The TWOP recaps by Jacob are pretentious, self-indulgent twaddle written by a dude in love with the sound of his own voice and, I'm pretty sure, 'shrooms. Avoid them at all costs.

Celia looks like if Martha Plimpton was the Hulk.

I had a Burgerville chocolate monkey smoothie last night while I was watching Idol! It was super yummy, but hard to drink through a straw because of all the banana chunks.

"Mr. Charlie the rabbit"
It was King Charlie, dude. His Fluffy Majesty to you.

That seemed almost cruel of Sarah. I don't suppose she owns any full-length flannel nighties, but still. I wouldn't have gotten much sleep, either.

I like bleak, too—I'm fully expecting all manner of horror to be unleashed in the Battlestar Galactica finale—it just didn't feel right for that particular show, IMO. But your point is well taken.

If Ted were talking like he was in the Jersey mob, he would have ordered "moot-zuh-rell", not "mott-zuh-rell". A fine but important distinction.

Yvonne Strahovski's American accent
It's usually impeccable, but she inserted an epenthetic /r/ in her question to the Italian dude at the party: "How are Isabeller and the children?"

@wookiee: I hated the Quantum Leap finale. It raised more questions than it answered, and "Dr. Sam Beckett never returned home" was an unnecessarily bleak ending to a mostly feel-good show. I was happy for Al and Beth, though.

Chuck suggesting that Cole might "wing back to London and jam with the Stones" was yet another Fast Times at Ridgemont High reference.

Nixon
For some reason that Nixon sketch has stuck with me over the years. To this day I can't hear the word "memoirs" without immediately hearing Aykroyd-as-Nixon in my head, talking as he types: "Maim-wahrs…by Richard Nixon. Nineteen dollars…and ninety-five cents."

I'm always late with the commenting
And people have already said all the stuff I would have said. Like how cool it was that they managed to give (nearly) all of the main characters great stuff to do this ep. And how Yvonne totally killed that scene where Sarah thought Chuck exploded. I actually teared up—not something…

True story
I was a teen when this show premiered. A friend's family had a cabin by a lake in the middle of the woods in upstate New York, and one weekend when the parents were away a bunch of us went there to party. We all got massively stoned and then sat down to watch some tube, as you do. Well, "Trick or Treat"…

They're supposed to be building a new intersect computer to replace the one that Bryce Larkin blew up, into which they will then download all of the data currently in Chuck's brain. Presumably this is a long and complex project.

Eh, maybe. Nobody's face melted off.

I hate Whedon with the white-hot intensity of a thousand suns because he killed Tara; therefore my judgment is, you might say, clouded. But I'm inclined to agree with anonasaurus—the basic premise of this show is gross.

I think I know that coffee short you're talking about, Captain—it was a film noir parody called "Java Junkie".

Artists That SNL Turned Me On To
Just a few off the top of my head, all from the early days: Talking Heads, the Specials, Peter Tosh, the Chieftains.

The Clash are the only answer that matters.

I agree with mbs. Let's face it, Three's Company worked pretty much every possible angle on the "one person sees another person do something and completely misconstrues the situation" deal, yet TV writers keep going back to the well. I'm glad they didn't drag it out.
