"Grab that little hoe"
"I don't think that's what she meant… is it?"

Best subtle gag of the episode: South Park's supermarket completely selling out of sugary cereals and milk, followed by all the parents in their pajamas on the couch to watch Wacky Races. It's also possible to see this episode as a farewell to the Saturday morning cartoon blocks that don't exist anymore.

*but going to a college based on a boy you met once is just insane*

Phil's constant runner of resentment towards scientists (and the monkey wearing a diaper) was the best part. It escalated so gradually ("sometimes they electrify the cheese") that by the end you're wondering just what the hell those experiments did to him.

Haley gets the best non-speaking gag of the episode: Phil says "We're a family of posion-eaters, firestarters and online prostitutes" she opens her mouth to object then rapidly realizes she can't.

Final Fantasy XV: My Gap Year Road Trip

Starring Victoria Justice as their plucky office assistant?

"…he-man women-hating Game Of Thrones has done in season five…"

"Back in those long-ago days of 2005, he [Sepinwall] was almost alone in doing episodic takes on a relatively wide range of current shows…."

Does he name-drop obscure Czech filmmakers while throwing massive hate on Tarantino?

Good-Try-Better-Luck-Next-Time Award goes to Matt Zoller Seitz, film reviewer for New York Magazine who wrote and directed the feature film "Home" in 2005. He's now EIC of Ebert's website, so I think he rebounded OK.

I was rewatching and thinking the same thing, Gillian Jacobs definitely looks at the camera for a moment. She must have figured there was no way that take would be used?

SHADOW OF ISRAPHEL: The Movie

"For the nonviolent person, the whole world is one family. He will fear none, nor will others fear him." — Ghandi

You mean The Bandit without Smokey, right? You know which one was which?

Yeah, it's "The Perils of Punky" and it scared the hell out of me.

The Borgen title is probably a take-off on the original Swedish title of "The Girl With A Dragon Tattoo", which was "Men Who Hate Women".

"I think he’ll go into teacher."

Re: Stark, I can't re-watch the episode right now (at work), but I think the implication behind all his posing insanity is that just as the audience could reasonably assume Stark is some kind of pawn of Scorpius' planted in order to trick Crichton into revealing secrets, Stark is assuming the same thing of Crichton.

Between the nurse costume joke and the Tooth Fairy joke, does Haley have a side job as a strip-o-gram or something?
