I didn't love the plot of this one. Getting Phillip and Elizabeth into the Reagan shooting just seemed too…big for them. I could believe them screwing over a maid to get a bug into the secretary of defense's home, I guess, but something about these two people who are supposed to be playing completely average, normal…

Yeah, it really is.

Someone on another board I frequent once said that "My Humps" is, simultaneously, by a wide margin the worst song in the history of the world and barely the worst thing the Black Eyed Peas ever produced. I still think that's right.

Shit, really? One of the most loathsome characters in the history of MST3Ked movies?

As a standalone episode, this was really good. As a stage-setter for a series…I can see this going either way.

I love the way this show uses Pete. He's not really a fully-integrated part of the gang, there's no attempt to say, "Here's this guy who's just as crazy as everyone else and a perfect fit for Penny!" And yet the writers have sort of avoided the temptation to turn him into the wary, vaguely disgusted audience…

Not the best collection of movies this week, huh?

I used to think Bill Pullman would be perfect for the lead role if they ever turned the "Tex Murphy" computer games into movies. Which would be silly, since they basically are movies already, but…well, shut up. I was a teenager.

I've often thought that "Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows" would be great entrance music for a baseball closer.

He once sold a woman. For a car.

It's not the most sophisticated humor in the world, but I loved the "stuff everyone stole from Ted" gag. I think I just enjoyed the commitment to it. Yep, there's the cooler. Yep, there are his boots. Yep, there's his sweater. And then his pocket knife. And then his ornaments. And then his Rudolph, which Patrice just…

I recognize that the "Robin tries to seduce Barney" stretch in the middle of the episode was just an excuse to get Cobie Smoulders dressed up in obscenely hot outfits. I get that I should feel offended by the obvious attempt to play to my base instincts. I understand every bit of that.

I struggle sometimes evaluating episodes above and beyond isolated moments within them that I find particularly galling or particularly outstanding. It's not fair to judge an episode by its worst or its best moments; even the best writers craft clumsy lines. I've basically made peace with the idea that a truly…

Does this mean someone else might get a bite at the prequel apple? Because the fall of Anakin Skywalker- that's the story I've always found most interesting. Do that well, please.
