But he hasn't mellowed too much. After all, he freely commented on the need to "download the brown file" and the problems with airplane toilets. And started off with making sure you don't pack any weed.

And one of his essays in "Medium Raw," (Maybe? One of the books) also goes on to tell the story of hearing second hand of a raw food vegan who traveled in Thailand and insisted on all of his hosts cooking according to his needs.

At least AO Scott musters up some good zingers:
"“Anonymous,” a costume spectacle directed by Roland Emmerich,
from a script by John Orloff, is a vulgar prank on the English literary
tradition, a travesty of British history and a brutal insult to the
human imagination. Apart from that, it’s not bad."

I volunteer at a folk/blues/roots music club. Charlie Musselwhite played there a few years ago and not only is he awesome, he's also one of the nicest guys I've worked with. Absolutely charming.

"Lewis" doesn't necessarily have the heft that "Morse" had, but I always found the character of Morse harder to root for. Yes, he's the "good guy" out solving murders, but he was so damned unlikeable in the way he looked down at everyone and everything. Then suddenly some clue derived from a crossword puzzle or…

I don't think Rory officially took the name "Pond," but when the Doctor first shows up after the wedding, he refers to Rory as "Mr. Amy Pond." Rory briefly argues the point, then concedes to the Doctor Amy is the stronger personality.

Considering it looks like the same piano he wheeled into a patient's room in last season's "Half-Wit," my thought was: "Oh, so that's where he got the piano from back then."

Taub is a manipulative bastard too
With Taub, though, we've got a guy who manipulates people to the benefit of the patient — just his scene in which he works over Chase to get the patient the surgery shows that he can use manipulation for good. CTB only seemed to play the game to "win." She never pushed an issue to…

It's all about perspective
Thank you, thank you, thank you, not just for adding "House," but for recognizing that shifting perspectives, tinkering with the setup and playing with points of view and character perspective can actually be a good thing. Of course for House this time around, it's fun to see the documentary…

Please, please, please be less bitter and crazy. The bitter is driving me away from a lot of boards … and no matter how many times the bitter hordes may wish it, the show really isn't called "Chase."
