I’ve been watching #CaptainAmerica: The Winter Soldier for more than a decade, and I’m only just now noticing that Robert Redford’s fridge has a jar of Paul Newman’s marinara sauce. Well played, Marvel - well played. Butch and Sundance live!

It’s rarely included in the pantheon of Greatest TV Episodes, but “Sex and the City’s” “The Post-It Always Rings Twice” is on my list. Cracks me up every time.

One of the more common criticisms of “Star Trek: Section 31” is that it plays like a failed TV pilot, which is why I’m just gonna call it “Star Trek: Fox Force Five”

The increased practice of going for it on 4th down is an analytics success story and easily the best thing about modern football.

[Me yesterday] My New Year’s Resolution is to finally shake my lifelong habit of deeply reveling in any and all humiliations of Duke, no matter how large or small.

Jor-El: “I will abide by the decision of the council. Neither I nor my wife will leave Krypton.”

Lara: “Last I checked, I’m not on the council. YOU stay here and get blown up to make a point. The baby and I are leaving!”
- If my wife and I were Superman’s parents.

I’m 5 minutes in to “No Good Deed” on Netflix and the fact that there aren’t already 10 multi-million-dollar offers on that Los Feliz house is messing with my suspension of disbelief.

Upon seeing Ted Danson and Susan Ruttan in Netflix's "A Man on the Inside" I squealed, "Yay - it's NBC's Must-See TV Thursday Nights again!!!" Ironically, I think that qualifies ME for a senior center.

So, how many just KNEW the Washington Commanders' kicker would miss that GW xtra point vs. the Cowboys? After missing earlier, getting another chance this time with the game on the line has gotta mess with your head.
More proof that the brain comes with a pretty nifty self-destruct system.

Hot take:
If the show doesn’t take place on the Enterprise, it’s not “Star Trek.” It’s sparkling sci-fi.
