As a father of triplets I was incredibly annoyed that Lily and Marshall have to apologize for taking themselves out of the nightlife in order to care for their child whilst getting a decent amount of rest… but I could have forgiven that had the episode presented its arguments with a bit more wit.  And man, do the

They really committed to this episode.  I was surprised to see not only a shot of Batman puking from waves of vertigo but a quick "blink and you'll miss it" shot of him crawling through a puddle of his own vomit, which quickly disappears thereafter- still, nice attention to detail.  Also:  Batman puking.

Oh Toaster, the Kite-Eating-Tree IS the Anti-Life Equation.  Just as Snoopy's doghouse is "The Source".

I have not seen all that many episodes of "Brave and the Bold"- I did see this one however and… lord, how devastating- and this was supposed to be the non-broody, more kid-friendly one!  HOLY EMOTIONAL BLINDSIDE BATMAN.  Superb, gut-wrenching twist on the Batman mythos.

Yeah, Simon's not Jayne but as these episodes are very quick to point out, and let's face it, the opening moments of "Serenity", spoken by a very dangerous man, Simon is not a pansy.  He does whatever it takes.  Is he genteel?  Snobbish?   Yeah, sure.  He'll also kill a man by strangling him with his knee on the guy's

Good points all yet at the same time, I find Leonard so hyperemotional and mewling that he's my least favorite character on the show and I don't want to watch his insecurities dialled up far beyond 11 dealing with a child- that just seems no fun at all.  Since they've already thrown a bucket of tepid water on the

The problem is they appear to be so on the fence about whether or not to go forward with the gay angle… that there's just no consistency for the character anymore. I don't think the writers really want to write about a gay character- that's the impression I get. And if they don't, if they don't think they can do it

My problem with it is that once Raj got Stuart into the group… Raj ceased to exist and it was Sheldon torturing Stuart for the rest of the episode- I don't think Raj even had any lines by the time the movie rolled around.  Not exactly a Ross/Rachel setup.  And Penny's lukewarm feelings being trotted out for a second

As great as those are, I love it even more when these "lessons" are immediately undercut by what I now refer to as Deus Ex Ericka, where at the last moment where Cartman might have turned a corner and become a better person he:
1. Is immediately rewarded for his disgusting behavior by an outside force, negating his

Imzadi and Imzadi II- two Trek books that I actually broke my "I don't do books from TV shows" rule for- and yes, they rocked.  Lot of blanks filled in, lots of nicely handled character work, good continuation of Tom Riker and even Sela's stories.  Peter David has scribbled out some very decent Trek novels.  I also

Hey I'd love for the guy to make his coin, I just think there are better projects out there.  He'd do well in a Shield Uniform.
