Oh, also also:

You make good point, Lone, but I would've found it more satisfying if Peter then *hadn't* jumped to "It's not about saving this world—it's about destroying yours!" Just leave it at "Yeah, I don't trust this guy. Let's get out of here, Obvious-real-reason-I-came-back."

John Noble is the fucking man.

Solid A Material
I loved this episode, really. Especially:
1. That they DIDN'T interrupt Olivia & Peter's kiss. That would've been so fucking tedious (and, come to think of it now, I should've guessed that they were setting up something even worse).
2. William Bell kicking ass.
3. William Bell pretending to be a

Fair enough, jerrys.

He has songs of wildebeests and angels.

@Dominic:
Pistols at dawn, sir! I name Moffatt as my second!

I didn't used to like Doctor Who
I think I might be alone in all the geek-world, but I didn't like the David Tennant Doctor. His shifts between slapstick and serious often seemed too drastic, too sudden…something just seemed a little jarring (and not in a good way) about his performance. Part of it is probably because

That makes a lot of sense, Snugglesaurus.

Walter's German, so I guess that's true in both universes.

Sadly, Hulu only has the 3 most recent episodes up.

Greatest episode.

Troy's greeting was Apollo greeting the Governator in Predator. I kind of wish they'd have done the whole close-up-on-bulging-biceps handshake thing. Especially since neither Troy nor Jeff have especially bulging biceps.

This is how it's done.
Abed's wall-jump over Jeff probably rivals Jack's wall-kicking first appearance in 30 ROCK for "best character entrance on TV". At least for me.

Annie's pretty young; we try not to sexualize her.

I was a little worried
When they started the time-traveling bit, I was worried they were going to get a bit too Bill-S-Preston-Esquire on us, but I really should've known better.

Fuck yes
Now this is more like it.

I don't mind that it's not straight-up Serious Drama, as that can certainly get tedious at times (hi, Damages!), but there seems to be a marked shift in tone from the pilot to the following episodes. Running with Viofrous' example, I half-expected snarky text to flash on the screen Burn Notice-style in the first scene
