I'm ambivalent about last night's episode. The Pythonesque animated sequence was amazing, but tangential. I'm glad Olivia is finally starting to behave like Olivia again (with lines and everything!) and I love the Child-Observer mythology so I was glad to see the kid again. The scavenger hunt itself has turned out to…

METAPHOR, Frank, METAPHOR. ;)

I totally forgot they went to the moon. How surreal. They went from the moon to robotic pants to washing windows and baking pies. It's like a metaphor for my own life.

There is nothing psychiatrically amiss with you Zamrod2 (I mean there may be, but not because you don't love The Hobbit). I kind of know what you mean by "bloated." It's not long, obviously, but Tolkien does have a style of incorporating a lot of detail, some of which slows down the story. If you're deeply into the…

I've had a few friends I've considered my "best," but sadly they've always had someone else they consider their best friend. My closest friend for about a decade considered someone she had gone to school with her "best friend" and would often tell me so, which sucked, because that friend hardly ever contacted her and…

Awesome.

As the phrase "I like Esau am anhairy man" is unpunctuated and makes no sense, I read it as "I like Esau. Am anhairy man." Which also makes no sense.

It happens to me even when I'm not driving. I eat a slice of pizza and then think "whoa - what the hell happened to my pizza?"

"The idea that we all need our own personal kitchens (which take up quite a bit of space here) seems absurd." Most people in the developed world actually do have their own kitchens. "Absurd" might be an overstatement.

It comes in pints.

I read an article yesterday about teal & orange colour grading. It ruined not only this clip, but my life.

I feel that way about everything on Ace of Cakes. It's Play-Doh!

They look better.

I think her eye makeup is utterly ridiculous here.

He was kind of oafish in that, and he does have weird bloated lips. Every time he said "Aliena" I wanted to slap him.

Is a "lass action suit" especially for girls?

I've never seen Altered States and I have no idea what was going on in that trailer, but I am Freaked. Out.

Yesterday I read a post about how catfish have taught themselves to catch pigeons. I left an offhanded comment which said "wow, the apocalypse really is nigh" and got a very angry and poorly written response from someone explaining exactly why this phenomenon is not an indicator of the end of all things. So some…

I'm not sure what your argument is here, You say "Faith is more than just uncompromising belief in a diety [sic]" but then you say Olivia didn't mention "God" or Jesus," so her wasn't a religious impulse. You can call it faith if you want. Either way, this episode was about faith vs. reason, and faith won, which is a…
