How tall is Walt? I always thought he was just a bit taller than Ming. Reason I'm asking is because when he is talking to Lindsay they look about the same height. I've actually worked with Lindsay years ago. I'm 5'11" and she was my height with heels.

I know she's been discussed a bit around here, but Katrina Law seems really awesome in real life. As someone who has only seen her on Spartacus and Arrow, I thought she really did have an accent. I never looked into her background and was surprised to see she is from Jersey.

You would think that someone close to Walt might actually tell him that since he's on TV he should really look into some teeth whitening treatments.

What the hell was up with all of the POG love?

Weren't those things a huge flop? It always felt like some marketing people tried to cook up a prefabricated fad that ended up being a huge running joke?

And, yes, Katrina Law comes off like an awesome chick.

Pogs were huge in the early to mid nineties. My little brother had tons of them.

I thought the same thing. After the episode I looked her up in IMDB, and was quite surprised she wasn't from New Zealand.

She does pull off that accent pretty well on Arrow. Katrina was just about the only reason to watch Training Day on CBS.

They ripped her off on that Batman 232. It was a pretty shitty copy. I doubt that she actually bought it, though.

Yeah, she went to Deptford Highschool which is right around where I grew up in South Jersey. Ming said she was a Jersey Girl, but there is a difference between South Jersey and North Jersey. North Jersey is all NY, and South Jersey is all Philadelphia, as our state is essentially 2 different worlds.

One of my co-workers lives right on the line of Central Jersey, and he said his street is 1/2 Eagles fans, 1/2 Giants fans.

I wouldn't be offended if you said 'Fuck Philly' as I'm used to it by now. The way some of my fellow Philly sports fans act sometimes, we deserve it. Heck, even the Governor of our state called us a bunch of low-lifes.

Is the season finished? No new episodes last week or this week.

They're doing the same thing as last year. CBM stopped airing when Into the Badlands started running following TWD.

Last season was only 13 episodes. 13 have been shown this season, but epguides.com is showing a 14th episode airing on April 9. So maybe it will come back briefly after TWD ends its season.

Chris Hardwick announced at the end of "Talking Dead" that three episodes of CBM would air in April.

The best thing they could give Tom Cavanagh was a Funko Pop Reverse Flash figure? How about the comic with the first appearance of the Reverse Flash?

Funko product placement?

There were, like, a thousand of those at Barnes & Noble when I was there a couple of days ago. I think they're about to hit Beanie Baby-level saturation.

There isn't a ton of Reverse Flash merchandise. The only ones I know of are an action figure and a couple of posters.

We need a Reverse Flash statue.

I really wish they'd have kids on the show every once in a while. I know adults drive the market, but seeing their joy when they first get into comics is great. I know parents must bring them into the store.

It is back for season 7.

Did Mike Zapcic use Just for Men or did he age rapidly between seasons 6-7?

The guy with the ZZ Top beard makes this show as he has something smartass to say in every segment. He pretty much rags on Ming every chance he gets.
