When Betty said that, I glanced over at my husband, because it was EXACTLY the type of overreaction his mother has. I didn't want to bring it up with him, but he mentioned it unprompted—that line triggered some unpleasant memories for him. It's a very well-written and well-delivered line.

"…set to music reminiscent of Disney's The Sorcerer's Apprentice…"

Precisely my theory, as well.

Re: "Infinite bottle episode" — I prefer "Klein bottle episode."

Imported from Eagleton!

I love that Granny was affecting a Midwestern accent. When she opened her mouth, it sounded like she was going to go full-on Minnesotan for a moment there.

I remember watching an episode of House where he deduces something based on the fact that "women always match their bras and panties." That was complete news to me, and I'm a woman. (I don't think I have any underwear the same color as my bras.)

I thought being a travel agent is a good cover, too. If Stan caught one of them leaving the house at a strange hour, they could always handwave it with a, "Stupid client left his wallet and passport on the beach in *timezone appropriate locale*. I have to go in."

Well, excluding the picket line scene that opened season 5.

Just look at Counselor Troi!

I'm still sticking by my theory that Series!Clara is the original, and the other versions are afterimages or the fallout of some future (from our POV) event. So, Series!Clara is less experienced and therefore more hesitant, whereas the others complement the Doctor because they've been shaped by contact with him (even…

Dead guy, lying in a coffin…

I'm freaked out because I make eggs, bacon, and toast for breakfast 2-3 times per week, and now I'm going to hear that song…

That was my issue, too. Dick looked significantly older than when Archie died, implying that Adam isn't Archie's son—but that's based purely on the actor aging.

I work in my university's music library, and when I'm on the morning shift, I get to choose an LP to be Record of the Day. We generally go for visually interesting covers, and often we just go to a random number generator and pick the best-looking album near whatever number comes up.

RIP, Andreas Katsulas. I hope heaven has enough scenery for you to chew (in a non-cheesy, completely affecting way).

I want "XFL: XRIME FCENE LINVESTIGATION" to be a new show on Adult Swim NOW.

Also, I'm glad that Alaska is tactful enough to make it seem as though she's not making value judgments because she's just assigning everyone as they walked in, though of course she had the choice whether to start or end with herself. Notice that she made a point of showing that she remembered their names—those are…
