Spoiler
The fact that Chrissy's four individual immunity wins were not as useful as Ben finding three idols in a row is disappointing. The biggest twist now would be a season with no idols.
Also, is this the first season where you can play an idol past the final five? I always thought that was the cut-off point.

What.
Controlled demolitions is one misguided conspiracy theory, but controlled demolitions five years later?
I think (hope) it's a misplaced preposition. So it should read that in 2006, Charlie Sheen shared the ideas with Alex Jones.

The problem was that the show became all about Sylar, when Hiro and Noah (HRG) were clearly more popular. They really should have had him becoming good stick, or killed him off. I gave up after the first half of season three, watched a couple of random episodes from season four, then never looked back. And during seasons one and two, it was my favorite show.
Heroes definitely gets my vote.
During Season One I was obsessed. The writer's strike in 2007 was the cause of the downfall. Also, the characters got too popular to kill off, like they initially planned.

My promotion will be PLUS Pro Wrestling and I'm looking for a simple logo. A large plus sign with rounded edges and "wrestling" written inside the horizontal of the plus sign. The sign itself should be colored and "wrestling" should be white. If it isn't too much trouble, I'd like a few different versions with different colors (red, blue, green, pink, etc.).
Thanks so much!

It's an arbitrary date probably. It's just a twist to somehow do something different than previous seasons.
I think in most situations (Brains v. Brawn v. Beauty), they are cast first and the theme comes later.

I think I'm the only one in the world who didn't like his debut. In the comics, I always got the impression he was fast-talking and loud. Hearing near-deadpan "pee pants city" made me laugh.

I stopped as soon as i saw "nancy grace."

Yeah, yahoo has been telling everyone to "stay tuned for an announcement" for a while now. It'd be a pretty big dick move for the announcement to be "it's cancelled."

This time I went with:

Re: those comic spoilers
If they're starting to adhere more to the comics, then what role(s) is/are there for Noah? (aside from background/cannon fodder) -
About the last episode..
Was Gabriel even on screen once? I don't remember even seeing him in the background or huddle up with the group in the house.. I found myself thinking I missed him die at some point because I didn't see him at all. I really wanted to see more Gabriel interaction with Maggie and the others or lack thereof (but not by being completely off screen).
Good call. He's played such a minor role I had forgotten about him completely. I don't recall seeing him at all.
Odd that they switched Monroe's gender.

Last night's show was the best since the mid-season break.
I have to give the show credit. With the way they draw things out, I expected it to take multiple episodes of long conversations and even longer walks on the road for them to arrive at Alexandria. -
Beyond all the already mentioned gripes, there were headlines all week leading up quoting Andrew Lincoln as saying that this half of the season is going to be like a completely different show and then that episode seemed just like more of the same.

The decision to split by collars was made after the cast had been selected, so I figured there'd be a few that were a stretch.

I felt like the first half of the season dragged out Korra's injury and the second half rushed to the ending. It was particularly disappointing that her reconnection to the older avatars took two seconds in the spirit world and a quick explanation of "I was with you the whole time" from Raava. They'd made such a big deal about it in the past and then it wasn't used or mentioned at all afterwards. A conversation with Aang about making Kuvira surrender instead of outright killing her would've helped connect some lose strings.

This. fucking. season, though.

Lindsey’s CBS bio says her claim to fame is “Rising above all obstacles with a smile, by myself.”

Garrett and David were basically both the epitome of "smart" Survivor players who are playing with endgame in mind from day one, which is an absolutely stupid decision at the start of the game. If David had made the right call and sent Kass on the helicopter, J'Tia would have been voted off after the first challenge and the Brains wouldn't have lost the second one.
This. It's happened a few times in more recent seasons--people deciding they'd rather vote out their most physically gifted member instead of a weak link way too early on. If this were just days before the merge then, sure, it's smart. But David gunning for Garrett from the get-go was ridiculous. Also, Tasha crying because she couldn't get the chance to "play survivor" was laughable.
I might've missed it but did Jeff explain the new rules of the Hidden Immunity Idol? Ironic that someone was voted out with an Idol in their pocket the first episode with that rule change.

This was the first Community episode this season that seemed off. I get what they were trying to do with each storyline, but as Benkid put it, everything seemed rushed. Especially Abed's scenes. I can't wrap my head around him intentionally ruining the professor's papers.

Has a tribe ever imploded so quickly?
-
I didn't watch the videos, either. I guess it comes down to the fact everybody on the Beauty tribe compared themselves to the obvious people ever (Boston Rob and Parvati) and that question wasn't included for Brice. My guess is that the Beauty tribe will likely not be filled with fans, haha.
Brice compared himself to Ozzy, Cirie and Colton. That last one is worrisome.

Even though the end result was a little anti-climactic, Tribal was gold tonight.

The battle was good, but more deaths would have made it better. I think it's symptomatic of the showrunners being ahead of the books. There's no way GRRM does a battle like that and doesn't off a main character.
I'm fine with Arya being the one to kill the Night King. It gives Melissandre's whole return (and entire plot line, basically). Beric was resurrected all those times in order to save Arya. Even the Hound, who Beric said was "touched by the Lord of the Light" played a part in keeping her alive all this time. Plus, you have Bran giving her the dagger when she returned to Winterfell, as if he knew what was going to happen.
