I am in fact no fan of Super Bowl halftime shows or Prince, though I may have gone too far in saying he was "at least as awful" as the embarrassingly bad Who "performance" yesterday.

Prince was at least as awful a few Superbowls ago

Crap — forgot another thing — Cindy and those kids were with the Other Others in the Temple! Why? Were they always there, instead of living in the old Dharma settlements?

I hadn't watched in so long I'm left with huge questions about the Others, Dharma, the Hostiles, and the Other Hostile Others
So Season One sets up the idea that there are others, Season Two starts making you think the Others=Dharma, Season Three revealed that the Others were also the Hostiles, who took the place of…

If that were the case, why was that huge (open!) pit of dead Dharma corpses still there?

The most astoundingly revealing character moment in that episode was that Barney was completely willing to accept the lottery winnings for Homer, and then to turn them over entirely to him.

Did anyone else notice that all the Nazis in that game died with the Wilhelm Scream?

Spielberg's WoW wasn't just grim, it was harrowing, coming three summers after 9/11, especially since I was a Dad with young kids at the time.

I really like the podcast "framework", made up of ambient field recording compositions…

I thought War of the Worlds was fantastic, but for that improbable ending (not the ending from the source material, the pair of astoundingly unlikely interpersonal resolutions). The only thing I'd cut, other than that near-final scene, would be the goofy, almost magical non-explanation of the aliens "beaming down" in…

Just wanted to thank you for proselytizing for Friday Night Lights
Your mention of the series in the Best of the Decade roundup motivated me to seek it out despite what I thought was an awful premise — high school jocks + Texas I would have expected to add up to an excruciating experience. I couldn't have been more…

Don't they have to make a second Ghostbusters, first?
Can you just skip right to 3, since it's been two decades or so?

I had a few of those Star Trek photonovels, including "Piece of the Action" and the one with the Horta monster…

No one's going to read this or care, but
Owl City's been around for awhile (two albums and an EP), and his success seems to have been built on word of mouth through social networking sites. My fourteen year old daughter has been listening to the guy's basement-recorded music for a couple of years now, though she's all…

Painfully, painfully so

Interesting; I sort of suspected that. Since McFarlane produces the series and got it on the air, doesn't he deserve some credit at least?

Can't decide which is worse, the idea of a Let the Right One In remake or this one.

Hate to be That Guy
As a fortysomething Dad, I got really skeeved out by the newest Family Guy and American Dad, and a little pissed at Fox. I was glad I got the kids to bed after the Simpsons, but all their friends seem to watch those shows and I'm sure they'll see those episodes at other kids' houses soon enough…

Anyone else notice that both Family Guy and American Dad had a Lawrence of Arabia reference?

Hamburglar of the Apocalypse, I actually caught that Hank Azaria gag, too, and was amazed that the real Mitch Albom was the rare guest star whose ass the Simpsons didn't kiss — they actually got in a good poke at him when he was following Ralph, writing down his pithy observations.
