This even more complicated when one takes in account that a lot of our perception about Willard comes  from his narration which Coppola asked Michael Herr to write during editing..

I actually think Welles would make a great primer/gateway theme. It is true he only completed 13 films, but not only some of those films are very little seen (like the great Filming Othello), but many of them exists in multiple cuts (Touch of Evil has 3, I think Mr Arkaddin has 4 or 5). Also there is a lot of TV work,…

That is one of the reasons I have a problem with including Touch of Evil here. I love that the memo recut exist, but it isn't a real director's cut. It is an attempt to get close to suggestions Welles made that were not necessarily final as the memo was supposed to be a starting point, not a closing one. It's very…

I m all for you doing the next 3 seasons. They are better than their low reputations if you accept the Rambaldi stuff is just a macguffin (second half o S3 is specially strong).

Nope. Lorne got introduced at the begining of season 2.

Don't worry, Noel. The show will find plenty of stuff for Wesley to do.

Riley
Noel, you soon learn that Riley is one of the many subjects in which Whedon fans whine for no reason. There's a plot that doesn't work at all in the end of his stint, but otherwise he works pretty much the way you describe for his whole run.

Tom Waits, as surprising as it might sound Ok Computer debuted at #21 and never went up than that. It did sold a lot of copies during the rest of the year, but never that much in a single week.

I expect that they hope to achieve "ambiguity" by having FBI lady to go to far and some point and letting Jack give some speech to her. Jack has being as trigger happy as usual, but much more self conscious about it.

I guess Hablo just did the perfect beginners guide to Sparks.

Some recommendations:
79's #1 Song in Heaven is easily the best thing Giorgio Moroder has ever done (the follow up Terminal Jive is pretty good as well)
83's In Outer Space - the closest to a hit they got - is very fun
94's Gratuitous Sax and Senseless Violins is amazing
and 02's Lil' Bethoven is the catchiest album in…

I was surprised that Signals, Calls & Marches wasn't mentioned more often here.

1994: Jeff Buckley - Grace

2…

My very obvious list

1988: Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation
1989:…

but I'd argue that the biggest problem is the complete lack of consistence in it.

Angela's ignorance of Brian's feelings
This is indeed one of the most annoying running trrends of the show, but I'd argue that the biggest is the complete lack of consistence in it. One often feels that how aware Angela is, changed according to the episode plot needs (so one week she acts like a teen girl taking…

Tigh and Lee
Let me disagree with you, Chris. There's many reasons why Adama can believe Tigh will do a better job this time. He was a very efective leader of the resistance back in New Caprica, then while he had nothing but contempt for Roslin the last time, he at least respect Lee and isaware that Adama aproves the…
