I loved that episode mostly because Evil Superman robbed an armored car while uttering the following dialogue:
 
"Excuse me, citizens, but I think your gold needs more mining."
 
[Citizens] "Guh?"
 
"I'm going to make it mine!"  [flies away with car]
 
It was the taunting that made it such a great moment.

It felt like the pacing was way off in this episode.  The Glaive plotline was set up to be this big thing, but it took Bo a minute or two to expose the Glaive's treachery, and another 30 seconds or so to defeat her and her minions, so this plotline was just over halfway through.

I love that book, and the idea of a movie about Flashman living out (excuse me, inspiring) the plot of The Prisoner of Zenda is hilarious.   I don't envy Alan Bates playing a character inspired by Douglas Fairbanks' performance, but now I have to see it.

I'm not qualified to compare B5 and DS9, but FWIW, Ron Moore is a total fan of military history and movies.   If you listen to his commentaries for BSG, it's about 30% of his whole personality.

Whatever happened to the Beastie Boy's giant inflatable Jimmy, and is there any chance of starting a museum around giant stage props?

There's a great scene in the Dan Ackroyd flop Nothing but Trouble where Humpty Hump and Shock G both perform.   (See, Digital Underground was passing through town, and corrupt judge Ackroyd sentences them to rap, or something).   Basically, whenever Shock G reaches the back of the stage, he either puts on or takes off…

Jack London had an awesome unfinished story, The Assassination Bureau, about a shadowy organization that kills bad people until one of the protagonists hires a contract on the company's founder.   The founder, finally convinced that murdering bad people is itself bad, but basically more bored and ready for a change,…

I was sort of hoping that the judges would start harassing the women the same way.   "Don't worry, baby, you can sit on Craig's lap!   Wow, that's some rear — do you do a lot of squats?"
 
Instead, we got a hair joke.

Here's my pitch.   The Most Interesting Man in America fights zombies from his yacht, saving beautiful scantily clad maidens as they present themselves.    It's product placement for Dos Equis, it's ironic, and it's awesome — a triple threat!
 
Now if someone could just get me some financing, a director, and a contact…

Robuttnik, your standard of cool is "must be better than Bruce Lee" (in a Bruce Lee movie, no less)?   You are a tough grader!
