He had the perfect last line.

I can't believe I'm going in depth in re: a BBT episode gag, but think of it in semiotic terms. Wil's concern was with trolling the Star Wars audience by going as a Star Trek character. Were he to go in a TNG uniform, he would simply have been some nerd in a TNG suit. However, Spock is arguably the most recognizable…

I shuddered when I saw the synopsis, thinking of all the ways they could overplay it or make it sleazy, exploitative and crude. But, for an episode about sex between two extremely awkward and damaged people, it was handled as delicately and tastefully as possible, I think.

Stuart's wretchedness never fails to make me laugh.

He wasn't just wearing a TOS uniform; he was wearing Spock ears. He was going as a *character*, not just some nerd dressed in a TOS uniform.

There's actually a tumblr account that tracks this sort of thing.

It's not too late for NBC to resurrect Hannibal, and do a crossover, the same way they overlap Chicago Fire and SVU. "On a very special episode of Heaven Changes Everything, Francis Dolarhyde pays the Burpo family a visit."

As a WWII history-type person, I have to say that I can't think of a more underrated WWII movie than Ike: Countdown to D-Day. Selleck *is* Eisenhower. Not in appearance, but in bearing and mannerism. The movie is not about battle, but about the weight of duty and the loneliness of command. Highest recommendation.

You're a big fan of Nathan Rabin? His *biggest* fan? How does one become the biggest fan of a nebbishy internet critic? Did every other cultural figure in the world suddenly die? And being obsessed over his twitter…as an atheist, it pains me to say this, but maybe you need to find a religion to focus your devotion on.

Yeah, she was really cute in Broken Arrow. I watched it a dozen times as a teen merely because she was in it. That, and the scene where Travolta kills Bob Gunton with the flashlight; that always made me laugh.

I can't see how this would be better than Pirates of Silicon Valley. IRL, if someone mentions Jobs in any context, I immediately yell: "I got there first! I GOT THE LOOT, STEVE!" References to 16-year-old television movies are lost on most people, however.

"I gave Pulp Fiction five bags of popcorn and a little ball gag."

I remember a issue of a Marvel humor mag where the heroes try to wrangle up heroes to join their super-team, the Great Lakes Avengers. There's a couple of pages of genuine superheroes—Hercules, Nightcrawler, etc.—refusing to join, then it goes to the bottom of the barrel, until, near the end, the guy from Marville…

My great-grandfather rode the rails as a hobo for a good amount of time in the thirties.

I know she was dead. My point was less about her survival, and more about how the show got all weird and metaphysical for an episode, playing with audience perceptions. Between that, and Hannibal's spacetime scribblings, there's been a theme in this season of multiple possibilities.

I dunno. I think "It's Raining Men" would have been just as effective.

She's a gorgeous cockroach. She's the show's Dorian Gray portrait.

I eagerly await the "Jim Ross commentary on the Hannibal fight scene" youtube edit.

He's a champ. All Alana needs to do is tape a "HANG IN THERE" kitten poster to his oxygen chamber, and he'll cheer up.
