I took it as partly an Arrested Development reference ("the jury's still out on…science").  It's funny because it oversimplifies an array of complex interrelated fields into a single vague idea (which is how a lot of people seem to view "science").

ooh and the food from the Lost Boys' feast in Hook!  It was so colorful!

@TashaRobinson:disqus, are you sure you've had the real-deal Turkish delight?  Because I thought I had (I'd only tried the Liberty Orchards version), until a friend bought me some from a Turkish restaurant for the holidays, and it tasted nothing like Liberty Orchard's fruity hard candies. It had a marshmallowy texture…

I do agree that the film didn't take a clear stance on the issue (and that it's a problem if they altered facts and then presented it as completely factually accurate), but I wanted to point out a scene I haven't seen anyone mention, in which the film clearly shows torture NOT working: when they're trying to obtain…

That definitely should have bothered me more than it did.  For some reason though, as soon as that storyline started to unfold, I immediately construed it as Annie enjoying the fantasy of being a "Mrs." anyone, no matter the last name, which was borne out by her talk of daydreaming about other people, not just Jeff. …

I loved that the hotel staff all fell in love with Annie (what was the line—"we all think you're sweet"?), and the waiter was ready with glasses of water for Annie to toss in Jeff/Nigel's face.

And the characters felt like they'd returned to normal, by which I mean they'd returned to growing in the ways they started last season—making allowances for each other's issues (Troy, Abed, and Britta), acknowledging their own foibles without turning them into huge crises (Jeff and Annie).  Even Shirley had a shining…

I think all we needed (speaking for the people who enjoyed this episode) was a good dose of low expectations to get back to a state of normalcy.  Community has always and will always thrive as an oddball underdog.  But it also needs to reinvent itself pretty much constantly, and I hope the tendency toward new settings…

That… was by far my favorite episode of the season so far.

I know I'm really late to the party here, but I just had to ask—did anyone else hear Amy's statement that she's willing to chauffeur Sheldon around town as "I'm willing to show fur"?

Shirley, don't Pierce.

Aggh, great point @avclub-6c19aa55551d9b063baa279584305116:disqus.  Way to screw everything up again, August.

I read your comment and just flashed to another, much better child actor yelling the same line (in "Almost Famous," when Patrick Fugit's younger self learns his real age).

I just read the AV Club's feature on characters who only have "one rule," so I thought it was hilarious when Napier said the party only had "one rule": "My house, my rules."  Cut to his wife a minute later saying there's only "one rule": "No means no."  I give the writers credit for making an intentional ironic…

Totally agree with @avclub-9f3362679d786df531bab7953d7ab610:disqus and @avclub-91d5814732e7c06316f65dc69f37d548:disqus : Todd is effective because of his politeness and diligence, and he's an echo of Gus in that way.  But Jesse Plemons also brings another layer to the character; that scene where Walter is teaching him…

When I wanted to get into Justified, after watching the first few episodes on a library DVD that started skipping (of course), I just gave in and bought the first season.  Then the second.  Totally worth it, @avclub-bf3eb25e65e1f87dab76829f15a0907a:disqus.  Then you can loan it out to all your friends and family and…

Yeah Cruise is chilling as a bad guy in Collateral.  His disturbing intensity is used to good purpose there.  Plus, he is way more attractive as a silver fox.

Anyone here see that Nia Vardalos movie Connie and Carla?  Every time I see Hersh I expect him to start singing "Mame" in a Russian accent. I love the casting choice just for that reason.

ah thanks!

Oh dear.  I thought Troy and Abed's couples costume was Tigger and Winnie the Pooh (sort of an abstract Winnie the Pooh).
