I wholeheartedly concur, Sarcastical.  It took the "Try to remember what happened last night" concept to places I couldn't possibly have imagined.  Possibly because I never would've thought to name something a "Transfunctioner."  Also: best cameo by an ex-member of Star Trek: TNG.

When it aired, I didn't view it as a corollary to Gore's position, but it did strike me as obviously a story about the environment done in a very heavy-handed fashion.  One of the environmental concerns that was being discussed at the time the episode first aired was the hole in the ozone layer, which is what I…

The important piece of information I got out of this is Brent Spiner likes to smell his own penis.  (How else would he find out it smelled like cotton candy?)

I think you're right, seffina!  First Shawn tag!

Agreed to the millionth degree.  Jersey Shore?  But not a show that's done a Hitchcock homage, an incredible Twin Peaks homage, and presents us with supporting characters who are more than 1-dimensional morons?  Lassiter in this episode (and in many others) is a great example, as the reviewer said.

Exactly.  Which is one of the many reasons why this show is better than a lot of people give it credit for—Shawn's dad is a fascinatingly flawed character.  Ultimately, he did what he thought was best for his son, but in doing so made Shawn pretty miserable. 

Moonlighting was the central influence according to Psych's creator, Steve Franks.  This is why I can tolerate Roday's character; he's channeling Bruce Willis's David Adison character from that show.

Huh.  I *love* the theme song.  Best theme song for a TV show currently being run.

I think he meant to say "Nicole" (as in Kidman) instead of "Alicia."  

Wait, there's an episode of Malcolm in the Middle where Rosanna Arquette teaches Malcolm how to bang!?  

Die Hard: Not a Bad Way to Go

"But evil Spurlock’s film would be crushingly dull—who needs a
documentarian to point out the fact that rule-breaking and cheating are
accepted, unacknowledged truths of professional sports? (It’s like a
documentarian illustrating the fact that eating nothing but fast food

This reminds me—what happened to the reality show about the group of fat women trying to make it in the model industry in L.A.?  It was promoted to death for several weeks and then vanished after, like, 2 episodes. I can't remember what it was called.  Fat and Proud?  No.  Fat Models in L.A.?  No, that's not it.  Fat…

I think Green Lantern had a tough time because it's so sci-fi intensive.  The writers deserve kudos for not shying away from this, but it's a lot of green screened backgrounds and CGI aliens with Ryan Reynolds standing there looking amazed.  There wasn't anything really compelling about the sci-fi universe that was…

Wait, what?

Hey, at least it doesn't use the "Inception BWOMP" sound at every fadeout.

I suspect we're going to have a story arc at some point about this.  The only shortcut I can think of that just might make sense (in an unbelievable sort of way) is if he's deputized.  One of the myriad problems with this is that municipal police departments normally don't possess the ability to deputize citizens;…

Aha!  Well then.  Carry on.

I don't think any hanky-panky went on.  Which is probably what Lynch would refer to it as, since he's that kind of a guy.  Very ethical and decent and everything Jambon already said.  I think a couple of actors who've worked with him have referred to him as behaving "very 50's."  He funnels all his dark, evil stuff…

It seems like an awful lot of effort to go to, also.  Unless the OP just happens to come across a gopher on life support or something.  It'd be much easier to find a gopher in the prime of its life and hit them with that.
