Ridiculous omission, it's an obvious choice for a list like this. Is this some sort of silly backlash against Whedon's (admittedly) vocal fans?

Let me add my thanks for the great reviews of this terrific show.

That bit with the medium was scary, but again, it just reminded me of a very similar scene in The Changeling.

Just adding to the David Lynch love here. Nobody does creepy, unsettling scenes quite like him, and Mulholland Dr. is full of them.

The Orphanage?
I enjoyed the Orphanage, but I'm always surprised when people call it one of the best movies of that year. Really, the story is comprised of nothing but ghost story cliches, grabbed from any number of superior films, including an ending that is precisely the same as The Haunting of Hill House. I don't

30 Rock in in decline, no doubt, but still funny.

For some reason I thought everyone in this little study group were supposed to be mature students (early 20s and up). Annie certainly doesn't seem to be 18.

Spending so much time picking over details of the "proper" episode order in this review felt just weird. Maybe I simply don't take the show as seriously as Todd, but I watched it, laughed my ass off, and didn't get hung up on any apparently glaring continuity errors.

Kinda agree. Maybe not the worst episode, but the whole mafia thing was just so over-the-top, into pure fantasy land, that I just couldn't buy the rest of the episode.

C+ is a ridiculous grade. The B stories may have been less than stellar, but every moment at the pool was hilarious. The too-proud dean, the warring professor's ("TEACHER Chang"), all the stuff in the background. Add to that how it makes all the shows that followed it look so tired, Community is the break-out hit of

Agreed that it is "just" failed banter, and not a secret code, but it does work very well to enhance the paranoia of the movie. I love the way she just blurts out her address and phone number at the end of the scene, as if to say "Hell, we're getting nowhere, just track me down later."

I don't need long detailed explanations of the science in this show, but the whole "rerouting the biolinks" remotely to wipe Victor (is that what they actually did, it wasn't really clear) felt like the writer's using technobabble. This was a common problem on Star Trek, where every second week they would remodulate

Hyperbole alert: okay, maybe not "one of the least talented actor ever", but you get the idea…

I hated Vaughn's character in Swingers, but I got the feeling we were supposed to hate him, so that was fine. The rest of the movie makes up for it.

That scene with the model train set at the end of "The Wrong Trousers" is amazing. Not only is it hilarious, but it's fast-paced and exciting in a way most action movies can only dream of being.

It's silly, but in some ways more of an anti-catchphrase, just because Sheldon is always so awkward about it. I can't see someone saying that in real life (unlike, say, "blerg").

It's possible she was just repressing. But there seemed to be something almost robot-like about the way she was saying "They told me I would be happy, and I'm happy".

Look out for black vans!
We know that the programmed actives can be given various post-hypnotic suggestions, to make them more malleable ("Would you like a treatment?"). Otherwise, wouldn't any new personality freak out every time they wake up in a chair in some underground lair?

Something important about the Mellie/November/Madeline scene: she said that Adele told her that after she served her contract she would no longer miss her child, and instead be happy, which she was.

I presume the only people who don't like Blair Witch are those that have never spent one second of their lives outside the city, never been camping, hiking, or whatever.
