So this week is pants-themed? Okay: when I was taking the SAT, I unexpectedly started my period. I realized it in the middle of taking one of the sections, but we couldn't leave the room, and there was nothing I could do. When we finally had a break, I slunk off to the bathroom to try to deal with the situation, but…

My knowledge of AP Style tells me you shouldn't be italicizing Associated Press. They're a news organization, not an independent publication. You got it right when you referred to "Forbes and CNN" because Forbes is the magazine and CNN is the entire entity of CNN. It's the difference between saying ABC News and ABC…

That episode just destroyed me the first time I saw it. I think I get why Delenn decided to go into the quarantine zone. In college, I volunteered in an AIDS hospice. This was in the mid-'90s, when the drugs weren't all that great yet. People were dying quite horribly, and many of them were members of at least one…

Sure, no way would Bester ever lie about that!

Browder went to drama school in London and met his British wife there, so I'm sure he knows a bad accent from a good one. I always assumed it was an intentional choice because Crichton is constantly out of his depth and just treading water for survival.

Yeah, I thought they were the same person when I was a kid.

I'm gonna be the nitpicker today, because what else will I do with this information? Rocky Horror was partly filmed at Bray Studios, but the exterior shots of the "Frankenstein Place" and a fair amount of the interiors were shot at nearly Oakley Court, a large house which is now a fancy hotel. A bunch of Hammer films…

I'm OK! Having a pretty good day so far, health-wise. Don't take it for granted when you don't feel bad, people.

Yeah, it sucks, but you CAN have more than one thing. When I was diagnosed with MS, a helpful medical professional pointed out that MS is rarely fatal, and most people who have it die from something else entirely! Hooray, I guess?

Yeah, looks like iTunes has a bunch of Les Baxter albums. How am I supposed to NOT buy Space Escapade (1958)? I mean, the album art alone - I would frame that and hang it up in my house!

40 IS youthful compared to the earlier lot of subscribers.

I know it's beloved by a lot of people, but I HATED Pushing Daisies. I really tried -  I watched probably 6 or 7 episodes before just giving up. And that's when I learned that I do have a maximum whimsy threshold.

Moonlighting had a bunch. There's "Good Lovin'" in "Atomic Shakespeare," a couple of songs (including "Blue Moon") in the black-and-white episode, and the others mentioned. Probably more that I'm forgetting because I remember a ton about that show, but haven't watched it in 20 years.

I also over-identified with Liz Lemon. The scene where she's at a bar and a man sends her a drink and she says, "I already have a drink. Do you think he would buy me some mozzarella sticks?" Yes. And when she accidentally refers to women as "they." And when she sits on her couch wearing a slanklet while eating a block…

Yeah, they're all full of stab-holes now.

I like that too. I'm usually not a fan of body-function humor, but it's so important for the show's world-building and the visceral sense of how alien everything is for Crichton. He's like a pre-schooler out there in terms of being able to take care of himself. He finds that he barely knows anything at all about the…

One of my dogs kept watching the TV too, like she wasn't sure whether she should do something about this mysterious dog she could hear, but not smell. This same dog angrily peed on the floor in front of the TV at the end of the pilot for Game of Thrones, when the direwolves are heard howling, but Kazak just bewildered…

I sat through a trailer for this before Wreck-It Ralph and it was awful and seemed to go on forever. I am actively rooting for this movie's failure.

My husband and I DVR Conan, then watch it whenever we want something in the background while we're having dinner, because god forbid we should have a normal conversation or eat at the actual dining room table.

This episode was also the first time I heard "River." It floored me and I bought a Joni Mitchell greatest hits album the next day.
