I was a seminarian at a time when Ratzinger was a Prefect for the Doctrine of the Faith back in the late 80's and so I got a swirl of opinion thrown at me about him at the time. He was seen by other seminarians as a power grabber, and as one to stomp on intellectual freedoms of others and their opinions within the…

Dallas has a lesbian sheriff. Several years now. For what's it's worth. Police here still suck.

I thought flogging was included when you watched Glee. I'm abstaining, or I'm just lazy.

From what I saw, the dead returned didn't seem to know a lot about why they're back other than the one wife, (Mrs. Costas?). Chloe got grilled and she just made up stuff for Pierre's sake. All the rest seemed pretty confused all season until the horde, hive-mind. And the pretty waitress seems to be directing things…

This isn't Murder, She Wrote. It's well done poetry. Death doesn't give up it's answers, and apparently coming back from the dead doesn't give a lot of answers. Relax. Life doesn't give hardcore answers. Nothing is simple.

No casting decisions yet? Hmmm. Patton Oswalt, anyone?

Nice episode rewatch bonus. When the daughter brings in Harry Dean Stanton with the heart shaped box of chocolates to visit his girlfriend, she says it's to celebrate Valentine's Day. "We just refilled the box with Milk Duds because she likes to suck on them." I would have spit take if I had any liquid in my mouth.

The story of the astronaut gets told in another of Blatty's novels that he eventually made into a movie. The novel is "Twinkle, Twinkle, "Killer" Kane!" and the movie was a Golden Globe Best Picture nominee called "The Ninth Configuration."

Oooh, the Jonathan Demme episode of The Killing stood out for me this year. It resonated in a Silence of the Lambs way. The Killing Season 3 was a nice surprise, too. Glad to see we get a few more eps. on Netflix to consume.

I've got 2 to mention. 1938's "Bringing Up Baby" has Cary Grant and Hepburn singing 'I Can't Give You Anything But Love' over and over a capella to keep the leopard happy and in line, and it helps them fall in love with each other.

It got mentioned, about 10 comments up, by DawnWarrior. Sorry.

But "group of misfits" still works if I remember Ally's love life correctly, or anyone else near her.

HEY, Spoilers! Don't ruin Andy Griffith for me.

Spoilers be here: She dropped a scalpel on the floor and apparently, in a scene not show us, she picked it up and waved it in the air scaring the nurses into calling security. So the head of the dept. or hospital used it as leverage to force her to take the open position for the medical doctor of the floor (called…

I always vote against the huggers. Needy and creepy, I say. Too much touching going on and I won't stand for it. ($40, anyone? anyone?)

She was in bed with Momma Margaret last week when she was listening to the noisy neighbors and going "I gotta get outta this place."

Now now, a man with an axe and a girl with a chainsaw can share a good bit of wood with each other. Oh dear.

She lives in Dallas? Totally missed that.

I've had a friend fired for blocking the path of a co-worker trying to leave during an argument. It was just a few seconds till he finished what he was saying. But it was enough.
