Great work on these reviews, Zack! I'd seen scattered episodes here and there and knew of most of the famous ones (through Simpsons or other parodies), but I'd never actually gone through the series before. These reviews provided the impetus to do so and served as a fantastic companion piece along the way. So kudos…

You've muddled everything! If you had started the revolution as I planned I could have stepped in and placed Freedonia under the Sylvanian flag!

You ain't thinking of getting rid of the dank, are you, Moe?

Man alive! There are… men alive in here!

I do consider this an absolute masterpiece, but fair enough review. However, I do take issue with your assertion that the first third is devoid of atmosphere. The first part is almost bucolic in the extreme from Ellen idyllically playing with the cat to Hutter's relentlessly chipper demeanor. It makes the encroaching…

You might try some of Guy Maddin's films for some modern silent-ish cinema. His short The Heart of the World is a good place to start: http://www.youtube.com/watc…

The Spanish version of Dracula is better in most respects except, as @avclub-920530cb8744c679e3a2ece84f1d5ce4:disqus mentions, the lead performance doesn't hold a candle to Lugosi's. It's sort of frustrating watching both because afterwards you'll just wish Lugosi could somehow have been swapped into the Spanish…

Where is there any indication that they went and sunk the ship? I thought the closing narration suggested that there was no report whatsoever of a ship sinking (or even going missing). I understood it more like a sailing off to the Grey Havens type situation.

@avclub-ab7d240c84d7265faec0b698a29c6ca7:disqus , except they've already pulled something like this earlier in the season when they just "couldn't decide" and shipped everyone off to Gordon's restaurant. I don't think there's any doubt that challenge was planned. And while I'm sure there is some flexibility (say a…

A for effort? Fuck that noise! This show finally had a perfect opportunity to send Krissi, but because of stupid Paula Deen and her five person challenge she gets to stick around. As if people needed more reasons to hate Paula Deen.

Wow, you weren't kidding about the shitty makeup and poor acting in Cliffordville. It felt as if Salmi was just learning to talk while doing the episode. Also, seldom have I seen a bald cap so noticeable.

I'll take a crab juice.

I'm no Harvey Globetrotter, but…

Heads up, little girl!

Are you kidding me? Think of how fast they were able to build that statue of him. They'll be able to slice him up and cure him in a matter of hours. Then they'll have meat for eons. His bones and space suit are also of trove of resources. In death he truly is the most the most generous god.

All I need is four stout men to work the bellows!

I haven't actually read the books or seen the movies (beyond a RiffTrax accompanied first one), but it's my understanding that in the Twilight series the werewolf basically claims a baby to be his future bride. So I wouldn't say everyone has progressed from the ideas presented in the very end of this episode.

Agree. Such a good song. Though the review is spot on. Everything here is terrific and feels a part of a really amazing whole.

Bake him away, toys.

Extra! Extra! Todd Smells!
