Making a metric assload of endorsement money.

My guess is they did it just because the Extremis baddie in the comics breathed fire. Plus it shows how Killian was an Extremis user with more control than the human bombs.

Ray Bradbury's "Something Wicked This Way Comes". Every time I read it, I find some new turn of phrase or scene that enchants me.

I had an advertisement for Texas which, I am assured, is a whole other country.

He's going to flunk out of Birdhouse Building 101, which is the only class he takes and hasn't changed since at least 1983.

I was thinking maybe he's a (or the) genie. Dissolving in smoke, granting wishes, etc.

It's not total Groundhog Day. Note the newspaper in the diner scene that mentions Reagan, and the variations of everyone doing the same thing. As Lux points out, they do have people bring goods into the town… though how they find the place that isn't on a map is questionable.

Why is it that I've felt the exact opposite about Season 3 community episodes as a majority of people?

I get that, Zack_Handlen. It's not the absolute worst offender, just the first that came to mind.

Agree x1000. Early TNG is rife with Roddenberrist(?) idealism, and it makes some of those episodes seem really dated and ham-fisted. Remember the TNG episode (the name escapes me) where Riker dates the genderless alien, and it "comes out" as being gendered? It feels like a 2x4 looking back on it.

"How disappointing."

Rogue Weyoun begging Odo the Founder God to save him. DS9 is the only Star Trek to take religion as a psycho-social concept seriously, and their relationships here is an illustration of that at its finest.

Brick's deadpan delivery of "New hole" totally sold it for me. The chemistry those kids have really had a chance to shine in this episode.

On a tenuously related note, I once stayed in the hotel where "Weekend at Bernie's 2" was filmed. It's in St. Thomas. I only recognized it years later when the movie came on.

It totally sapped the engagement episode of its power. "Wow, Barney gave up the playbook for good!… But not really."

The other dwarf must be safely locked away in the hospital under sedation as he screams something about fairy dust being real.

But clearly, the most logical and medically sound solution to dealing with amnesia and truth-realizing is constant heavy sedation.

When Parks did it, the style still felt relatively new to the point where I initially thought it was a spinoff of some sort. But like The Office, it felt increasingly just a film device and not a plot device. I think other shows might use the same framing, but without the "through the 4th wall" approach that this last…

The closest thing we got was in Season 2 when Isabel left Crawley House, leaving Molesley and Mrs. Bird just kind of hanging out. That was some of my favorite character interactions in the series.

The one that went over the line seems to have taken his axe back up. Peer pressure?
