The "Where ARE you? I have to FIND you… to TELL you…" business reminds me of an absolutely hilarious Kevin Costner movie that I feel like no one in the US saw, called Dragonfly or something.

Congrats, Rabin!
"perpetually apoplectic" is a fantastic sequence of syllables.

"those big yellow ones" is one of my very favorite moments of the entire series.

"What about all that stuff we wanted?? Can we still have it???!"
"No!"
"Yaaaaaaarghhhhhhh!"

Oh my god, I've had a lot of thoughts about the Simpsons' influence on generations X and Y, but somehow it never occurred to me before to wonder: what would we be like if the Simpsons had never existed? It's almost impossible to imagine.

"Parades just bring out so many emotions in me! Joy, excitement, looking…"

Question:
Are we supposed to know who Lydia is and why she had a parrot? Was this just random, or was it one of those jokes I'm not worldly enough to get?

"Happy Valentine's Day, no one!"

Maybe you got confused about the result showing that Jack wasn't a compatible kidney donor? Parents and children aren't necessarily donor-compatible (siblings either).

I think you meant to say "crushing it." And you're kinda wrong.

We had them at the state fair back in Minnesota: every year there's a beauty pageant to select one girl in all the state to become the Butter Queen. Her likeness is immortalized in butter and she then exercises the celebrity of her reign to promote the dairy industry.

comparisons…
I know it's fairly apples and oranges apart from the apocalyptic aspect, but I just watched a couple old episodes from Terminator Sarah Connor Chronicles. That show had its flaws (notably the all-too-common sin of advancing the plot too slowly for long stretches), but the writing was absolutely…

Is he also the only reviewer with tenure?

Not only that, but the images shown were completely off-the-wall unrealistic. "Internal MRI camera"? Give me a break. Ridiculous.

Weakest episode of the new season.
Compared to a typical 30 Rock, to say nothing of the glorious 2nd season, the pace kind of crawled. Felt all-around lackluster, uninspired, and even the random single-line zingers didn't provide very much relief this time around.

damn Pam
In general I like the Pam character, and don't particularly care whether they make her out to be a failure or not, but I was bothered in this episode by the fact that consulting the law applicable to the terms of the lease should have been the first thing anyone would have thought to do, administrator or not.

Michael does Ping? Ping from Project Runway? Cross-promotion! We can't escape synergy.

That was exactly one half of my reaction. Seems to me LK is unintentionally funny all the time, and that doesn't necessarily mean he won't be unintentionally funny while trying to be intentionally funny.

religion
I can't help but wonder whether his schizophrenic paranoia might have played itself out in a less bloody fashion if we didn't have a society that so readily encourages people to steep themselves in supernatural superstition. Some absurdly high percentage of Americans believe in the physical reality of angels…

@sevenzarkseven: These zombies only seem to be attracted to noise and motion, so it makes sense they wouldn't be setting off motion detectors without any stimuli to react to.
