I got a strong Ma Patrelli vibe from the mother last night. Like she was going to rebuild Peter's career if it was the last thing she did.

The writers might be ex-attorneys, but they apparently know Jack shit about conflicts of interest. A typical episode involves so many conflicts of interest that Alicia's firm shouldn't be able to practice in the state of Illinois. Like last night, the client who wanted to go into witness protection had evidence that…

I'm all for this asshat having his degree rescinded. Or at the very least a notice stamped on his transcript stating that he committed plagiarism.

Even if Walt didn't break anything (believable), he fell directly onto the broken glass from the light. That should have cause at least one pretty bad wound.

My wife was distracted during the first couple of minutes of the episode, so asked "what's going on so far?" I said something like, "Walt is trying to kill a fly," and then joked that Walt would spend the entire episode hunting down that damn fly. Which he did.

While I was exposed to MST3K pretty early (first season on Comedy Channel) and loved it from pretty much the beginning, I had crazy bad MST3K karma. We moved literally a few miles away during the show's third season or so, but we were suddenly in a different cable company's area and they didn't carry Comedy Central. …

"Turned on by fire" reminds me of the Screamapillar (or whatever it was) from the Simpsons, which, along with a long string of things that contributed to its endangered status, was "sexually attracted to fire."

I read the use of Chris Kattan as adding to the insult to Ted - not only was his character over the top evil, he was played by the incompetent Chris Kattan.

The cheerleaders at my high school would wear their uniforms on game days, but not every day. If they had worn them every day or on a non-game day, it would have been really weird. It only worked because all of them were doing it.

@ Kid Dada - one of the greatest things about the proliferation of media is that the networks have now constrained their sporting events to pre-arranged times. Sure, your Monday night show might not air during football season, but you aren't going to have shows randomly preempted by basketball games for half the year…

This is where I throw out the obligatory "Man, I wish they had cast Chiwetel Ejiofor…"

Mentioned this a few places above, but the move to Saturday night also killed the water cooler element. You talk about shows the next day, not a few days later. If suddenly no one else is talking about the show in the same way and it's a bitch to watch (you have to either set your VCR, which was not ever easy with…

I was also about 12 at the time and was really freaked the fuck out by the Leland thing. It (along with the crappy Saturday night air time) led me to stop watching for a while. Though, in all honesty, I had already missed most of the second season because I was usually doing something else on Saturday nights. Yeah,…

Totally agree. When I walked out of Spider-Man, I was convinced that you couldn't have a truly great movie where the hero and villain both spent half the movie wearing full face masks and you couldn't see their facial expressions, etc. After seeing V, I realized that it was possible to do it well, you just had to…

Waltz would have been the shit. Weaving is pretty awesome (and is still the only guy I've ever seen able to pull off acting behind a full face mask), but Waltz just has so much charisma.

I want to say 26 was the old standard for a long time, then it dropped to 24, and now they're pushing them down into the 18-20 range. So there has been a serious drop, even since just the 70s. (And that's not even getting into the issue of decreasing show times - like 22 minutes now instead of about 25 in the 70s -…

Yeah, wasn't Don single when he moved to New York? So he had to have moved those twin beds into this apartment and put them up in his bedroom all next to each other like that. I can understand maybe not getting a new bed for a while and keeping the extra for guests, but putting them both in the same room like you're…

@Shiv - Perry's problem is that he was probably inebriated (or high on something) every time he went in front of the camera. So he had to exaggerate to what he thought a stereotypical drunk or whatever would look like.

yeah, but there's a huge freaking amount of room between Dr. Horrible's budget (what, like a million?) and $40 million. You could have done it for like $10 million and it would have looked awesome. Though it probably would have lost something, in the same way the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie was totally…

10 to 1 a Zoolander sequel would make like $20 on opening weekend. There's not that much of an audience for it unless the reviews are simply amazing and it gets great buzz/word of mouth. The original just wasn't that well known/well liked.
