Well said, Dog.  I was sooo pissed when they canceled Dead Like Me.

…but she does bring new meaning to the phrase, "wax off."

Is it alright if I complain about the fact that Emma Stone would make a perfect Mary Jane Watson and Shailene Woodley would make a decent Gwen Stacey?  Why did they cast these women backwards?

My parents read me Ferdinand the Bull on a regular basis when I was a child.  My Dad recently admitted they read it so much because they wanted to make sure I grew up a pacifist.  (It's about a bull that refuses to fight a bullfighter because he prefers smelling flowers.)

Oh man, that thing was terrible.  Lifetime FTL.

I saw 'em in Madison, Wisconsin.  Can't remember what the product was though.

How about a story about a snarky, quirky scriptwriter called Ernest to Blog?

Guess I'll add to the overwhelming sentiment that this episode deserves an A.  The review does, too—the reference to the Creepy Crawlers Thingmaker (from Mattel!) pushed it over the edge.  Nicely done, Phillip!

Totally agree.  I was quite surprised to find myself actually laughing out loud at that.  It was hilarious how sudden Ryan went from mild-mannered interviewer to super-aggressive-interrogator when he realized the witness was "giving up" Castle and Beckett.  One of the best scenes of the season.

Also liked for "falling-down-stairs-holding-a-stack-of-pies" (am I the only person who remembers when that was a staple scene on Sesame Street?), and I wholeheartedly agree that it's a solid film.  I hope you're right that time will be kinder.

I hear ya, gogo.  I couldn't 'just relax' about something that happened in the last Doctor Who episode, even though it's a silly time travel thing, so I'm being ludicrously hypocritical.  It's just that I'm surprised Todd even needs to come up with an explanation like "This show's reality diverges from ours at 2004!"…
