The one thing I can thank Voyager for is priming me for the realization, after a few months of Enterprise, that even though I'm a geek and like science fiction and whatnot, I have no obligation to watch bad Star Trek.  "I don't have to watch STAR TREK.  I don't HAVE to watch Star Trek!  I'm freeeeeee!"

"Why 's it always got to be my ass? There's a…there's a person in this ass."

I'm a total Mieville fanboy—will snatch up any new novel of his, no questions asked—but I had to drop the comic after reading issues 2-4 (I missed #1) because it was just too mystifying.

I know a small amount of Chinese.  There was an episode of Frisky Dingo where an elderly Chinese man thought Killface was coming on to him, and told Xander Crews "告诉他我在中国有太太" ("Tell him I have a wife in China") and I understood the ENTIRE SENTENCE.  I thought I was going to die of glee.

I saw it on late-night TV a while ago, and it inspired me to read the first several Oz books, since the film made it seem that Oz might have had a scary darker side.  It does not.

Also, you should win things by watching!

"It's time to ESTABLISH SOME BOUNDARIES!"

I haven't watched DS9 since it originally aired, so most things are pretty fuzzy, but I vividly remembered an awesome space battle that went on for way longer than usual.  I guess this was it!  I didn't remember that it happened in the Mirror Universe, though.

This is the only show that it takes me longer to watch with a Tivo than without, because I'm constantly backing up to bask in all of the terrific deliveries.

Interesting topic for a Laugh Track Theory thesis: Why, when someone says "OK" six times into a phone, the third, fifth, and sixth times are funny, and the others aren't.

Don't you know the Dewey Decimal System?

Was that an actual person in a fat suit, though?  From the way she glided past so quickly and smoothly, I immediately took it for a CGI effect.

"You GOTTA stroke his schlong or at LEAST bite his nuts!"

If someone says "The sun sucks," just say "Yeah, fuck the sun, I fuckin' hate it too, long live the fuckin' Beast!"

"Lemongrab, with your lemony, juicy…"
"Essence!"
"…Yeah."

The three issues I bought were #'s 2-4, so I missed the setup.  What I have is a story about a traveling band.  Marceline is the lead singer, Princess Bubblegum is the manager, and all of the other members are new characters I found uninteresting.  As I recall, fantastic story elements are mimimal and incidental; it

And events happened in real time.

I didn't give the comic a try and realize it was fantastic until issue 7 or so.  Alas, my local comic shop had no back issues in stock.  But when I went back to my hometown over the holidays and checked out the comic shop there, I found every issue I had missed.  I almost shouted for joy!

That movie is memorable for me because, during a pre-battle scene where Jovovich spots a priest and yells at him to "Bless them!  Bless these men!" (meaning her troops), my D&D-playing friend and I looked at each other and simultaneously exclaimed "So they'll get +1 to hit!"

The situation you describe is the reason I recently employed my nerdlinger abilities to whip up some code that A) slurps all of the available comments onto a single page, and B) allows me to scan through the comments in decreasing order of number of likes.
