The vineyards of Ernest and Julio…Satan.

Everlast? Really?
Everlast: Unlikeliest Voice of Reason.

Seraphim also play a major role in the X-Files episode, "All Souls," which should be coming up here on the TV Club in a few weeks. It's got one of the best (and creepiest) cold opens the show ever did.

Pgood, I was originally going to use a picture of Joel, but someone else beat me to it. And now I see that someone's used Tom Servo as well. Clearly, I missed out on the AV Club MST3K Avatar Rush of 2010. Please accept my most humble apologies.

I just started watching Farscape again and what strikes me is how truly awful some of the early episodes were. The show was at its best when it focused on Crais (and later Scorpius) chasing Moya across the universe. They didn't really seem to know what to do with the standalone eps. (Remember the one where Chiana's

At the risk of crossing the nerd streams, I'd point out that the Klingons closely resemble the Mandalorians from Star Wars. In KOTOR II, a Mandalorian quartermaster points out that there's still honor in serving in support roles, just not as much as serving in a frontline combat unit. Therefore it's mostly the old and

I haven't seen this movie in 15 years and I still remember that scene. So hilarious and cold-blooded at the same time.

Apparently George Hamilton's childhood was way more interesting than any movie he was in; they made a movie about it a few years ago:

Simon's been relatively circumspect about exactly who some of these characters are based on, except for the ones based on his old bosses at the Sun: James Whiting, based on John Carroll, and Thomas Klebanow, based on Bill Marimow. Simon hated Marimow so much he also named the pompous and inept commander of the MCU in

Truman, I think that's actually Year Two, which Zero Hour did indeed remove from continuity.

According to the always unimpeachable Wikipedia, Alfred is the only member of Batman's associates he allows to use a firearm:

You're thinking of Melinda Clarke, drdarkeny. I don't think Forbes was ever on CSI. She was a regular on Homicide: Life on the Street for a while, though.

What if I told you the Ellroy book is actually called "Blood's a Rover?" Would you perhaps just maim yourself lightly?

What about Traitor? He wrote the story (though not the screenplay), so that counts, right?

What about Dog of the South? I'd love to see that done by the Coens, or anyone else capable enough.
