Meanwhile…
"Samantha Who?" has been cancelled after two seasons.

This episode could have been a great opportunity to show how "Dollhouse" doesn't need people dying or other skulduggery to make a great story. Personally, I think the story would have been most powerful if Margaret thought someone was going to murder her, but it turns out she just died naturally — and in fact…

Flo Rida (an unimaginative choice of name) ripped off Dead or Alive's "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" for his hook. And Pete Burns is about as "gaytastic" as you can get. I wonder if "Flo" (what, he wants to be a waitress on "Alice"?) took a gander at that before he yanked the riff.

We had "absolute capitalism" in America? When?

What, exactly, needed to be "updated" from the original movie? Can someone help me here? "Nightmare" is still a great movie.

I would love to re-experience that incredible high that hit me after I watched "Evil Dead, Part 2" for the first time. It was the first movie that I had to immediately rewind (back in those VHS days) and watch again. Also, the first time I saw the "Spirit of Christmas" short featuring the South Park boys before…

BTW, what's with the semicolons in this AV Club piece? Someone needs to slap the word processor.

"Excuse me, stewardess. I speak jive."

Southern Comfort on the rocks with a twist of lime. If I feel like a gin and tonic, it's with Bombay Sapphire.

I like my sex the way I like my chocolate: Down the front of my pants.

Yeah, I tagged that line as well, thinking, "There just HAD to be a better way for him to convey the information."

"Mortal Kombat 2." 'Nuff said.

I thought it was an overall good episode except for the "popstar wants to be killed" twist. It wasn't quite believable to me. I would have preferred something like the popstar simply being childlike and utterly unable, once off stage, to understand what's going on. She pays other people to worry about her safety so…

Just like most nuns.

It would go to figure that if the A.V. Club could get its hands on the awesome power of a time machine, it would immediately be put to use watching future media programs. Because there's not enough time in the present to watch and critique it all, of course.

That was fast.
Only an hour after the episode runs, the review is online. Very fast. Of course, you would have caught the "Sarah Connors" error if you slowed down. It's Connor.

My Bands
Well, Pink Floyd is out since Wright died. I would give a finger to have seen them on "The Wall" tour. I would also say Van Halen (Roth Era) would be a show I'd like to see again, except that's been so on-again-off-again that nobody knows what's going on.

Eliminations
Correct me if I'm wrong (and I may well be, since I don't watch American Idol with a notepad), but at the beginning of the show there were 100 singers in the running, and after the group performances there were 75 remaining. Only one in four got canned? I would have thought that each rough cut about…

So Steelers win on a fumble by Warner. The Cardinals certainly looked like they deserved to be there, though. They took the Steelers to their limits.

One Good Catch Deserves Another…
Well, Holmes puts a dagger into the Cardinals' hearts with a really great catch. But there's still some time, and Fitzgerald has a great leap for a Hail Mary…
