Pugdashians sleep through Biggie's run. They were at the "Meet the Breeds" event on Saturday. I kinda regret not going, mostly because I like dogs.

My first thought at the last few scenes: "Hey, William's moving to Central City! Maybe Cicada will chop his punk ass up!" Imagining Oliver screaming on the phone, "Barry, you had one job! ONE! Yes, you got a bunch of other jobs, but I was counting on you!" Then I remembered the flash-forwards, and I felt stupid. Seriously, I get where William is coming from, and his dad was acting as petulant as him, but he was SO annoying. Speaking of Central City: hey, Capt. Singh got to do a scene! In case you don't watch The Flash, he is the only person in Central City unaware that CSI Barry Allen is the Flash. Also, I forgot Dinah was from CC. Is the character named "Stan" after the Eminem song? I'm guessing I'm not breaking out a major revelation. Credit to the actor for turning up the creep dial. And as far as tension goes, paralyzing gas is a good way to go. "Olicitot." So cute. How long has that term been around? Very cute.

Johnny beats off about the lack of quality among the prospects.

William is going to Central City. Any odds on when he'll get chopped up by Cicada? ETA: Durr. Flash-forwards. When will he get stabbed by Cicada, then?

I don’t think so, but they’d have the same thought: “So THAT’S why Cara keeps a tranq gun on her dresser!”

Didn't see the latest episode. Last one I saw was Denki (not the electric kid from My Hero Academia) and Iwabee learning from each other and saving kids from a fire. I just figured that I should share this.

I think he’s done. But it would be fun for him to pop up, look at Kyle, look at Paulie, then amble up to Cara Maria, saying “Good luck with that” before walking away.

This episode: Shigechi leaves this world the same way he entered it: screaming and worthless. I doubt there was an explosion at his birth, though. Anyway, Kira's Stand can make whatever it touches able to explode, and "Deadly" Queen blows up Shigechi. Twice. There's no trace of the little mutant, but one lone Harvest critter delivers a button from Kira's jacket before vanishing. Oh, and Reimi and her dog get to see Shigechi floating to the heavens, still screaming in terror. The Stand users of Morioh get together . . . possibly to pose for the picture at the start of the credits, but to basically show us that shit just turned serious. Jotaro's in a new outfit . . . once again, I think he wears stuff like that because he can pass as a teen with questionable fashion tastes. He takes the button and does some investigating. And because he's supposed to be underestimated due to his thuggish looks, he manages to track down a lead with a tailor. And we basically get this: Tailor: That button is familiar! Well, boy howdy, I keep my clientele information in the ol' noggin! But I got the jacket right here! Koichi: Oh, wow! Originally, I accompanied Jotaro because I needed to be more involved with the main plot and that he's way stronger than Josuke. But it looks like I'm here to see the mystery solved! Jotaro: (grunting, showing no emotion) Tailor: Lessee . . . must be gettin' too old. I can't read this character! Jotaro: Yara yara daze. We can read it for you. Tailor: Nope, I got it. It's- [twelve seconds later] Tailor: MY HAND BLEW UP!! HOW IN ALL THE LIVING FUCK DID MY HAND BLOW UP??!?!??? MOTHERFUCKER!!! Jotaro: [unnerved] Look! A hand grabbing the jacket! Koichi: In a moment of rashness, I'll stop this asshole!! Jotaro: Kid, you do realize there's something on the guy's shoulder telling us to look at it. Koichi: But the killer!! Jotaro: And it's ticking. Kira: [thinking] My, my, my. This has been an eventful week for me. Now I have to murder this innocent tailor to hide my murderous intent. At least there's a new woman waiting for me back home. Well, just her hand with a ring on it. And "Single Ladies" won't be released for years. Ah, well. Tailor: [looking at his shoulder] What the hell is that?!? Wait, how can I see a Stan- Kira: Bang. [explosion; "To Be Continued." Cue Savage Garden]

Next episode's title is "Hellraiser," followed by "Casualties of War." Back-to-back seasons. I don't know how the Turkish version differs from the U.S., but consecutive wins sounds impressive. Over here, only a few have made it to Day 39 two straight times.

It's that time of year again. Monday and Tuesday on Fox Sports 1, now starting at 7:30 p.m. Also, agility coverage tomorrow on Fox from 2:30-4:30 p.m. ETA: It actually started at 2. They just showed the 20” category, featuring those loveable psycho Border Collies.

Tonight’s “classic” is the one from 2005 hosted by Tom Brady.

I tried watching Tropical Cop Tales last week. I will not make that mistake again. Only way I can think to improve it is to have a drinking game centered on the word "tropical." Then you'd black out halfway through a 15-minute episode.

@Al Herkimer . . . this this follow-up will probably make you facepalm as hard as I'm doing to myself mentally. And then someone comes in, all, "She claimed he slut-shamed her, he denied it, the producers ran the footage, she was right, the end." Sofa King Stupid.

I do not consider myself a hardcore otaku. Outside of the popular stuff, I see bits and pieces through highlights and lists, especially via WatchMojo. I say this because with all the talk of nectar . . . my mind went to a bad, bad place. You'll laugh, gag, or both.

This is more of a press release . . . blind box collectable figures are apparently on sale. I tend to pick up too many of those things. Last time, I waited two months for the latest Doctor Who line, then got the same figure twice. Basically, they're small, sometimes comes with accessories, and is a perfect hobby for anyone who has a hidden gambling addiction that never goes toward lottery tickets and slot machines. No clue what the "chase" figures would be . . . most of them are variations of the same character.

In case you did not hear, Frank Robinson passed away. Apparently, he was the only player to win MVP in both leagues. I knew he was the first, but I figured someone would have joined him by now. In lighter news, the prospective rules changes for MLB are still being floated, including giving the DH to the National League. Since nothing seemed to be happening in sports the previous night, here is what the Daily News put on their back page. Takes your breath away, doesn't it?

Understandable. On the other hand, think of the fans at that event. “Who is this jackass whooping it up?” “Hey, I think it’s the white guy from The Daily Show.” “Great, another news piece where people intentionally look stupid to make us look like morons.” The kid with the same last name fell asleep at SOTU. Of course he did.

Andy Dehnart of Reality Blurred basically nukes first WotW episode from orbit. I mean, he could have done research about last season, but he basically eviscerates the show, and I agreed with most of it.

The Straw Hats do commercials for Indeed.com in Japan. WOW. Live-action Mugiwara is. . . well, it's a lot to take in. And that's including what appears to be a CGI Chopper. Or maybe it's a real deer that got his post-timeskip hat. Bonus: Sogeking!!

Bumping up. Usual bullshit and softballs from the "superfans." My questions would be more "Paulie, why do you think no one has brutally murdered you?" and "Hey, Wes. Do you need special permits to lug that ego around?" One positive: Justina Valentine makes for a good host. I've been saying Devyn Simone would be the best choice to replace TJ Lavin's tired self, but Justina might have started making her case tonight.

Well, here we go again. Every year, I hope that an upcoming season would be an improvement from the last. Most of the time, I am very disappointed. Last season ended with trashy Smashley lucking into $1 million and most of the other finalist looking to kill each other once the cameras were lowered. Me: "Hey, nowhere to go but up!" And then, with the very first pick of the draft, the one new girl (Natalie/Ninja) whom I have the least problems with . . . picks Paulie. He's done ONE Challenge, he stunk up Big Brother (or so I heard), Natalie had to have heard that he was a walking talking tumor . . . nope. If Natalie wins, Paulie wins. Even if we get the Screw Hunter twist at the end, Natalie probably would share the money, even if Paulie was an absolute prick, using one hand to pat himself on the back, spitting out red-dyed hair into the other. Uggggggggggghhh. Poor Alan. First of all, do guys named "Alan" do reality shows? Secondly, it must suck to break your arm to get into the game, and then find out it was bad enough to warrant his dismissal. Worse, a "winner" fro Big Brother winds up back in the game. We were out TWO of those assholes, with the bonus that we didn't have to tell the twins apart. But he's back. Once again: uuuuugggggggggghhhhh. Nice to see most of the vets acting true to form: the women bitch each other out, Wes smiles as he sees that his ego has been successfully shipped to "The Bunker," and CT just walks there without much care. I know he wants to win, but he's done the moving thing too often to sweat it. And he was walking with Turbo. You think they might be cousins? Amanda? Honey? The way things had broken down, you were going to be ejected from the game because no guy would pick you. Don't bitch about Josh. Here's the Veteran draft order, in case anybody is interested, or if you're looking back from the finale: MEN: Paulie (seriously, WTF, Natalie?!?), Johnny, Hunter, CT, Wes, Kyle, Leroy, Zach WOMEN: Kam, Da’vonne, Cara Maria, Nany, Natalie (Bad one), Smashley, Jenna, Amanda Whom do I root for? Last time, I was ready to pull for Jemmye & Jenna, but they got bounced way too early.

While we're waiting on the second season (airing April in Japan), I figured this Honest Trailer could tide us over. "Pretty Pretty Offensive" is pretty much exact. ETA: And I already linked it about fourteen months ago. Screw it, I'm keeping it. Also, I'm still reading the manga from the library. I think I'm up to vol. 15; the one with Watchdog Man on the cover and Saitama sticking out of one of his nostrils.

I never thought I'd like an OP Reigen. I just like the idea of evil psychics getting owned, not being able to deal with some tool dismissing their attacks, with Reigen bitching them out the entire time. The part where he compared not having lunch on a school trip to a psychic having to grow up destitute? Icing. The season season is currently airing. Here are the opening credits, once again courtesy of Mob Choir.

You know what I never thought could show up on The Flash? White Zombie. Yet, there's a shootout with Barry and Ralph, scored to "Dragula." That . . . was oddly awesome. When they realized the guns had stun settings, I thought they'd use that to neutralize the wristbands. But nope, they got into a simulated firefight. I think that worked better. For anyone hating Nora, I'm thinking she'll be gone by season's end . . . because if she's thirty years old, Barry and Iris would have to conceive her soon. That sets up a paradox . . . Barry and Iris clearly love each other, but all this Cicada business probably keeps the heat in the bedroom to a minimum. And yeah, I know they're not that affectionate as they should be as characters. The obvious pops into my head . . . but I also figure The Flash is basically one movie rating lower than Arrow. I mean, we wouldn't expect Olicity levels of lovemaking, but it feels like the Arrowverse puts most of those eggs in their basket, if that makes sense. Sherloque basically married the same woman four times. And he faked his death with one of them on two occasions. That's funny. I mean, I'm tired of Infinite Wellses, I wish Tom didn't insist on switching things up every other season (I'm thinking Harry comes back in 2019-20), but seeing Sherloque getting bitched out was better than seeing the Council of Wellses . .. featuring Sprockets Wells, Goodfellas Wells, and Mad Max Wells. I think Iris is out of her depth in trying to "interview" Cicada. She was still impressive, though. And I'm guessing Nora told her about the dollhouse, so smashing that turned him into a gibbering wreck for a few seconds. I like Barry being a doofus. Shit, watch his brief appearance in last night's Arrow. But there should be no way Ralph could have lured him to the truck to get locked in. Dummy!

"I'm very disappointed in you, son. I'm gonna need my knife back." ETA: . ..and here's Arthur taking on the Avenging Son.
