oh, and how do you not love 'Crashlanding City'? great name.

oooh! he shoulda dressed as popeye! that would have made the finale complete. 'my daughter's a bitch, but i eats me spinach . . . '

sad
even though i think leanne did deserve to win and was innovative most of the season, korto could easily have won and i loved her collection. it's just sad, because i think she would've won any other season and she so clearly wanted it. i hope she gets the fashion work she so clearly deserves.

procedurals
i think the main reason i want to see less 'procedural' and more 'complex mythology' on 'fringe' is that i think that's what works best for this concept. i don't think procedural's are worse or better than mythology shows (big 'himym' fan, by the way), but i do find that some shows that try to balace both…

chi
i'm sure its been mentioned before, but i have to say, what keeps this show firmly in my favorites category beyond the imagination and likeable leads is chi mcbride. every time i feel like the show is bordering on smarm or overdosing on cutesy, chi's comments and actions help bring it back close enough to…

influenced
watching tonight, my wife pointed out that she thought korto had a noticeable influence on leanne's collection and vice versa. i don't have as keen an eye, so it's hard for me to tell, but korto's wedding dress did seem a lot more leanne-ish than anything she did on the show before.

dead wrong.

theory
first, astrid works for massive dynamics.

which ones?
see, there's 2 kings of leon on 'because of the times' to me : the moody well-produced folksters of tracks 1,3, and a lot towards the end of the album (the kings i love) and the punky, southern strokes of tracks 2 and most of the middle (the okay kings that i'm less fond of). which kings show up more for…

as horribly natalie-portman-in-'garden state' as riley's character is, it had better be a fucking plot point. she can turn out to be his goddamn daughter for all i care, as long as the quirk-crap comes to an end. the whole high school thing was much better first season, even if it wasn't resolved very well.

i think you're spot on about how linda hamilton's sarah from 't2' would have been way too high strung for weekly visits, but i think you're misreading lena's sarah this week. remember, this is the man she theoretically loved and who she didn't marry basically out of her own inability to stop thinking that the world…

it's hard for me to think of barney saying 'suit up' now without thinking of the 'family guy' spoof of 'himym' with barney and ted.

ted and marshall aren't film buffs or cultural critics. they're just guys who grew up watching 'star wars'. it makes perfect sense that that movie would be like linus' blanket to ted.

favorite robot chicken sketch
i love the breakdancing voltron sketch and the 'darkest sketch ever' always makes me laugh, but the best one has to be the famous bit about darth vader calling the emperor about the death star. 'you got an atm on that chest light bright of yours?'

and who are you?
. . . to stop recapping now? keep recapping g.g., just because this is the most positive, least irony-laden comments board i've ever seen on the avclub. maybe its because i'm watching the show with a bunch of 12 year olds, but a lack of snark makes reading comments so much easier. maybe everyone's…

god, it's so sad that i noticed that too.

more
up until 'ghosts i-iv,' i would have picked nine inch nails 'a warm place'. and i don't care what anybody says, i love 'flying' by the beatles.

obvious reference
i'm sure referencing kevin smith is terribly obvious, but he sums up my feelings perfectly. he said something to the effect that you wouldn't want to see a movie adaptation of 'catcher in the rye,' because no film could capture a piece of art that clearly exists best in book form. that's how i feel…

saw him open for the black keys
and, while the keys were cool, it was a fact universally agreed upon that jay was fucking fantastic - an awesome, rock n rock n fucking roll show that outdid the headliner for raw power.

HEY!
i like 'robot chicken.'
