I liked him in high school, but I was in high school at the time, so

I would have thought Airplane! could win.

I didn't know the Galifinakis backlash had started already. I guess I probably should have guessed it.

Why can't anyone spell "Barack"? It's not that hard.

Mithril.

They brought in the burglar in 1985. I don't think people who are 25 years old have bedtimes.

Yeah…if the intent was to equate the level of humor in Family Guy to that of MST3K, I'm going to have to call shenanigans.

"Sometimes a single TV episode can exemplify the spirit of its time and the properties that make television a unique medium. A Very Special Episode presents The A.V. Club's survey of TV at its most distinctive."

Concurred, since I prefer Tunnels, Power Out, and Rebellion from that album alone.

Desmond had goddamn better well be in the plot this season. He's my current favorite character, and they already took away my all-time fave (Mr. FREAKING Eko) and almost killed Sayid.

I found it an immature reaction — not the grief, but the placement of blame on Jack. It was Faraday's plan, Jack just went along with it. I guess Faraday's dead (or is he? who knows with this show), so he's not there to get yelled at…but I found myself wanting to punch Sawyer for two hours tonight. And I fear this is
