I think The Flax has to air just before Jeremiah Crichton to make the teaser scene on JC work, with John driven up the wall by being confined on the ship (i.e. with an obvious and once-almost-acted-on sexual tension with a maddeningly attractive crewmember who's suddenly all business again).
 
It's easy to see why RIB…

I'd see this Batman movie.

Blue Valentine.

Yeah…it's not that a bunch of good writers have left or are leaving, but that a bunch of them seem to be doing it at the same time. Maybe I'm just seeing a pattern where none exists, or maybe I'm just really out of touch and there's some heavy issue around here I have no clue about.

Oh, goddammit. (leaps off bridge)

I don't even like U2 at all - but I would've loved to have read his take on this.

What I liked about this column under its original author is that it looked at the albums and their place in the world in their time and since. This is just about the music on the album, and at most, its place in the band's history - a more basic album-review article.

Bring me "A Fifth Of Beethoven" or perish in flames!

The fact that Batroc Ze Leapair is in this movie is on its own, enough to make me want to see it. However, more than anything else I want him to have flawlessly awesome, French-accented trash talk. I have been assured that GSP can pull off the accent.

The best thing about horta is that you can serve it with a caesar salad and nobody can tell it's not lasagna.

I don't hate Jeremiah Crichton quite as much as is generally deemed acceptable either, but I think that's mostly because it's a rare Rygel episode, and I love me some Rygel. I don't mean to suggest that it isn't terrible, because it is, I just have a little affection for it.

Haha, yeah. As I said last week I'm not sure they ever really knew what they were doing with Zhaan, and having random superpowers crop up only to never appear again didn't exactly give her focus and direction.

Good news for you then! You'll have to wait a while though.

I don't dislike D'Argo's backstory (despite him getting arguably the worst A-story episodes, namely Vitas Mortis), but I always thought the psychodrama way they revealed it in this episode is the first just rock-stupid, awful decision this show made - like a bump-on-the-head amnesia story in reverse. I find this…

I was always a little unsure how the Huntsmen were supposed to work - you kill one and the rest get more powerful. What happens when they're down to like, five; do they have super-strength and -speed, etc? I don't remember if there were ever any moments that actually demonstrated this group ability, or if it was just…

Time for a Rise Of The Guardians type story with all the missing dads teaming up to have a fundraiser or some shit.

The first book stands out well on its own, as does The Castle Of Llyr which from what I remember was a mostly humorous detour novel without much "big narrative" impact. And The Black Cauldron doesn't need a hell of a lot of intro, anyone slightly familiar with fantasy tropes will recognize how everything's laid out…

The subplot with the evil wizard - Mordu? Mordja? I know I'm cribbing those from other fictional universes but it was along those lines - I think further exacerbated that lonely feeling as a kid too, because what few colourful sidekicks did come along were turned into voles or something for that subplot. I think it…

I loved this series to death as a kid - it's what basically got me into reading fiction for pleasure. I was a voracious reader before that, but it was mostly non-fiction and stuff about dinosaurs.

Though he was coming at that argument from what appeared to be a place of ignorance, it sparked off a hell of a great read in the pouring in of readers' thoughts on the issue on both sides.
