Agreed.  I really think that transformation is the sole false note in the entire series and it's doubly sad that this is note we go out on.

I thought the show handled this pretty well.  The group was mostly resistant at first, but then they have the mid-season episode when she crashes the care and decides she doesn't want to hang out with them anymore and returns to Millie and the mathletes.  The freaks find that they miss her and she rejoins them.  After…

Some days O'Neal's newswire posts don't come easy.  Some days O'Neal's newswire posts don't come hard.  Some days O'Neal's newswire posts don't come at all and THOSE ARE THE DAYS THAT NEVER END!

They'd keep stopping in the middle of the fight to harmonize.

Even better. 

Falcon's Crest?

And better than most shows.  I think it's due for the TV Club Classic Just Got Home Drunk and Didn't Feel Like Going to Bed Yet treatment. 

"Many great sitcoms had problematic first seasons," says Todd over and over to himself like the Mentat mantra in Dune.

I really wish the AV Club would cover the entire series of Blakes 7.  It seems about as likely as a Region 1 DVD release, but a guy can dream.   

Results of the movie's DNA test will be revealed on "Maury."

Judging by the screencap, I think we should be asking ourselves just how much this movie has to do with the TV series Andromeda instead of Alien.

So you're saying there might be a Predator in this.

You've most likely made the right decision.  I remember reading a review of their box set that basically said the hits were great but they didn't have much other good material in their catalog—you know, the kind of stuff that would warrant the existence of a box set of an artist's work.

The oft-derided ones are those that take place in a future where rock n roll has been outlawed. 

I loved The Wall as a teenager and I still have some lingering fondness for it, but one thing that sticks out on recent listens is the sense that Roger Waters seems to think that WWII took place for the sole purpose of fucking up his childhood. 

HBO doesn't do cheap DVDs.

I always felt bad for Johnny.  I mean, the character sucked, but you just knew they were going to kill him off.  It felt as pre-ordained as something out of Sophocles.  You just wanted to yell, "Stay away from that crazy bitch!  She's going to get you killed!"

The S4 earthquake episode (penultimate one?) was pretty solid as well.  The stakes seemed higher than usual because you knew the end was right around the corner.

But her hair was oh-so shiny.

Once this is done, GLAAD can protest Pink Floyd's first single because it declared that Arnold Layne's hobby was "strange."
