I like Jool just fine - the show's creators seem like they knew what they were making with her, at least, which sets her apart from the other redhead.

Or, more to the point, like D'Argo/Crichton get. Those two get to be good buddies, but the three women on Moya are different enough that it's hard to imagine any two of them becoming actual friends.

The politics bit is interesting - it's the act of somebody who's losing hope about getting home.

Also…so we're two seasons in, and I've read the words "Bechdel Test" more times in the last month than I have in my entire life.

Shit, I had a largely coherent post written up about this in my work email and now it's down for the weekend. Harrumph.

Goddammit I hate this band.

It's certainly a much more effective hook for the curious than "here's a 12-minute-long song recorded in the woods where everything's so trebly you won't even know when the vocals begin".

Remember when the first movie was fresh and swashbuckling fun and Jack Sparrow was a charming hero that was unlike anything out there?

Gonna be light on the storytelling, then.

Sure, but as any really big fan will tell you music is only part of the picture when it comes to black metal, something that generally hasn't been claimed about other metal subgenres.

I wouldn't call Varg batshit insane so much as a superstitious fool (and now, hilarious beggar for spare change to sue a foreign government after they were nice enough to let a convicted murderer in at all, even citing the ol' "First they came for the…"), but I don't think it's entirely accurate to say he raised black…

My pop culture '83 - narrowly missing an early ticket to my metal-loving destiny, as detailed in another comments section. Doomed to about five or six more years of variably embarrassing pop.

That's at least 3/4 crazy talk.

The video for "You Could Be Mine" - doubly promoting both Use Your Illusion and Terminator 2 - was probably the most incredibly excitement-creating hype artifact ever created.

It's a largely universal cultural touchstone for a broadly-defined generation - but I do remember a cover of Starlog in the late 80's that asked, "Is Star Wars fandom dead?"

I had twenty bucks on Oderus Urungus getting the role.

Have I heard correctly that Fogler is actually an accomplished stage actor? Because it seems that movie-wise he's like three Dane Cooks in one.

No mention of The Human Target? It was the Manimal of its day.

I remember Testament for being depressing as shit, and First Name: Carmen for being a regular feature on Showcase on Friday nights, if you know what I mean (you probably don't unless you're Canadian and at least 30).

Liked for there being a like already
