Not only did I hear it in three different stores at the mall this weekend, it was three different stores IN A ROW. There is something just so AWFUL about that song. Don't know what it is….it makes me feel frantic, like I'm being stalked by something reptilian.

I don't think he gets away with anything. Thompson's dressing-down of him — "You made my life ridiculous" (or something along those lines) — is devastating and you can see it hit him right in the gut.

You nailed it. I watched most of season one but stopped when I realized it felt like doing homework.

The songs are fun, catchy pop. I don't give a shit who wrote them or who played the instruments on the albums. By that logic Elvis' music wasn't really "his" either.

There is not enough Saul Tigh in this universe.

Thanks for that!

It was like the horror genre of food: we dare you to watch this and then eat.

He took it off to die. <sob>

I think last season made pretty clear that Julia was in love with him. Not to mention she put up with a lot waiting for him to return, raising a child he dumped on her lap.

My brain agrees with you.

Everyone has a crap movie they watched a million times as a kid that's burned into their brains forever.

I disagree. They've already discovered that his real name is Gary, and he just meekly went along with Jerry because of a clerical error early in his career. So this is actually perfectly consistent with his character.

It's on one of their live albums: the albatross vendor played by Cleese responds in fury to the request for two albatrosses with "I've only got one ya cocksucker!". High school me laughed for days at this.

I saw that too. The audience was like a whole roomful of dead parrots.

No, it's been referenced as Korean before.

That was painful. Especially seeing her held down at the end by the three Pinkertons. This is a woman whose whole life story is one of victimization by men.

I actually don't like the actor in this role. I can't exactly articulate why either. He gives out crazy vibes that are better suited for a Capone-like character than a Federal Agent. They kind of already did that barely-suppressed-insanity with Van Alden.

Had a fifth-grade history teacher who just didn't give a shit, and since this was a tiny, impoverished inner-city Catholic school in the '80s, he may have not even had any sort of training to be a teacher. The whole school year was a just a string of inappropriate movies: Gremlins, Dragnet (which has boobs),

My students (community college history) always bring up "The Patriot" and I always give them my screed about how it's so inaccurate (and also sucks as a film).

Catholic school lifer; I remember watching "Quo Vadis" in religion class.
