Yeah, Prole, 'F' isn't really a grade, it just stands for 'failure.'

Interesting thing: part of Roddenberry's pitch for the original show was that their story concepts would allow them to save money by reusing sets that had been built for movies and other shows. So, that's actually part of the franchise's raison d'etre.

Yeah, wait, who begat us and then slept with France?

Good point, CR. It's analogous to when Bush got credit for invading Afghanistan so quickly after 9/11, which, as David Cross put it, "is like being proud of a grown man for not shitting his pants."

Seriously. When I found out about the Pope thing I felt so vindicated. Especially because his reason for not dealing with the molestation was that he was more concerned with ferreting out doctrinal dissidents. Can there be a better argument against the existence of organized religion than that?

Wow, shit, that's supposed to be "might." That's horrendous.

But wait it's honey OH I see what you did there.

Thumbs down. Way too forced.

This is amazing
I'm starting to think Nicolas Cage but be the most awesome person in the world.

To be fair, some kind of goth-cred shot to the arm is called for after a conversion to fucking Catholicism.

Agreed. God knows they're better than Deicide.

Dr. Slaggleberry is exactly what that collaboration would be called, too.

So I had never listened to Bison BC before just now
But holy shit am I sold. If that's representative, these guys may replace Mastodon in my frequent listening.

Dude, hell yeah. Some of the best riffcrafters in death metal.

Fuck yeah for Enforcer
Despite the ubiquitousness of the term, what I would actually call "speed metal" (Thundersteel-era Riot, Painkiller-era Priest) is disappointingly rare. I love the style and I'm always glad to see it show up.

Yeah, even through part of s3 it was pretty good, I thought. But it was definitely one of the biggest transformations I've seen a show make between the beginning and its final season (which I think was 5?)

I'm told there's a Star Trek novel that attempts to explain this by having Britain conquer France at some point prior to first contact. Which…wow.

Axe Cop for Best Everything.

The first mention of money being gone is in Voyage Home. But they're crazy inconsistent about it throughout the canon.

BOOM
Can I get a shit yeah for Irredeemable?
