Thanks for the link, yossarian. I nearly wasted 24 minutes or work time on that! I'll have to check it out at home with the Floyd going through my good headphones.

Yeah, pretty much. It's got some interesting characters in interesting situations here and there, but not consitently enough to be really good. It's occasionally really funny, but usually just chuckle-worthy. worth following if you're already following it or if you're interested, but don't go clearing stuff of your…

Perhaps she thought he as an actual sex therapist (or at least a good enough gigolo that he could perform that function competently). Of course, Ray's the last person on earth you'd want as a sex therapist.

yeah, sick as it may be to find a cartoon (of a mother figure, no less) hot, Bad News hits it on the nose.

Crazy how quickly the 30's arrive. I remember being 18-19 and being weirded out that I was a man and not a kid anymore. Now I go to parent teacher conferences and call the teacher "Heidi" instead of "Mrs. Myers-Pugh" And kids call me "Bob's Dad" or "Mr. Rockfeller" (well not really, but I'm not about to post real last…

The original terminator was a big deal for me - my mom must have been out of town or something, becuase she surely wouldn't have been OK with me watching at the time (I think I was 10 or so). But my Dad let me stay up and just told me that we were watching a movie called "The Terminator", which sounded cool enough to…

You could descramble them allright, but it was a huge pain in the ass. I remember my dad tinkering with the cable box for about an hour to descramble a Tyson fight once. unfortunately it turned out to be the one he won in 91 seconds - my dad had literally spend 10x mor time fucking with the cable box than watching the…

My girlfreind and I went to this in high school expecting it to be borderline porn. the nudity was alright, but I mostly remember it for being really fucking boring and being frustrated that she wouldn't make out with me more. we ended up breaking up about a week later. Thanks a fucking lot, Egoyan!

I don't know about that - Kevin's proved himself not to be a threat throughout the episode (unless you kill his wife, and the ships sailed on that opportunity). Even the way the second warship attacked the enterprise speaks to this- he took down the shields pretty quickly and then broke off the attack without doing…

I really liked that about the ending. This must be one of the few early episodes I've never seen, becuase I couldn't remember the twist at all. I've seen enough Trek to figure out that there was probably a GLB involved and / or one of the survivors was an illusion, but I didn't see the GLB's genocide coming at all.

I'm glad to see that Worf's head isn't all fucked up anymore!
That always bothered me during Seasons 1 and 2 - that and the red uniform looked weird on him.

I still like all that shit - although having kids around limits the timframe in which I get to enjoy it quite a bit. it's just that when I was 21, that's ALL I liked. well, maybe not all, but most. and thanks in part to stuff like The Sopranos, nowadays I enjoy it on both levels.

David Scatino and the Dog from "Commendatori"
Were what really got me into The Sopranos. up until that point I liked it just fine, as a well-crafted mob show that had the added bonus of tits, profanity, and more violence than you'll get on TV (I was 21 at the time, so what more could I want from a TV show?). But the…

yeah, Tony tries to dissuade him, but he never says no. A flat-out no from Tony is enough to get the point across to all but the stupidest person (of course, David's dumb enough that he might've kept pressing anyway).

@ Kjohnson - I'd guess any of the following could have gone through Willem DaFoe's mind:

OK, I'll take being insulted over another huge Carter/Anti-Carter thread like the one that was on the VSE Barney Miller write up.

Homer Vs. the City of New York aired in syndication on the sunday after 9/11 on one of the local channels (literally the first or second day when non-news broadcasts returned), and my wife and I called the station to complain. In retrospect, I'm not sure why, as the episode was already airing, and I'm generally not…

I disagree that Ronnie is a sympathetic character.
He doesn't really love Jessica so much as he covets her - which he's evidently done since the 10th grade. now that he's won her, he's not sure what to do now. He realizes that their marriage is largely superficial, so he's trying to tie her down with a kid. That's…

Fuck, lt's get into a whole debate about the "malaise" speech while we're at it. That'll really enrich the discussion here.

I like "The Crepe of Wrath" (especially the "we meet again, black sparrow" line), but I dislike the ending - the part where bart gets all frustrated and starts talking to himself and suddenly starts speaking in french. they pull the same damn stun in "Bart Gets an F", "Bart the Genius", Bart Vs. Thanksgiving, and…
