For all the crazy stuff that went on around there I always figured Wisteria Lane was on some sort of Hell Mouth. If the finale had dealt with that directly I might have been willing to check back in.

I guess TTOI wouldn't be so good with bleeps, but Iannucci can do bleeping pretty well - jump to around 2:12 in this clip:

How can a 90-degree angle also be acute?!? You just raped my mathematics education!

After the reception that Lorax and Arrietty got from the morons at Fox maybe they're toning down anything that might be considered left/liberal propaganda, such as 'dumping mutagenic waste into sewers may have some influence on the environment'.

In Michael Bay speak "tough, edgy, funny, and completely lovable" means that they'll be offensive racial stereotypes that the kids 'can relate to'.

"Uncanny Valley Girls" would be a great name for a band.

I'm still hoping for them to bring back SeaQuest DSV.

Yeah, I remember during the episode when Pam was jealous of the new girl, there was a cutaway of Jim saying "I had feelings for a co-worker that I haven't had in years…" and I thought 'Woah, This. Just. Got. Interesting.' Then it turned out to be a joke about Dwight grabbing his penis.

Maybe it's just that I'm not familiar with the way American television works, but I'd like to see an AV Club Primer-style article on how this whole 'syndication' vs. 'reruns' thing actually works, what exactly is the difference? Also the whole ratings thing- obviously when an article says that a certain show got a

I didn't like the third episode so much. As another commenter said in a Misfits discussion a few weeks back I feel that jealous people will always be prone to jealous, destructive acts, whatever the technology.

I know, right? The concept sounded like the bad jokes that Brooker makes in passing in his articles but by the end I was blown away. I just loved the moment when the leering crowd started to realise how awful the situation was.

I don't know why, but I found Carrie's scream after the last episode of BSG the funniest thing I'd seen all week.

To Brainlock: It didn't seem like Curtis's original power was straight-forward time travel, it seemed more like he had the ability to rewind/fast-forward through his own life. This neatly avoided any possibility of there being two Curtis-es during the club scene from season one but doesn't work with this episode. I'm

I don't think there's much sense in trying to retroactively impose some form of continuity on this- lets just accept that the writers either forgot, or have willfully disregarded the rules established in previous seasons.

I thought this episode was a bit of a mess. For a start, wasn't the whole 'old man going back to kill Hitler' scenario given at the end of last season as the justification to why Curtis couldn't have his power back? But Curtis's power only allowed him to go back through his own life and change decisions he'd already

Certainly give it a try, but it's not serialized drama like Misfits, it's more like a British version of The Twilight Zone.

YES!

Bellflower: Keith Phipps showing once again that he can't tell the difference between a film that's misogynistic and a film that's about misogyny.

Am I really the only person who thought that this game didn't live up to Asylum? To be fair, I did start this game immediately after playing Asylum in full (including finding all the collectables/Riddler secrets). So it could be that I was having some 'Arkham' fatigue. I just felt that this game obeyed the action

Perhaps it won't, and in 45-or-so years time it will have caught up to itself and it will be a highly acclaimed, mid-2000s period piece featuring it's own first season in the background.
