1.) It’s amazing that a high-profile show could be doomed from the start simply by how awful the title was but… SELFIE managed it.

2.) Have we already done Avengers 2/The Amazing Spader-Man jokes or are we waiting for the actual film’s release?

3.) Why would they have made Missy the Rani or Romana with zero set-up for new viewers? That would have been awful television writing.

4.) Top Stories on Facebook is like having a television that always turns on to some insipid Friends rerun first, because it was popular once.

5.) If I ever need a stage name to be in a terrible kung-fu flick, I’m going with Pierre Kurtzberg, as a compound homage.

6.) If I ever review bad Mexican B-movies, I think I’ll use the pen name “Cero Estrellas”.

7.) Nothing says love like being told that difficulty finding gainful employ during the 2nd Great Depression means you should be committed.

8.) Trying to describe my backpack as full of both “scraps” and “manuscripts” I invented the word “manuscraps” and, damn, it fits.

9.) Unrequited love is fine to feel but it’s efficacious as trying to wish your own fan-fiction real.
