Funny, but the title of "The Name of the Rose" was specifically chosen by Eco because it had so many potential meanings that it ultimately had none.
But I'm sure Dan Brown thinks his title is actually stirring and profound.

Hey, remember Seabury Quinn? No?

Eco's book also had a clever premise that turned the whole 'conspiracy' concept on its head.

She Had To Leave
NCIS: Los Angeles.

I guess no one can be as cool as an unregistered troll on the AVClub.

No, that's Titus Crow and is closer to the movie version of LXG than anything else.

Cold and efficient: On the contrary, Holmes has remarked that he sometimes enjoys putting on a

Doyle wrote a Holmes-Moriarty 'prequel' well after 'The Final Problem'.

How Hard Was It To Screw This Up?

Late Again, AVClub
I mean - come on! "The Sign of Four" came out, like, over a century ago!

Forever Knight?

I'm sure ABC executives are kicking themselves for not cancelling "Lost" right away. Why, we could've been watching the 5th season of "Full House: The Next Generation"!

More like a double-helping of doesn't matter. ZING!

Don't forget Bill Paxton!

Why Not?
As long as they realize that ABC will cancel them after a few episodes.

Uh… yeah, no. That's all anyone listened to in my middle school. It was mandatory to like that shit and no one had even heard of "The Clash" or "Elvis Costello"… or even "REM" for that matter.

Leonard, them's fightin' words over MST3K.
