John Saxon is only obscure to the dullard.

From what I've read, the study of Neanderthal DNA indicated the presence of the genes for light hair (including red hair). I think the light skin is consistent with the general latitude/melanin level correlation found in pre-Columbian modern human populations, considering the range of Neanderthals and the time that…

I've heard about soap opera stars walking down the street and having little old ladies walk up and slap them. I imagine as an actor, if you can generate that kind of emotion, good or bad, from viewers, it's got to count for something. Of course, the character is written to be that annoying.

I think you got it- without Herschel, Lori will probably die in childbirth, or at least lose the baby.

How funny. Yeah, he could have just gone crazy. It would explain the weak 'and patient X.... WAS MY WIFE!!11!11!' I hate that kind of 'coincidental' event in fiction.

Plus, zombification could be like certain influenza responses. In the great influenza epidemic of 1918, it was shown that the healthier and younger the victim, the more likely the person would die, in that the healthy body's aggressive response ended up being the agent of death. Perhaps someone in good shape like…

Have you ever read any of Stephen King's "Dark Tower" series? He establishes that the world of "The Stand" isn't our Earth (of course not, since Captain Trips never happened here). I look at it sort of like that- the world of "The Walking Dead" comics is a parallel Earth where the whole mythology of zombies never…

Poor Lori. Imagine if there are an infinite number of universes, and your life is actually 'fiction' viewable in another universe, and even amid the huge die-off of a zombie apocalypse, you're so annoying that people want you dead.

The moustache wax is actually the layer of grease that collects at the top of a can of Hormel chili.

Blowjob and martini? You're not married, are you?

I know it's hard for people inside the Beltway to imagine, but there's a whole rest of the planet that doesn't live there.

Yeah, I think pretty much every horse within the country appeared in the films., and I imagine every Tolkien fan within New Zealand showed up somewhere in the films. I remember a lot of internet chatter when the first films were in preproduction about 'man, I'm going to NZ to be an extra!' and then people checked out…

Careful, stef_mo might require you to give up your internet privileges through guilt by association. After all, with all the misogyny, racism, hate speech in general and bullying in the specific found in internet comments, suggesting that 'Rich, famous guy uses connections to do something that fans among the hoi…

Correct. Nit duly picked.

True. However, only a very limited pool of fans can and will be extras.

Not really. I've just been baffled from the preplanning of "The Lord of the Rings" and now with the "Hobbit" trilogy why Wing Nut and/or the New Zealand tourism authorities didn't do a 'Willa Wonka Golden Ticket'-type contest for Tolkien fans to get to be extras.

Would have been more interesting if Jackson et al. would have chosen a "nobody" fan at random for a cameo.

I couldn't get past the leather jock strap on his face.

Hadn't heard that before. It sure is dusty in here...

Was that the season with "Planet of the 19th Century Stereotypes of Irish Drunks" or "The Planet of 'Where the White Women At?'" It took a lot of cajoling to get me to start watching "ST:TNG" after some time in the fourth season.
