It's about time we all started accepting Hey Arnold for the masterful cartoon it was. In its day, Hey Arnold was always overshadowed by Rugrats and then Spongebob Squarepants (which I was too old for), but it holds up far better today. It treated kids with a tough-minded maturity that was much closer to Dickens (or…

You talk about how over-crammed the episode was, but don't even mention the subplot about the Canadian health care representative who can't understand why his wife queefed in his face. Why would someone do something so terrible?

The scene when Piper Laurie attacks Sissy Spacek with a butcher knife in the original Carrie. She's creating cross shapes with the blade and that creepy music is playing. Scared the living hell out of me as a child.

I thought this episode was gold. My only problem was the similarity between it and that Simpsons episode where Homer removes a crayon from his brain. The joke about Sweet Dee forgetting to drop the trap also cribs from The Simpsons, when Homer needs the fire department to retrieve his hand from a vending machine…

Good point: it was totally Tom Hanks' fault that Pulp Fiction and Shawshank failed to win Best Picture. If you're going to blame anybody, blame the idiotic academy voters who championed Crash over Brokeback, Dances With Wolves over GoodFellas, and The King's Speech over The Social Network. Or are those misjudgments…

It's the same pathetic roundhouse he attempted on the ceremonial bell in "The Gang Gets A New Member"

sonofabitch!

Mathematician goes crazy
Drug addicts go crazy
Professional wrestler goes crazy
Time traveler goes crazy
Ballerina goes crazy
Old biblical dude goes crazy, builds arc

Well then, I'll regress, because I believe I've made myself perfectly redundant

You forgot to include in the Stray Observations that the whole gang was forced to wear sleeveless shirts in honor of Mac Day.

To me Breaking Bad isn't about Evil or acting out repressed urges.  It's about two major ideas: cosmic imbalance and art.  As for the former, the world is thrown off its axis when Walt beats cancer.  It negatively effects everyone in his life and even people he never meets.  Walt was supposed to die, but sold his soul…

Did anyone else think Natasha Legerro was the funniest?  She's the one only one who did any actual roasting.  I can't wait for Samberg and Timberlake's acoustic rendition of "Dick In A Box" at Lorne Michael's funeral.

Does this seem to anyone else like the glorified climax of a Power Rangers episode?

Adam, you spell like Charlie Kelly.

War Horse, Lincoln, and now Grapes of Wrath.  Steven Spielberg's man-crush on John Ford is becoming unhealthy.

Breaking Bad works wonderfully as a crime thriller and piss-poorly as a domestic melodrama.

Did they sing Youth of a Nation by POD?

Cullen's book was a revelation to me.  Anyone who grew up in Columbine's dark shadow should read it.  It clears up so many myths.  The attack was not about bullying or goths vs jocks.  Eric Harris was a psychopath, Klebold his depressive disciple, and the two killed mostly students they didn't even know.  Also, it was…
