Yeah, the quality of some of those flares reeks of free Photoshop plug-in. Good joke though.

Yeah, generic commentary about "lemmings" in anything from pop culture to politics always drives me up a wall. Granted, they're definitely out there, but how dismissive is that of opposing opinions?

Truly, chicanerous, and deplorable.

I missed that!

They mentioned something in Revelations about the two star-crossed partners having seven years of battle ahead of them, so maybe they'll try for half-season, seven seasons over? If not, good attempt at building in longevity into the story…

@avclub-6beb5f589a9fd04c21fcd50db3d9c80c:disqus I was bummed when Life was cancelled. I've long been a fan of Damian Lewis, and later on in life I realized his partner was played by Sarah Shahi, whom I thought was smokin' aces then but didn't make the connection when I "discovered" her later.

How do you think a Yoda is born? That sounds disgusting.

Maybe it's because I'm relatively new to Sorkin shows, but compared to the complaints others have, I think that should be the most major quibble.

@HighlyFunctioningTimTebow:disqus  You were looking for an Oxford comma joke, and yet you thought the episode wasn't funny? (I mean, ballbustingly funny? Definitely not. But funny? I thought so… well beyond wry or witty at least.)

@avclub-e129a878f7b0e5aa9ac09e0282f64ea6:disqus Well, if it was true enough for Futurama, it's true enough for me.

Christ, I tend to forget how fast the Internet can be.

You know, I wonder if that's why I'm not so sour on the show—I never really watched Studio 60 or The West Wing, only caught occasional episodes of Sports Night, and tuned out The Social Network because something in my head says 'fuck Jesse Eisenberg' for no apparent good reason and I was more focused on the girl…

Have to agree—people don't talk like that (except maybe Sorkin in his day-to-day conversation), but it's entertaining, and I'm sure people wish they could talk like that.

@avclub-ffc2c137ac50f2b5c98536d558642273:disqus Granted, they sucked, but someone needs to watch the Star Wars prequels.

I'd just be curious to know what I'd have to say.

Pretty sure I've seen that Looney Tune…

AAANNND I'm pretty sure he fucked the Borg Queen. Not 100% on that though.

This somehow sounds so scientific.

Right, that's understood. I'm simply musing that it's possible this was they've taken the opportunity and rebooted and kept most of the original timeline intact, but changed certain elements like Praxis (which I saw but didn't process at the time). It's probably not all that likely that they're thinking so much into…

I don't think the redshirt count was all that different, proportionally speaking. And it's not like we had any connection to any of those characters…
