Noticed in one of these eps - I think it was Picture - John says "speciality", like the British way. Possibly the Aussie way. Definitely not the American way.

The Way We Weren't - not much more to say that wasn't already said. How can such a good episode rely on the interaction between actors and a puppet? Frell me dead.

Another awesome thing about this episode that I don't think got a mention - D'Argo's attempts to suss out just how likely it is the light is going to affect him. FUNNY AS SHIT.

It's kind of an overcorrection of Superman Returns. It had the things that it didn't have that people wished it did, and none of the things that were occasionally good about it. The result isn't that much better - but I think it is better.

Especially in Superman IV, where he frantically cries out "Stop! Don't do it! The people!"

I admit that bugged me a bit too - after something like that, not only do we not hear about it again but Kirk still gets his 5-year mission? I was like, wait…they still get to make decisions like that?

I don't know if I'd call this movie intentionally incompetent - I just hate it for the same reason I hate most of Rodriguez's movies, because I think it's gimmicky bullshit.

Yeah, the sword-killing of T'raltixx was just brutal - STAB, TWIST - I don't recall if John ever had to do something like that again, but he certainly hadn't before.

Phew. Thought he was pulling a "half the staff of the avclub".

Hey wait - no "next time on"? 

@avclub-f5fc0943a2d597c869afec4103a54605:disqus , as I mention below, I think it makes a certain Crichton-preserving sense to kill Aeryn, because with things going to shit Crichton would probably get himself killed against her, and it also makes sense not to do anything TOO savage to Chiana, because that would…

SPOILERS, I suppose

One thing that struck me as almost as ugly as John's creeping on Chiana - how he very unambiguously talks to D'Argo as if he were a dog. I get the feeling that that's like talking to Geordi LaForge like he's a monkey, and this scene might've gone somewhere very different if D'Argo knew what Crichton's cultural context…

I guess beyond what I mostly discovered on my own it'd have to be my dad. He had this little shelf of sci-fi paperbacks behind his desk, which I always regarded with a lot of wonder and most of which I did get around to reading. He always encouraged my interests in sci-fi (and science in general), though he was pretty…

The Video Movie Guide, starting in 1986. Tons of reviews, AND I could look up movies by star and director? I never even knew to care about directors before that.

Cue the "Aw, Superman's boring".

Never even bothered with Hatchet II…for all the movie-poster hype about how Hatchet wasn't a remake or a sequel and instead was Original American Horror, it was your basic z- (well, d-) grade slasher movie which didn't have many parts I hadn't seen a dozen times before in better movies.
