I would second "Below the Salt" as an intro to Steeleye Span. I personally have a soft spot for "Back in Line", which is kind like their White Album, but most other people disagree with me on that.

I suppose it all comes down to what you define as "entertaining". Some people may find balloon hands "entertaining". Some people may find people "comically" falling on each others boobs during a bar fight to be "entertaining". Some people may find wasting Simon Pegg's comedic talents on a wacky alien sidekick who…

Voyager and Enterprise have their problems, but they still look good compared to the JJ Abrams de-imagining.

We've got a truck on fire, can't find the switch to turn the ski lift off, and can't stop the dancing chicken. Send an electrician.

@C.C. Baxter: I thought "Eraserhead" was David Lynch doing "Juno".

German humor tends to center around midgets and camels.

I am an old cowpuncher. I punch them cows real hard
I have me a cowpunching bag set up in my front yard.
This bag is made of leather, and so are cows, of course.
When I get tired of punching cows, I go and punch a horse.

You should do Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, "In the Pale Moonlight". It was a controversial episode because it really amped up the moral ambiguity, which seemed to challenge Roddenberry's utopian vision. However, I would contend that it actually adheres to Roddenberry's vision of a better mankind, but merely forces…

Thank goodness the 90's came along and brought us Ally McBeal to set the record straight.

I admit to having seen Baby Geniuses.

@HipsterDBag: Both Marlon Brando and Leonard Bernstein regretted their involvement in "On the Waterfront" and compensated for it later on by supporting the Black Panthers.

I've seen all of those movies except for Apocalypse Now and Goodfellas. However, I have seen Fitzcarraldo and My Blue Heaven so, in a sense, I HAVE seen the whole list.

I like that interpretation, ThePatronSaintoftheTotallyFucked. The problem is that the planet at the end not only had Earth-like animals, but Earth-like continents. But then the 4.0 Earth had Earth-like constellations, so either way it doesn't work. It makes suspension of disbelief a bit too difficult for my taste. …

@ThePatronSaintoftheTotallyFucked: There is a similarity between the Starbuck stuff and the Cordy stuff, but Angel is supposed to be Shakespearean urban fantasy while BSG is supposed to be naturalistic science fiction. Also, in Angel, you didn't spend the entire series with characters debating whether or not the…

@ Elryan: 1. It's not that I would have preferred a technological Deux Ex Machina to a fantasy one (although I would have), it's that I would have preferred to not waste so much time on those worthless mysteries. I got into BSG for stories about civilization trying to rebuild itself after the apocalypse, not to find…

Season 4.5 was pretty much the writers painting themselves into a corner with all the mysteries that nobody cared about and explaining it away by saying "God did it". The mutiny arc was okay, since it was old-style political drama, but the rest was ugh.

@Dogstyle Afternoon: Have you seen "Armageddon"?

I thought you were supposed to celebrate 4/20 by shooting up your High School.

But with JJ Abrams involved, there will be a scene where a Samurai robot gets balloon hands! And a wacky alien sidekick who wears sunglasses and sits on things! And CGI lens flares on every frame!!!
