So where's the argument?  As you point out, it says right there at the conclusion of Robin's first appearance that he's the "Robin Hood of today", and his name was often rendered in faux medieval script. Case closed.

Rikki Tikki is great.  You can get it on DVD with some other Kipling stuff.

The grumpy Santa isn't as much of a departure as he might seem.  Check out some late 19th century German Christmas cards showing him tying naughty little boys to trees for a lashing or stuffing them into sacks, all while his sidekick Svart Peter capers in sadistic glee (you'll have to find them yourself.  I'm too lazy

Thanks for the clarification, Trek.  That's the detail I'd forgotten

I know and I don't have problem with the need to breath (and let me preface my next comment by saying that I haven't seen this episode since it originally aired, so maybe there was some rationale for this that I'm forgetting), but why couldn't he just use his heat vision to cut through everyone's shackles or even just

Come on, Sean, get your theology right.  Immaculate conception refers to the Virgin Mary's conception, not Jesus's.  It means one is conceived without the stain of original sin.  It doesn't mean one is supernaturally conceived without sex.

I'm thinking it's the actress who plays Kalinda on The Good Wife (Archie something or other).  The Kalinda character is only 26 or 27, but the actress is 40-ish.

So Robuttnik is actually Oedipus?

Doc, your phrasing cracked me up:  "they edited out THE penis breath…,"  like it's some sort of smell-o-vision type gimmick that wafts from the tv whenever you play the dvd.
