I'm not a scientist. But I AM in the Teenage FBI. So there's that.

I think it's a reference to how slow the original game was to load the next screen, but who knows?

Yeah, in fact there were a series of popular plays about Sherlock Holmes that ACD signed off on, written by an American actor/playwright named William Gillette. When Gillette asked if he could marry Holmes off at the end of one of them, Conan Doyle's answer was something like "Marry him, kill him, I don't care." So

Hey
I don't want to mess with no reefer addicts.

Our Town is lame - shell out for some props people!

Don't you mean "television stars?" After all, 'TV' is a nickname, and nicknames are for friends, and television is clearly no friend of yours.

"Today's celebrity guest judge is someone you might know. Please welcome Walter White."

They made a special point of having Boyd tell Raylan that Johnny was gutshot but dying. I have to think they wouldn't have bothered with that if they didn't want to at least reserve the right to keep him around next season.

Does The Shield get a lot better than its first couple of episodes? Because I saw the pilot and the next episode after that, and I felt like I could take or leave the show.

Bodie says something about "if I make it across," like he just can't think of

Clearly you are not aware of how much is at steak here.

Santa with Muscles
While I understand that you couldn't have every movie on this list be a Hulk Hogan vehicle. I really have to protest the omission of Santa With Muscles. Mostly because it gives me an opportunity to tell people about Santa With Muscles:

He's evil, he gets hit on the head,

So he's a nut.

Episode 25

I think it's a mostly great episode, but the set-up rang a little false for me. It ignores the fact that Xander, for all his flaws, has been incredibly brave since the beginning of the series. And he never gets pushed out of the action or sent to get doughnuts, so why is that suddenly happening? It's a minor quibble,
