You know that's different, right?

Care to explain? I can't hear any similarity in the spoken melody. Are you talking about the riff? There's only similarity there is that it starts low, and then leaps up to a high note and quickly falls to a lower note. The intervals and rhythms are totally different, so that's way too nebulous to claim a ripoff.

A couple of these (which happen to be the ones that didn't go to court…) are pretty dumb. The last one, for instance. The only thing in common is the chord progression, and it's four chords long. Oasis almost certainly weren't the first to use it.

I think the main problem with the episode wasn't that it was amount teenage melodrama; rather, it was just bad. Plenty of the "romance episodes" have been really great ("All Gummed Up Inside" starts playing in my head at this point), from both a story and an emotional perspective. But in this episode, the story and

God, I loved that deadpan delivery.

Judging by this comments section, it looks like I'm not alone in being pretty depressed by this episode. Come on, I know "art is subjective" and all that, but an "A" grade is totally off-kilter. I'll put it down to Oliver's habit of dishing out "A"s to any episode that gives him an excuse to write another overblown

Thank God for that. I was worried I had suddenly become dead inside and that the show wouldn't ever charm me again. Glad to hear it was a problem with this episode and not me. I was actually bored by this one. That's never happened before. It's hard to pin down why but it just felt really… pointless for some reason.

Your comment and the one it was replying to.

Yeah I agree with most others here who are a bit bemused by the A grade. C+ is my feeling. The story and writing was pretty simple. The characters were sweet, but it was the kind of episode that lives or dies by its humour, and it just wasn't very funny… Finn and Jake's mutual alibi high five and the Banana Guards'

But Jesse's explanation was completely believable…

What on Earth does "Aristotelian unity of time and space" mean?

Amazing episode. The only niggle was Jesse and Walter chilling around at the end when Hank had just called for backup, so that they could have their wistful moment with the RV. A bit of tension there for the writers between consistency of tone and imagery, which should probably been resolved in the other direction.

Oh, despite being a woman?

…it's past the goal. Lol.

It's more like either, rather than neither, depending on BMO's mood. In any case she always refers to herself as a boy or girl, and so do all of the characters.

Kickstarters usually undergo exponential growth during the final stages. If this one kept going at a linear rate it'd pass the mark by a long way; don't worry about it.

Nobody ever calls her "it". The pronoun changes fluidly with context… "her" seemed more appropriate here.

You just attempt to read them as the latin characters they look a bit like.

Scratch that, two real laughs. I just realised how you translate Demon Runes.

I get some serious gay vibes from that guy. And I know I'm not the only one who suspects the artist who designed him basically just drew a big penis with a face on it.
