"Hey, remember that episode when Mulder and Scully get stuck in the virtual world video game?"
I remember that one - First Person Shooter. It was really poor, even for the standards of Season 7, although the actress playing the character in the game redeemed it somewhat…

I totally agree - Pusher is definitely up there with my favourite episodes. I wasn't as keen on the follow-up episode when Modell came back (Kitsunegari) though - they probably should have quit while they were ahead.

"Being popular is the most important thing in the world"
I wonder if that was a reference to Willy Loman's advice to Biff in Death of a Salesman. Not sure if Bart will turn out like Biff though…

A pedant writes…
I hate to be pedantic, but I think the expression is 'baying' for blood, not 'braying'.

I always thought Grotesque was pretty good. I'd definitely say it was better than Tesos dos Bichos and Hell Money anyway.

Any fool with a dick can make a baby, but only a real man can raise his children.

This is what happens Larry, when you find a stranger in the Alps.

Disgraceful
How the hell did this movie an F? There's a dog wearing a tie and glasses for chrissakes. That's got to be worth at least a B+. I demand an explanation.

"Tattoo" is definitely up there for me. I also really like "Cobwebs and Strange" for some reason.

We're back in business…
… that was a scary couple of months.

Malaise Forever
Surely Jimmy Carter was history's greatest monster?

Hey, look at my feet. You like those moccasins? Look in your closet; there's a pair for you. Don't like them? Then neither do I!

Flanders
It's funny to see how Flanders and his kids act in this episode - especially Todd (or is it Rod?) who mocks Bart as he rides by on his sit on mower. It seems really out of character, but I guess there's quite a few moments like that in the first Season when the characters were still being formed.

I always thought they were saying 'Pants de Leon'. But then again, I am a moron.

Jerry's hair
When they flash back to high school, I'm not sure that Jerry's hair is that much stupider than the style he normally has. He was guilty of sporting some pretty shocking mullets over the years.

The Revenge
I absolutely love this episode, I think it's the first one which really showcases the twisted genius that is George Louis Costanza.

Speak for yourself. I think he projects a rugged, wheezing masculinity.

White meat, dark meat. All will be carved.

UK release?
I hope the DVD comes out in the UK too - I remember looking forward to seeing the full Grindhouse feature in the cinema, but ended up having to settle with watching Death Proof on its own. I've seen the fake trailers on Youtube now, but it would still be good to have it out there as it was supposed to be.

Carl Weathers
Good to see respected dramatic actor Carl Weathers made the trailer.
