This review really surprised me.  Maybe because I've been watching the episodes haphazardly on Netflix without any rhyme or reason as to the order. As a result, good episodes mix with "meh" episodes and I don't have any sense of the show's "rise" or "decline."  Be that as it may, as lenses go, this episode cracked me…

I enjoyed recalling the sound of Rainier Wolfcastle saying "McBain: Let's Get Silly" in my head better than any episode of Simpsons I can remember watching the past few years.

My prediction — Hank finds out it's Walt, has a moral crisis (particularly upon realizing that Walt was funding his recovery and return from despair), and gives Walt a head's up and two hour warning to move it before he alerts the DEA to arrest him.  There's a bit of Walt on the run, Hank has to decide how to play the…

So no love for Tekwar?  Which, it only occurs to me just now, is the natural melding of the two (in name at least, not in terms of plot or characters).

I was hoping this was a CAN cover band.

"Zombies are the new vampires."  Am I the only one who thought that line tipped off the new supernatural threat to be introduced next year?  You could bring back a LOT of offed characters that way and in a manner thankfully different than more ghosts or flashbacks (or pretending like they didn't just have half their…

The "WTF?" for me is that from "Devil's Hands" to "Bender's Big Score", there's a clear implication that Fry and Leela finally connected, and then the writers seemed to say, "Eh, whatever. Let's just forget that happened."  I mean, it would've made a lot more sense that Fry would've become so despondent that he'd…

The premsie of this episode seems like it would've made a much better feature-length storyline than "Bender's Game" (which felt to me like fan-fiction at best, but more like one of the cheap C-grade comics they put out for Futurama/Simpsons).  In fact, the previous episode about Fry's dormant cold virus threatening…

It may be time to stop begrudging Lucas and instead recognize that the story is much bigger than him, in the same fashion that Romeo and Juliet or Hamelt are ultimately bigger than Shakespeare, and start calling for a reboot/reimagining.  Sure, there are copyright issues aplenty, but I'm all for building the momentum…

I'll go to bat for Zooropa - the Kid A to Achtung Baby's OK Computer.  It's not always my first pick of albums to fire up on my iPod (neither is U2's library as a whole), but it still sounds expansive, creative and risky whenever I do.  I'll take the "WTF?" sound experience of Zooropa over the competence of the rest…

Woah, woah, St. Louis is a "soda" city.  (Also, I've been convinced for some time that Springfield is based on St. Louis - if not in whole, at least in part.)

"We'll see who makes more honey.  BzzzzzzzzZZZzzzzzz."
