"Loud Love" dropped into a couple editions of Headbanger's Ball back in 1989, and as a metal fan who loved Testament just as much as Def Leppard and Motorhead just as much as Rush, I didn't know what to make of this weird, feedback-heavy, stumbling gallop of a song, and so I wrote Soundgarden off as one of those…

Apparently mothers of young children don't feel listened to. But as a person who has always felt like baby talk and Romper Room crap demeans even the children it's ostensibly for, I found the brain of the week to be a slog as well.

They're deeply impoverished in vowels, that's for sure.

Or put another way, fantasy is about celebrating and preserving the traditions and morality of the culture they're written from, and science fiction is about interrogating them.

Not only that, but showing up with the expectation that he can get Gavin to sign away his rights to a next-gen technology for, relatively speaking, a pittance.

I hereby request a correction to this photo caption: Hodgson is either third from the right or the second human from the right. Tom Servo is no mere prop, sir.

I also want to see Radcliffe resurrected, having learned his lesson about simulation vs. reality in the hardest of ways. Partly because I really love John Hannah in the role.

You could do worse than episode 10, "Pops", which has a pretty good case and some nice awkward family moments — including Trixie and Maze's first scene together, which was just delightful.

Lesley-Ann Brandt goes through a wonderful set of facial expressions in the scene where she's pretending to listen to Chloe. She can steal the show just with her body language. And she was just as compelling as the original Naevia on Spartacus even if she didn't get to kick as much ass.

Eureka cast member sighting! Niall Matter — a,k.a. Zane Donovan, Jo Lupo's sarcastic but cut bad-boy boyfriend — played Sage the philandering club owner.

They've been softening up good ol' J-nad lately. I never thought I'd hear him make an open and honest admission that he thinks he and Dan Egan are friends.

Nice to see he's just as adept with a camera as he was last year. But Sam Richardson's expression as he strides purposefully out of the skinhead metal concert, under the aegis of the Nazi flag, is one of those TV moments that will be with me for a long time.

I have never seen a bathtub that color before in my life. Who the hell built Erlich's house?

Nick Tarabay as Cotyar has been a highlight for me too. He's also worth checking out as Ashur the Syrian, a heel whose cleverness and raw survival instinct you can't help but admire in Spartacus. He never finds a back that he isn't quietly measuring for stabbing, but somehow always remains a step or two in front of…

I'm starting to grow fond of the character-narrated "previously on"s, ever since Legends of Tomorrow started letting the more colorful characters (i.e. Mick Rory/Heatwave: https://www.youtube.com/wat… and even the villains (https://www.youtube.com/wat… do them.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, for one.

2005 was 12 years ago, so yes, but also I think you're forgetting that the VW ad for the new Beetle Convertible was the springboard from which that song (not exactly a chart-buster for ELO even back in the day) re-entered the zeitgeist: http://www.slate.com/articl…

MODOK even gets called out by name in "Baby Götterdammerung."

There is still the extremely jarring scene where the still-submerged Heather seizes Bill by the throat and tries to drag her into the puddle, though. That sort of dilutes the "bittersweet unrequited love" and "lonely spacecraft looking to fulfill its function" aspects of their connection. Some of the NuWho episodes…

We covered that last week, buddy.
