In practice I can't actually distinguish a non-glitched MP3 from a physical factory recording anywhere above 192 (and even at 128 I can very often only hear the difference in snippets), but then I don't have super high-end audio equipment.

I can understand why it might be frustrating for the subject of the Wikipedia article, but as a sometime contributor to Wikipedia I also understand the issue from their perspective: if I'm someone who has a personal vendetta against Mackenzie McHale, *I* can just as easily claim to be acting on her behalf (or even…

I was actually half expecting them to go to a "bulging di(s)k" joke.

I agree that overall Aaron probably deserved it more, but the shoulder injury definitely sucked some of the wind out of his sails and made him not nearly so invincible. And I'm with olive snook as well, I can't see for the life of me how or where Jasmine lost it.

He was seen in the audience, and he was in the opening "Top 20 reunited" number — although he obviously wasn't able to dance in it, given his injury, he did have a "standing behind the bar" cameo. I do wonder why they didn't acknowledge him at all otherwise (they certainly have done so in the past with injured dancers…

We may not have known in the very first episode, but it was made clear much earlier than this that it was Gerry Dantana.

"In other words, it was The Newsroom of the early 90s."

Absolutely it is, but there really were (still are) people who actually think that way. God was even *angrier* that the American people actually reelected Bill Clinton to a *second* term, to hear these folk tell it.

Me too! (Well, okay, turned 21 a couple of weeks after the election.)

Its reputation also depended to a large degree on topical pop-culture references that were "edgy" (or what passed for it) at the time, but just land as dated and stale now that Dan Quayle and Deborah Norville and Connie Chung and their like are mostly answers to trivia questions rather than daily presences in our…

The performance episode itself isn't the only time the dancers are getting notes from the choreographers and judges about dropping their shoulders or pointing their feet or whatever. There's also the choreo rehearsals themselves, as well as the dress rehearsal for the live show, and maybe even some "pssst, you might…

Yes, we do know who got fired. Marcia Gay Harden has already said more than once that the interviews are pertaining to a wrongful termination suit filed by Jerry Dantana.

Etpietro, we already know that Jerry's the one who got fired; it's already been established in dialogue that the depositions are for a wrongful termination suit filed by Jerry.

IIRC it was actually Breitbart itself, not just "one of the Breitbart-influenced sites".

I'll admit that maybe I phrased my point badly, and for that I apologize, but the simple fact remains that the issue you raised is not a real flaw in the work.

Nearly *all* fiction outside of the fantasy and science fiction genres is ostensibly occurring in the "real world", and plenty of "real world" fiction either directly incorporates or is to some degree inspired by stuff that really happened — so there's no value in actually analyzing a work of fiction on the basis of…

What the sheriff's office was massmailing was the *announcement* that the file was up on the server and ready for download. Everybody receiving it still had to click on the link to get the actual download from the server.

Even if he doesn't make it to the final four, we'll still get to see them dance together again — all 20 competitors come back for the finale and dance if one of their routines gets picked as a judges' favourite, and there's just no question that at least one Aaron/Jasmine routine (Giving Tree for damn sure, and…

Echos Myron, believe it or not even Wyoming had a Democratic governor for most of the 2000s.

Holy crap, what an 80s time capsule this is. The credit sequences, the hair, the clothes, the decor, the pacing…IT BURRRRRNS!
