gone: "Tim Allen may be a conservative and does straw man on LMS, but at least he doesn't bite the hand that feeds him."
  23. Bunheads finances were so out there, I just wanted to go: "The Repo Men would be at your door every month."
