I'm assuming it's not just the colloidal silver that's responsible for the healing factor, or else the doctor would have been able to extract it from the blood.

Were these episodes aired out of production order? Not that it really matters, but the line about Hauser being the only one who shoots the 63s comes right after the Ames Bros episode in which Rebecca killed two 63s herself, shooting one (albeit in a firefight, and probably a lucky shot) and awesomely dropping a…

1963 or 1967? If it's a 1963 script the guy wrote it 3 years before the show premiered.

Does this put a cap on the El Barto gag now that everyone in town should know who it really is? (Not that it was really hard to figure out, but we are talking about Springfield here).

I can accept them not telling the contestants they could use Ivanka beforehand because it's kind of a test of resourcefulness (just in realizing she exists) and balls (thinking to ask for her help). We have kind of seen this kind of thing before, when the teams meet with the guest businesspeople for a given week and…

I would judge it more on the basis of, "if these concepts were tweaked by actual professionals in this field, which one would work better," and my hunch is that would be the men's team. That's based on Ivanka liking the twins and the signage, which relates more to the conceptual aspect of it.

Those are not the only two. And I wasn't just talking about making money. I was talking about making money through means that have nothing to do with the nature of the task. It's like if both teams executed the task well and it only comes down to one guy on one team having richer friends, and so the boardroom just…

Suddenly Penn seems utterly prophetic after the previous week when he said George and Lou were pretty much the most worthless people on the team going forward (not in so many words, of course). George is gone the very next task, and named Lou as useless in the effort to save himself.

Generally, there are two types of challenges on Celebrity Apprentice that kind of irk me: the fund-raising challenges where efficient execution of the task becomes irrelevant in the face of a naked money grab from outsiders, and tasks like this that have a clear gender bias in a show that features men vs women.

An obvious gag but still funny: during the psychic sketch with the award for top psychic, and Bill Hader jumping onto the stage as soon as his name is announced among the nominees and before they say he won. And then some of the reactions to the people who were going to die was pretty funny.

I'm pretty sure it was. Actually I didn't realize Ariel wasn't there until they did the seashell bit

"I don´t have dogmas because I am a scientist,"

"Did I just heard"

To me that should make Spike the nobler character and provides a great contrast to Angel. Spike was a force of evil who chose the path of redemption. Angel had his soul forced back upon him and found himself lost without his capacity for evil.

It's more like:

That's the thing about artistic interpretation, is that sometimes a hidden meaning can be gleaned in ways the artist maybe didn't intend or wishes to admit to. Like how the whole Jasmine arc could be interpreted as a warning against certain types of politicians, some of whom in real life the creators of the episodes…

If you actually think about the continuity of these episodes, the timeline kind of doesn't make much sense. Season 7 of Buffy and Season 4 of Angel took place over a very contracted time, and if you use benchmarks established within the episodes (Buffy's mention of Christmas, Angel showing up with the amulet, etc),…

"Spike’s surprise appearance in the premiere would’ve been more
surprising if James Marsters hadn’t been in the opening credits, and on
the cover of the DVD box."

Yes, but that that wasn't made clear in the preview. When the episodes were first airing and that preview came on, it made me think, "Did Bajor join the Federation?" And then the next week, the answer was no.

Bajor was about to join the Federation in the fifth season but backed out when Sisko had a vision from the prophets telling him that if they did they would be destroyed by the Dominion. Since he was the emissary, they took his pronouncement seriously and didn't join. But I would think that would mean Bajor's…
