Just a guess, but my understanding is that any time you show an adoption in a negative light (whether for comic or horror purposes), you get a lot of angry letters from people and organizations afraid that you're scaring people away from adopting decent kids who genuinely need homes. So it's pretty possible that the…

I thought it was Lorne Michaels.

Looked like bunk beds plus a tiny dreamatorium in the curtained-off bedroom, which means Troy and Abed living there. Annie in her room, and they removed the tape grid from the old dreamatorium, which suggests (to me, anyway) that Britta was moving into there.

I mentioned this above, but I failed to make the Jason Bateman connection: Bob Newhart had a brief cameo at the end of last year's "Horrible Bosses."

"Norman Borden, the Mormon doorman."

He had a cameo at the end of "Horrible Bosses" last year.

It should just be someone from Boston.

"Failed to give California any comeuppance," exactly. It's like the writers think Robert California is some kind of beloved character who deserves his own happy ending or something. I'd rather see him get screwed in the end, a la Todd Packer.

Andy's another character, like Erin or Kevin, whose intelligence seems to fluctuate a lot from episode to episode. He works best when he's presented as kind of a normal straight man—I liked the idea that he had a reasonably healthy relationship with someone outside the office for a while, and wished we could have seen…

"Why do any of these people still work for Dunder Mifflin?" Stockholm syndrome?

"You have to let it run for a while" sounds like the problem is actually with the pipes (rust, most likely), and not the water quality itself.

Look at that picture. Did they ever do one where Ben Stiller plays Mr. Peepers' brother?

If that thing didn't end with "seven," I swear I was gonna go nuts.

Three words: Fin. Fang. Foom.

I love Sigourney Weaver, but it would have been interesting if they'd cast Jamie Lee Curtis instead.

I thought the wolf might bite her face off, too. That was so well-timed—it was early enough in the movie that you were still totally guessing, and you had no idea what the filmmakers were willing to do for a shock at that point.

Yeah, I thought of "Home" and maybe some other X-Files stuff in there too. I think it's probably a mistake to look too closely for exact approximations of most of the monsters from mainstream movies and TV; aside from the few obvious analogues (Evil Dead, Hellraiser, The Shining), they worked really well as a…

They kind of did, though. I saw that as a direct commentary on the conflicted feeling you get watching a regular horror movie—on one hand, even if the characters are poorly-drawn, you still care on some level and don't want to see innocent teens get slaughtered, but on the other hand most of the fun comes from OH YEAH…
