I think (but I'd have to watch again to be sure) Vera also said that she went to work for the Earl of Flintshire. The Earl's wife is Robert's cousin/Violet's niece, and she wrote a letter to Violet, which is how SHE found out about the rumor last season.

WHERE'S KINGSLEY FLOOD? er—I mean, FIREFLY?!?

Sa-weet Jee-sus!

No, the most unintentionally funny line of the night was "I never stop touching wood."

Crouching is preparation for pouncing.

Harper's Island was supposed to be the first season of this type of anthology, but unfortunately not enough people watched it to make subsequent seasons happen. It's too bad, really, because Harper's Island was pretty similar to American Horror Story in some respects (including being completely, gloriously batshit…

"Who would believe that Norm could be fired for what happened there?"

"Also, if you’re going to have a nervous breakdown in which you make a
rambling, spontaneous plea for sanity and compassion to a cruel,
uncaring world, make sure to do it on live television, because the
ratings will be huge. (See also: Network.)"

Which Mercury Rev song ends with a chorus from "Silent Night"? "Endlessly"? Yeah, that one.

Why don't I watch this show?

I don't know why, but this particular Inventory has been sticking in my head. I guess I'd add Dan Bern's "Chick Singers," which is barely more than a list of…well, you can guess. And another Ben Folds song, "Your Redneck Past," name-checks Billy Idol and Cool Moe Dee in the first verse.

It can't be a completely geek-free album, though, if it's got "Still Alive" on it.

She was funny on the guest commentary for Spaced.

You missed Yule. But I love you anyway.

No love for "Homeward Bound"?

Viewing-wise, I'd have to go with The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. It's never boring, and as a bonus, both little girls and little boys love it. Game-wise, if the kids are over ten, get them Killer Bunnies stat.

Even before Jeff actually leaves the room and everything gets happy without him, the show suggests that the group doesn't need him by having Abed give the big ending speech. That's genius.

I'd add Good Night, Mr. Tom, a children's book set in WWII Britain. Willy, the young Cockney boy sent to live in the country during the bombings, loses his best friend Zach, has his baby sister die in his arms, AND has to work past the stomach-turning abuses of his mother. Yet after all that it still has a happy…

He was real bad good in The Farnsworth Invention.

Atonement - sort of SPOILERy
I really enjoy the cut to the final section of Atonement. Over a shot of Briony in the 1940's you hear Vanessa Redgrave asking, "Can we stop for a moment?" Then it cuts to a shot of 1990's Briony, being interviewed in a television studio, which is not only crammed with modern electronics…
