I didn't know that about Fischer. They could try and get Krasinski to make a few limited appearences and put him in a new job, while keeping Fischer around. Maybe NBC will just offer them all a ton of money to keep the show going. It's not like NBC has much else going for them.

Thanks. I was watching the music video Kiss and saw the face he makes after he hears a deep voiced woman. I knew then that I needed to scoop this one up. Thought very briefly about becoming a gimmick commenter, but I really don't know that much about Prince (should he be ultra-sexualized 80s Prince, or arthritic…

I'd guess Krasisnski and Fischer are out at the end of the season. Helms will probably stay since he's the star now. With Kaling more or less likely gone, and Wilson leaving mid-season that'll leave B.J. Novak as the last one standing from the original five main cast members (whose existence on the show has seemed…

I think the show was excellent through season five (with some hiccups here and there). I was optimistic about this season given that the remaining cast is, on paper, quite strong, but nothing really seems to have clicked. It'll probably get a zombie renewal for one more season with a third of the cast gone and then…

It's already producing a nice buzz among my circle of largely underemployed mid-to-late twenties male friends so it definitely has an audience. Probably not a huge one, but I might see it out of curiousity.

This is for The Mogul: does this make Tywin Lannister a more succesful Dick Cheney, or is it the other way around?

Kenneth Pinyan approves.

Replace the rules with those of Calvinball, i.e. no rules.

What's wrong with a South Parkian Gooback?

I often have to seperate my love for the first three (only? well, in my mind….) Trek series and my near total antipathy for their politics. I can generally get past a lot (after all, I'd wager at least 80 percent plus TV shows have followed a liberal path) of what they offer to get to the real story, the same way I…

Wow, I hope not. Among the greatest of the gimmicks (no Cookie Monster or Frakes, but quite good).

Where's the Hulk Hogan gimmick commentator when you need him?

Let's not forget being able to work more days than there are in a year because of his crossing the international dateline.

From what I've seen, only Community, great be it's name, has ever generally been in the thousands per episode. Maybe DS9 won't beat it, but for a show that ended in 1999 this is pretty good.

Looks Ezri. Character, Jadzia. She had six seasons after all.

You remind me of my shameful need to delve deeper into Russia's greatest writer (yeah, suck it Tolstoy). Need to get around to reading The Possessed one of these days.

The main cast is as strong as anything seen in a Trek series. Not a huge fan of the "O'brien must suffer" plots and some of the Flanderization of Worf, but it's a good crew.

It's odd for me. Bashir was probably my favorite character when I started watching the show (granted being a socially awkward white Anglophile teenage nerd didn't hurt) but I didn't realize he was Anglo-Arab until the relative end of the series. No idea why, as I'd seen black people with English accents before, as…

Outside of the MST3K mantra that one of the others mentioned further down, I just assume that gravity is placed with life support and that it only fails when life support does. Clearly not a perfect rationalization but it works for me.

I respect your choice, of course, but I really enjoyed your grades the last time around. Still, it's your own massive undertaking, spending years revisiting some of the greatest and worst science fiction ever to air on television. For that effort I have nothing but praise.
