Yes cover plz.

I'm guessing you haven't read his blog.  This review sounds about right, it's the source of some of the most content-free cultural analysis around.

I like identifying them by irrelevant colors, like focaccia and crepe.

Are you the originator of the phrase "give good harpy"?  I'm too lazy to see if it's been done before.

Don't worry, I'm sure they'll soon abandon the colloidal silver plot in favor of something about midichlorians.

How about the fact that 30 Rock's "strong central relationship" hasn't evolved at all in years (nor has its characters)?

But how will she get her revenge?  Lawsuit!  She'll be the source of the sexual harassment suit that will get Deb busted down and put Batista in charge.  (Seriously, though, who dates their own intern?)

You fools!  You misspelled the name of the show!!::

Wow, I'm happy to see at least a couple of other fans of both shows missed this one.  I mistook it for general multiverse geekery, and red-team blue-team are standard wargame colors.

You'll warm to him. He's probably the most annoying character I've ever liked.

Revenge dramas aren't (always) action movies. See Mystic River, Sleepers, Hamlet (in no particular order).

What about Dogma?

Seriously, when I posted that comment it said "strum und drang". I'm happy it was a typo.

Strum und drang?
God, please tell me that's a typo and not a crappy pun, or worse a real term.

The spoonerism is a callback (callforward? when do titles happen? they're kinda outside of time…) to "occifer"

Yeesh, good luck trying to get that square peg into a round hole. You should have let Jason Heller or Amanda Petrusich handle this review.

Yeah, at some point this show is just going to turn into him following people around. Maybe then they'll make it into a movie.

Very repetitive
It would have been better if they had added in Roguelike random level generation or something like that, so that single player would have been a bit less of a grind. But 6 levels, over and over again, and lots of waiting in the XBL multiplayer queue? It's really cruel.
