Blast Hardcheese!

That's a perfectly acceptable use of an ellipse, then! Good work.

So The Big Short but with more montages of people running around with armfuls of tulip bulbs? Sounds good to me.

Star Trek: The Next Generation goes in italics because it's the title of the series, as would First Contact because it's a movie. "All Good Things…" goes in quotation marks because it's the title of one episode. Of course, it depends on your style guide of choice, but that's the usual way it's done. Long works get

Better. As long as we're being technical, though, the episode title should be in quotation marks. Of course, we all know what you mean, because we're big ol' nerds.

Aw man, I was hoping you meant that some mischievous Trekkies had filed a brief written entirely in Klingon, ostensibly on behalf of the Klingon Empire itself. That would have been more fun.

You reword it so it doesn't end in an ellipse.

It continues to amaze me how none of these are ever funny out of context.

I preemptively approve of any and all album titles that incorporate Futurama references. Not enough to actually buy them, just in general.

No, no, you're thinking of the late Earl Warren.

Ooh, jock condescension vs. nerd condescension! One night only! Takin' all bets!

True, but man am I sick of looking.

Well, that explains the AV Club's office's conspicuous new Free Birdseed dispenser.

Thanks! I'll need it!

We do?

Awesome! But also, GAH!

That… doesn't help, no.
