WTF and predictions
So tonight confirmed my suspicions that they just threw out the whole "Sansa tipped off the queen" plotline. That sucks, but I'm still loving the show. My only question is "Why?".

Cheers
I've been working my way through the whole series again on Netflix and I think it's going to have one of the longest shelf-lives of any sitcom.

Freekbass
Bootsy is involved with one of my favorite bands to go see live: Freekbass. If they're ever playing in your town I highly recommend checking them out if you like funky bass grooves.

Minority Report
Neuroin: Just tell them you have asthma.

@Todd: Where did you get this understanding? That's pretty big news. How do I become a showrunner so I can see these sacred outlines?

Birdhouse in your Soul is my alarm tone on my phone, so for months I've been waking up to that song….and I gotta say I don't mind. It's such a lovely song that I don't mind having it on repeat in my head during the first few hours of the morning.

Yep. I thought that was just the right amount of reference to the film crew. Jim's line (something like "So you guys are filming us in the bathroom now?") was the best of the whole night for me. I think throughout the series they've done a good job of drawing attention to the film crew just the right amount.

True that.
Say, didn't we all decide that Genevieve isn't allowed within 100 yards of an article that mentions Ghostbusters?

Todd's review of this episode is 100% correct IMO.

I've seen a lot of his films and the two I've come back to the most are Hannah and Crimes. I enjoyed this write-up, but now I really want to know what the author would think of Crimes.

@OTP: Thanks to your comment and the review I'm inclined to watch it, but first I need to get a little space from the guy. In the past week I've had to deal with him on The Daily Show, Conan, and Real Time With Bill Maher. I don't think anyone asked for that much Colin Quinn.

I totally agree. Worst. WU host. Ever.

True Lies
made me completely change my mind about him. He made that movie fun. Although Bill Paxton pissing hisself didn't hurt, either.

Unrelated, but awesome
The Netflix Instant Watch catelog just blew the fuck up. I think I'm going to have to quit my job and drop out of school now. And that's just for Cheers alone.

@LC: Hey, if you can enjoy it and relate to it that's great. Personally, I just felt like the show was trying too hard to force me to care about something that hadn't earned it.

@LC: Except for the fact that, at least in the fictional universe, they will DEFINITELY have more children. They just have to use some of that affluence to buy some unscarred uterus.

Yeah, yeah, I know. I'm not surprised at all that this storyline came up, and it would pretty much HAVE to be those two characters given the other couples' ages and storylines. I'm mostly just taking issue with the "end of the world" gravity the direction and music tried to force on the situation.

Sub-par
None of this episode really clicked for me (although I'm always glad to see Oscar-winner Richard Dreyfuss). Most of it was just nothing special, but there were two scenes that jumped out at me as just BAD, and that's something I'm not used to from this show.

Thank you for asking about Casey Jones
as much as I love the guy in other stuff, it's definitely the elephant in the room if you're doing an interview with him.

The Other Guys was definitely the funniest movie I saw in the past year. It's really good. I'm surprised it got recognized, though, since everyone seemed to forget about it right after it came out.
