True. Still, it seems like "Relaxing" is downright exhaustive in the future - Play sports/have sex rinse and repeat for days on end. Maybe it's just me but my god - I want a little downtime on my days off!

I have to wonder… How many other times has this idea of a trio of "Leader, bubble head and bored troublemaker" been seen on TV?

You know… It's almost weird but every time I think of Paris, Louise and Madeline, I keep thinking of how they are a (Slightly less psychotic) version of Azula and her friends from "Avatar: The Last Airbender"… I mean, tone them down just a tad and you end up with Paris and her friends.

Let face is - Risa is a planet of prostitutes. There's no nice way of putting it. Now, I have no problem with a person engaging in prostitution if they want to - as long as they are someplace it's legal then that is their decision. But I always found it interesting that in the Trek universe "Going to a prostitute"

To be honest, I saw that the videogame was being pushed on my XBox one day, looked at the trailer and completely wrote off everything connected to it. I might give it a try if it lasts out a season and hits netflix however, based on the good signs here.

This was the era when animated shows were allowed to grow up a bit though… BTAS and it's follow ups were allowed to be a bit more mature. The Animiniacs were allowed to sneak in a more adult joke every now and again (and again and again). Heck, even the animated Superman was allowed to be darker when it came to

I think we have reached some sort of new level of insanity in our culture. I am not sure whether we ought to be proud or ashamed of that.

Nope. Here is my working theory.

Probably just a one off reason to up the tension and all, but I do find it interesting that the Doctor reactivated the HADS in this episode. Especially after last episode when Clara mentioned that she is of the opinion that the TARDIS doesn't like her. There is something going on there and I think it plays into the

You know, I have only one real problem with B5… and it isn't even really with the show and is instead with JMS himself… After B5 JMS did Crusade (Set in the B5 universe) and he did the weird TV movie (Set in the B5 Universe) and he did a direct to DVD thing (Set in the B5 universe) and several B5 TV movies. With one

Nowadays, when ever sitcoms are serialized, I think that is a problem. I mean, there are some shows that just work without needing serialized elements. I never quite got into it but "Everybody Loves Raymond" was a solid sitcom that never really bothered to get into serialization because it didn't need to.

I am just waiting for the best line in the entire series to come up : "The only man to every fight a Minbari and live is behind me. You are in front of me. Be somewhere else."

This was, by far, the best Scooby Doo series to date. And very possibly one of the best series on TV in the last couple years. I never thought I'd say that about a show with the words "Scooby Doo" in the title…

I think that the very setup works in favor of allowing the show to reach outside it's regular cast. I mean, let's face it - "Parks and Rec" has some "Newhart" in it's DNA as well, and Newhart did quite well with reaching out to it's crazy townfolk to find things to do for many years…

Zeppo - Wow… you know what? I never connected the actor to Buffy before now!

Not believable that any sane straight male would be upset. Roon (or Rune or however it is spelled) is not sane. He's kinda weird.

One has to remember… Lorelai is smart, funny and sexy. She is a perfect woman except for one small flaw… she has a streak of crazy running right up the middle of her.

Or could it be something simpler : Lorelai likes the relationship she has with Rory and therefore doesn't want another person entering into that private little world.

Perhaps NBC actively wants to drive viewers away from it so it can get down to the business of making wigs?

The problem is that, to be honest, even without that backstory I had no problems accepting D'Argo would do that. I mean, he hasn't been portrayed as one of the most empathetic characters on the show and I could have seen him doing that. This makes it mire understandable, to be sure, but it wasn't entirely out of his
