My only problem is that every time they mention his name I get earwormed with "the lot it fell first upon Henry Morgan, the youngest of the three" ... which isn't too bad, but since I can't sing and don't remember anything after that verse, is annoying.
You have the emotional maturity of a blueberry scone.

Hm, enough of you are enjoying Forever to make me think about giving it a watch. Like I need more TV, but I like whatshisname who will probably always be SMG's husband from that twin show to me. And I liked New Amsterdam

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I think it was one of those one word titles? Not Revenge, not Scandal...anyway, I liked it well enough, but I loved the recaps that one of the Fug Girls used to do. So funny.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I watched the whole season of that. Great cast but terrible writing.

I don't know why, but the presence of cell phones in Gotham threw me for a loop. Or, I do know why, but I'm not sure if my assumption was valid.
Story-wise, sometimes the existence of cellphones ruins things. There's so many more ways for shit to go wrong without that instant communication, which makes for tension-gold. And yes, like the X-Files showed, cellphones made stories possible as well, along with connecting the main characters without them being in the same scene. But sometimes I miss how a story could generate drama that a cell phone would undermine.
Maybe writers today don't know how to tell a story without?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
But the non-existence of cell phones would ruin things--it would be like American cops without guns--it's your job to write around it, because basic plausibility should be front and centre.
