Even though you double posted (which is nearly goddamn impossible with the new format) I'm going to like this. Because that's a goddamn clever, subtle Saved By The Bell reference, and I've always appreciated it.

The dvd cover was great…if you had already seen the series before seeing the cover. The ex-girlfriend who forced me to watch the series initially brought over all 5 seasons on DVD and didn't warn me that something so benign as a dvd cover would spoil every major death of the first 4 fucking seasons.

Not to mention the 2 full lengths he had prior to Culdesac. (or are those the mix tapes to which you refer?) and the two I AM JUST A RAPPER EPs, wherein he rapped over indie rock songs.

I make your iPod hotter than a lighter would.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I guess he's right about season 1, but there was definitely an overall plot for seasons 2 and beyond.

Have to say, I am glad Todd does something other than recap in his write-ups. Not just for this show, but everything he covers.

I found the Extras special to be a lot more touching, if only because the character of Andy was a lot more relatable than Brent.

For some reason, this error seems to be more and more common. At my job, the supervisors have to have names for their teams. One of the teams changed their name from "the Go-Getters" to the "Hurricanes", and they have a sign that says "FORMALLY KNOWN AS THE GO GETTERS".

Louie left the room to explore the house on his own for a good few minutes while she made the old man an egg. Why is it so implausible that she took her jacket off and put it on a chair during that time?

Yes, I go home for lunch. I get an hour and I live 5 minutes away. I bust my ass in the 7 hours I spend at work each day. And I make shit. So fuck off, the both of you. I will waste company time all I want.

Actually, a friend of mine from NYC was telling me how this show totally nails dating in the city. Her exact quote:

I rev her up, get her engine started. Leave her purrin' and I roll on by.

Great write-up
I read the first couple of paragraphs of this while at home on my lunch break, and immediately closed it so that I could finish reading it at work.

It also leads to a great scene later in the series that parodies it, and Buster drinks an entire box of Lucille's wine, mistaking it for a giant juice box.

Did anyone else get a similar vibe to the pilot from this scene? For a second, I almost thought it was the same lady who randomly flew off in a helicopter. It's definitely not, but I think both scenes have a similar feel, and the mention of the helicopter could almost be a call-back.

Captain,
I think he had every right to fire Brent, but went out of his way to antogonize him at the Christmas party. He showed his true colors there, and deserved that nasty look.
