That goes without saying.  You're Section 31.

"It makes people think I'm clever… or an acute sociopath."

Gotta love Justin as Byron Hadley in The Shawshank Redemption.  If anyone was born to say the words "You'll look real cute sucking my dick without teeth" he was.

Well Ben is a very flawed hero - surly, muddleheaded, and his superpower has some serious drawbacks.  Brother Justin is a well-intentioned kind of villain, which is to say maybe the most dangerous kind.  The show makes you keep guessing with both of them.

Well done!

Yeah, I was having tech problems last week so it wasn't until tonight that I realized TVW was recapping the show.  Glad it's getting some attention now.

Understandably, you don't mention Animal.  Of course his ego and Chuck's couldn't fit in the same airplane hangar.

Oh, and let's all raise a toast to Park and her 30 fratboys.

It was a worthwhile episode.  I found it a little strange that Mrs Asexual had never thought to have her husband diagnosed for a medical problem before, but I didn't really think about it until after I was done watching.

That said, Smith is my favorite among the NuWho Doctors.  Helps that he doesn't have to go all moony over Rose the way the other two did.

I wonder what Chris will do about the Mary Tamm Romana stories, since they're all part of one maxi-plot.  "Stones of Blood" and "Androids of Tara" are both standouts, though. 

I'd say so, yes.  The Doctor knows that Turlough is up to know good, but sees him as redeemable, and wants to be part of his redemption.

He was also Hill House's cranky old caretaker in The Haunting.

Nicola Bryant's American accent was pretty laughable.  It makes things awkward in "The Twin Dilemma" when the Doctor is supposed to be correcting her Yankisms into British procunciation.  Rockin' tits though.

I'm not in that much of a hurry to get back to Chris Carter Land.  For a number of reasons the LA-shot seasons of the X-Files don't appeal as much to me, and Millennium's 3rd season is something of a letdown even though there were a handful of great episodes ("Saturn Dreaming of Mercury" is worth repeated viewings.) …

If you go to a movie based in a shopping mall you can very easily get this kind of experience.  If it's a nine pm show, or if it's on Sunday night, you come out of the movie theatre and all the stores are locked up and dark.  Aside from having to look around for an exit that isn't alarmed, there's this weird sense of…

Very true, especially when you take into account the fact that she has an identifiable personality when she's walking around, and she has memories - mostly implied - that would back up her sense of being a real person.

The most important step for any propagandist is to find an audience that wants to be lied to.

There's a conceptual weakness, in that in order for Lisa's Springfield-based Facebook equivalent to take off you have to pretend the real thing doesn't exist.  A lot of the jokes were still funny, but that made the story harder to swallow.

That was one of my disappointments for the night too.  That the writers took the malicious and basically discredited Nancy Grace line on the Anthony trial.  Especially since the defendant in this case is already getting death threats.  Hoping to inspire a few more, SNL?
