Has anyone nominated Horatio Sanz yet for worst cast member? I don't know that he was the worst ever, but I almost never found him funny and frequently found him aggressively unfunny.

Last night was the first time I saw more to Leslie than just Michael Scott with long blonde hair. And the supporting characters have finally established who they are. There's potential here. I'll watch it next year, unless I fall in a pit.

I've been cable-less for a few years now, and TCM is one of the channels I miss most. I didn't always take advantage of it like I should have, but it was comforting just knowing it was there.

Dead guys
I knew there would be more than one death in this episode, but I didn't know who the victims would be… but I figured it would be one of the male cast members, because the producers wouldn't want to waste any of the hot chicks the first week out.

Birds
I felt pretty sorry for Kenneth when his bird died. I'm glad they gave him a happy ending. But all those birds sure are going to poop a lot.

Johnny Five
Have you ever noticed the similiarites between this movie and Short Circuit? Pleasant, peace-loving human finds a robot with huge destructive potential, assumes it's from outer space. Then the military tries to blow it up. The only thing missing is Steve Guttenberg.

Ray's dream women
So they woke up in 2035, and Ray was saying that for his coma-dream-thing he chose Michelle Pfeiffer and some other modern actress. So Ray apparently lusts after women who hit their peak 50 years ago.

The more I think about the ending, the more I like it. This was such a silly show to begin with, I think it's perfectly in keeping with the tone. And I love the way they shoehorned everything from the 1973 reality into the 2035 reality… "We're on a gene hunt!"

Littletons
I thought the actress who plays Claire's mother did a great job, considering how nigh-impossible it would be to know how to play a scene like that. "Okay, so in this scene, a woman comes to your door whom you've previously seen with the guy who came to your door yesterday and freaked out, and she's here to

It'll be about the Harlem Globetrotters landing on the island.

If you remove a few letters, you have SATAN. Wesley and Willow's baby is a demon! A demon!!!

I didn't even recognize him at first! Partly because of the moustache but mostly because he never actually does anything on 30 Rock anymore.

Wasn't it odd that he called it "a fourth Raiders" and not "a fourth Indiana Jones?" Is that a clue?

The big reveal? Or not?
I was disappointed that they tried to explain away Morgan's motives, and even more disappointed that Sam didn't jump off that building. I thought for sure he was going to jump and the next/final episode would be about him trying to force his brain back into his real reality. I hope they come

I figured the neighbor would either a) turn out to be working for the Dollhouse, or b) get killed. As it turned out, b) almost happened but didn't because a).

The babysitter-screwing was a little bit icky and a little bit awesome.

Adult Sam's head on Teenage Sam's body looked like a pinhead in a sideshow. Couldn't they have just subbed in the different actors for Sam at different stages and cut back and forth, instead of morphing? It made the whole thing silly.

I was pretty happy to see April O'Neil. I hope the next episode features Elias Koteas aka Casey Jones.

TGS
I'd like to see more of TGS. Whenever we catch a peek at it here and there it seems like a wonderfully stupid show.

I was amazed that they did a whole episode with Gretchen Mol in a dark wig and dressed all sexy, and they didn't slip in a single "Hey, she looks like Bettie Page!" in-joke. But I guess they were too busy with the Tom Cruise jokes.
