Cinematic heaven, right there.  I liked IE after The Wire (because I'm a sentient human), but after Luther I was completely sold.

Poor Cerie, granted she's a minor character, but this episode showed the total absence of character progression in however many seasons.  Plus she's supposed to be this super hot girl who married a rich guy, it doesn't really compute that she'd still be around.

I absolutely loved this book when I was a kid.  The Curse of the Blue Figurine was great too; the others by John Bellairs were inferior.  He wrote so enthusiastically about sweets, that really resonated with me.  Also being picked on, natch.

That's how a show wins a small but passionately devoted audience.

I'm a huge Tina Fey fan, but she definitely is not afraid to go to the same well more than once.  Her book has a whole section about the women-aren't-funny theme; this episode felt like a dramatization or something.
