"Dammit, why'd I get such a loud pacemaker?"

So hey, when Jack started to sail away, did anyone else think 'BUT WAIT, YOU HAVE A BABY DAUGHTER'?

The 'Mad Pooper' song was beautiful. This show has the best music, and is also the best thing.

Oh okay sorry I didn't realise that was my fault I guess I'll try harder in the future thanks

I like the idea that realising one dream (TGS) perfectly prepared her for realising the next (being a mother). I'm trying to find the best way to word this without making it sound as though work was simply training her to be a mother (which would be a horrible conclusion to draw), but I figure the finale is bound to

'Oh cool I wonder what Liz's kids will be l- OH MY GOD UNEXPECTED TEARS'

All the best Australian horror films are about someone who has been put into a fairly ordinary environment, had their means of escape taken away from them, and is then given time to simmer.

I loved the first two seasons of this, but haven't watched beyond the pilot of season 3 yet. Warwick's smug arrogance rubs me up the wrong way. The main problem with this show, I think, is that nobody behind it seems to realise that the audience actually quite likes Karl Pilkington. It's fun to see him forced to try

Since we're nearing the end and being reflexive: does anyone else ever stop and reflect on how balls-out amazing it is that this show, in its *first season*, had an episode focused on Liz being upset because a co-worker called her a c***?

"Her hair is so thick and black."

She was ironically re-appropriating Tracy's bad past behavior as a commentary on Fitzgerald's dictum that there are no second acts in American life.

Michael - I saw it at an Australian press screening. I stand by my comments.

I have no qualms with telling this particular story. I have huge qualms with the way it's been told though, because The Impossible manages to focus things in a way that makes it look as though white tourists were the only people affected.

I saw this yesterday and thought it was both appalling and offensive. The notion that we can only fully digest a tragedy if it's framed through a white tourist family is extremely problematic. If you went in with no prior knowledge of the disaster you'd think that the Thai locals were all but untouched by the tsunami.

This is the first episode I remember seeing on TV on the night it debuted. It didn't actually debut here in Australia until 1995, which would have made me…7, I guess? I doubt I knew who George Harrison was, let alone Burt Ward, but I do distinctly recall being very, very excited about seeing a brand new episode.

I know it's been a few years now since his death but I still feel like I should burst into tears of mourning every time I see Vonnegut's name.
