It doesn't work all that well if you jump in at a random episode—I'd recommend going straight from the pilot. There's some really brilliant editing in the first ten minutes—if you're not hooked by the time "FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS" slams across the screen, I don't know what to tell you.

If his mother actually is on fire, then he may speak to her but he may not leave the table. The instructions should be pretty simple for putting her out again.

Though I am exactly in the age group that he's talking about, I didn't even get a cell phone till a little more than a year ago and didn't get texting till last January. I think I can explain what the cell-phone-glued-to-your-ear is all about, though.

Six months ago, I agreed to a date with a guy against my better judgement, mostly because I still wanted to see "Speed Racer" and I didn't want to pay. We'd dated previously a little, but we'd stopped dating once I realized he was a creepy, sleazy octopus whose hands I did not want on me at any point in my life, ever.…

I liked Paula telling her she was also going to be an actress. I can certainly see her getting a crazy cameo or two in MTV movies, but how is it acting if she's just going to show up and be herself? Oh well, can't wait for the last minute of her fame.

Incognito backup singer!
I saw the scarf-and-sunglasses lady too, and she kept me endlessly entertained. My guesses are a) she's hiding from the paparazzi, b) she killed someone between last night and today, or c) she's not the real backup singer, and they were trying to hide the fact that they sneakily replaced her…

This isn't America's Next Best Friend!!!!
All of London's weirdness aside, I was really surprised to see her resolve the classic bed fight by offering to give up her own bed. That was a genuinely nice thing to do—what the hell is wrong with her? Doesn't she know what show she's on? We've already gotten the "I'm not…

Lemur Eyes
Allison looks exactly like a girl I used to live with, creature-of-the-night eyeballs and all. The girl used to come stand just inside my doorway and watch me doing crunches, or clipping my nails, or vaccuuming the floor. She would never say anything, she just…stood there.

My roommate and I were just talking about how Juliet seems to be the replacement Kate for everybody, unfortunately for her.

With all the talk of judge pimping and audience manipulation, I have to say…the judges still do have better taste than America 90% of the time. Of course, the other 10% of the time you get people like Adam, but I still trust them over the people who put Sanjaya Malakar through to the top six.

That's what I was wondering! Please God let it be the judges' choice. I always feel like Simon can overpower the rest of the judges if necessary, which is a good thing. Unless there are blondes involved.

Is it just me, or did Anoop look generally pissed/upset to be picked? He was totally expressionless the whole minute or so the camera was on him, and he wouldn't look anyone in the eyes. What was up with that?

I really thought she was going to fall over for a minute there, and I wish she had. She could have pulled Seacrest right over! It would have been the best.

Jesse spells her name like a boy
It's funny, I didn't think I like her very much at all, but I haven't been able to get her version of "Bette Davis' Eyes" out of my head since she sang it. She's got such a cool tone! It's possible that I like her a lot. Then again, I tend to judge contestants on whether I would buy a…

Well, my roommate declared that she loved him on the spot and proceeded to vote for him six times, so I wouldn't say he's a lost cause yet.

It's from Alonso Duralde's review on MSNBC, and also contains such zingers as: "Kreuk, from TV's "Smallville," has all the presence of the shampoo model she really is" and "When you've got a name like "Bison," it's probably inevitable that you embrace the dark side."

What
No Jonas Brothers 3D movie review? I would have thought you guys had been saving up zingers all week.

Comment from another review: "I've never seen an actor fail to walk into a room convincingly. Chris Klein does so."

Yes. James Marsden. The cheekbones and the accent and the freaking Billy Idol hair. I will love him till the day I die.
