Frank Langella is awesome in these episodes, but he's awesome in pretty much anything, isn't he?

Looked him up…yeah, he definitely married up. But in what movie did he have that snozzberries line? He wasn't in the new Willy Wonka.

I think I get where Rowan's coming from here. American Dad may be well-written and funny most of the time, but it's not something you can sit there and analyze for pages and pages. Unless you want to spend all of your time talking about Hayley's age. I think Rowan hit on the necessary points of the episode.

Will they still be able to use "Stand" by REM as the theme song on the DVDs?

Digression has no place on the AVClub message boards!

You mean Exile in Guyville Liz Phair, right? Not the pop monstrosity she's morphed into.

I have faith that the producers wouldn't seemingly repeat a case like this unless they had a very good reason. I think it'll take us by surprise and be an excellent episode.

Oops…I didn't mean to say I'm Christian, just that I believe in God. I'm actually Jewish. Strange that you don't hear about Jews adhering to the exact letter of "The Old Testament", isn't it?

Yeah, it's kind of like when Stan Lee and Jack Kirby (both Jewish) had to put together Christmas-themed issues of Marvel comics.

Please refer to the song "Science is Real" by They Might Be Giants for a nice hypothesis/theory explanation.

They were? I thought it was just the guy who played the original Starbuck.

In Bareil's final episode, it's like they came up with an explanation of his permanent slow-motion. He didn't even have to change his acting style that much!

Still, one episode of TOS sticks out for me. The one with the Rome-like planet. At the end, Uhura has a revelation: "The sun-worshippers…it's not the sun in the sky, it's the son of God!"

I know what you mean. I believe in God. I also believe he's responsible for evolution. I think the Christians who are against evolution are also the ones who think the world was created 6,000 years ago. Like my in-laws, for example.

Ah. My sarcasm detector was offline, apparently.

I don't mind if someone challenges my opinion. I promise to be respectful :)

"In the Hands of the Prophets" seems timely right now with people pushing for Creatonism to be taught in schools. Is today a good day for a heated debate? Anybody? Personally, I think if you demand that Creationism be taught in public schools, you've got to let any religion with a crazy idea do the same. For instance,…

I thought the exact same thing! When he mugged for the camera near the end of the battle, all I could think was "The Spider-King is attacking!"

My Mythbusters fan-fiction is *sexy*.

We wish. See my comment above. Damn you, Ms Jacobs, for getting our hopes up like that! Doppelgangers are not the same as celebrity impersonators!
