I'm dreaming of a Wight Christmas

How Does Make Image?

Okay, okay, I will then. No need to shout!

Hmm, I don't know. I guess it might have been, but it's more likely I made a mistake. Either way, I still recommend WCW to all and anyone.

I've been cautiously looking forward to this purely on the basis of the title, a couple of production stills, and the director. This review has reassured me that it's exactly what I hoped it'd be.

"Elton John - The Cut"

I Poot. You Poot. He, She or Imogen Poots.

Sidebottom.

But to be fair, all they've got is a red guitar, three chords and the truth.

Ah, St Erik, the patron saint of the potato chip (he was martyred by being cut into thin slices and boiled in oil - although some scholars argue the oil may have been superfluous).

Jo Firestone, you say? She looks tired ;)

Same here, it was the ideal reminder to catch up (and since I don't know anyone else who watches it "in real life" it was a nice way to extend the enjoyment of an episode, but coming here and sharing in the discussion)

Yes, of all their regrettable cutbacks that one was the most disappointing for me :(

"Mary, after that lap in the Bugatti you seem to have a soggy bottom"

"Created by Paul Attanasio" - it's a long way down from Homicide: Life on the Street to 'Bull' :(

Parks and Rec always had wonderful character names.

Yep, same here. My first reaction to the headline was "oh not Gene Wilder, no!", then on reading the obit "he was 83?!?"… then - briefly "that was a good run" - until the sudden realisation "that's the same age as my dad"…

"After Girl, the next lesbian kiss to air on British TV did not happen until 1994, when Anna Friel and Nicola Stephenson kissed on the soap Brookside."

Oh boy, having finally managed to watch this episode, having carefully avoided spoilers… wow, that was disappointing. As many others have noted, the quality of the dialogue has definitely dipped this season - but it doesn't help that the last couple of episodes have been directed by someone with no eye for action and

Also, my first thought on seeing those photos:
