Hey, wasn't there also a Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode called "Homecoming"? And wasn't that show vampire-related? This show's a total ripoff!

I believe you mean there are surprises of the "hot and brown" variety.

Nah. But I like to think he's a Community fan and when he saw this episode he wept at the sudden rush of terrible memories.

The joke wasn't in Whedon's script. It was one of the many silly things From The Mind Of Jean-Pierre Jeunet that are  completely out of place in the Alien canon but that Jeunet sounds very proud of in the audio commentary.

A breath recognition security system! Just like in Alien Resurrection!

So if Randy hadn't shown up, how exactly would Shelly have made do with the whole retainer thing?

I'm suddenly finding myself with a deluge of Blu-rays I feel like I have to buy and a relative surfeit of money. If there's one thing to tempt me to forego the limited edition of the Jurassic Park trilogy it's that I could spend the money on this.

Wait, is Cory's last name Barker or Durant?

Gamera 1999: The Absolute Guardian of the Universe!

Oh, now let's not pretend gritty, depressing giant robot stories are anything new or subversive.

The ruling flies in the face of all existing precedent. Hustler Magazine v. Falwell, and obviously Campbell v. Acuff-Rose… so this must have been decided in a British court. The alternative is unthinkably appalling.

How could tonight's Community suck if tonight's Whitney is the only episode of television ever produced?
