Your opening paragraph put this McSweeney's article back in my mind: http://www.mcsweeneys.net/a…

Legs?

She hasn't gotten a degree though.

I would definitely recommend seeing the movie first, as the songs are a very big part of it. The scene with "Please Mr. Kennedy" will also lose a lot of its humor if you know the song already, I imagine.

Who the hell plays mp3's in VLC? This guy is clearly a psychopath.

How do you "attempt" to play an MP3-file?

For the sake of my sanity, I'm just going to assume Lithgow wasn't up for another season because if they had that option but just rejected it…

d) That she wouldn't mention this fact on the phone. "It'll be way less awful if he just walks in and sees my boobs hanging out"

Yeah, that was really weird. After her awkward hesitation when Masuka asked for her workplace, I assumed it was a strip club or something and cringed; but then I was relieved after she asked him to come over.

If you take out the central storyline the season decreases in quality? Well, I never…

Watched the whole thing and enjoyed it quite a bit, for the anachronisms ("You can send a fax through a computer?", "You can use more than 8 characters to name your file!" etc.) and the sheer weirdness.

Me too! They were so obviously right for eachother, faith gave them much more hints than it did the supposedly star-written Ross & Rachel pairing.

I'm not sure they intented it to be annoying. Michael Stipe has mentioned in interviews that things like "Sugar Sugar", "Video Killed the Radio Star" and even, God help us all, "Hey Mickey" are among his all time favourite songs. SHP is just that side coming out to play, I reckon.

It was specifically written that way because of the threat of cancellation. I think it's a bit of dick move to use that now as a way to justify canning it.

As someone with 11 fingers, I am offended. (The 11th finger is not fully developed though, maybe I'm just a little demonic)

"Keep Passing the Open Windows" has terrible lyrics indeed, but I like the chorus.

Queen's "Don't Try Suicide" is absolutely great and doesn't make me feel suicidal at all. "Keep on Passing the Open Windows" is also good.

Radio Song is very beautiful. Great melody. The rap-bit is very '90s but also very short.

Especially since it's such an obvious metaphor. Everyone is worrying silently, being all sad with their thoughts and stuff, until they get out of their cars/come out of their isolation ("You're not alone" etc.) and take some comfort from that (you know, like the lyrics literally say).

The lyrics are obviously intentionally silly, just look at the goddamn video. The guitar riff is actually really pretty though, it baffles me that so many people fail to appreciate that.
