Pop Culture Dream
Just this week, I had a fever-induced dream abruptly turn into an episode of Pushing Daisies, including the "The facts were these…" third act reveal. Curiously, Ellen Muth was there instead of the Piemaker. which I attribute to garden-variety dream compression.

SAVE THAT DOG!
Rereading this article after finally seeing this movie, I am absolutely stunned by how concise Nathan's writing used to be.

An animated short featuring Milton played on SNL. It was the prototype for the stapler scene.

I'm actively alarmed that Sybil's boyfriend might cause cancer without her knowing it.

I think Yummsh nailed it.

The Internet would like to inform the A.V. Club that Dinosaurs is awesome. It's slightly less awesome than Willow, but still pretty kicking. Thank you.

Word up, Friar. Setting aside that she's acting against character, it doesn't even make sense within the context of THIS PARTICULAR EPISODE. This show is bad enough with character's flimsy motives, but they usually change between episodes, not during.

Steve, I'd really appreciate it if you did some serious public hating.

I've noticed the majority of next generation games to feature downer or "screwjob" endings.

Along the Bad Santa spectrum…
The Ice Harvest. Billy Bob Thorton and John Cusack in a dark, midwest noir.

If we had the AVClub in 1990, ZMF would be Hard Harry.

"I'm being awesome!"
The reveal of Ando's super-sidekick ability is the only thing I like about this season. I remember when people began to suspect that Ando actually made Hiro's power work better.

Heroes and Lost deserve our pity.

Lizard-Spock expansion
This being the first I've heard of RPSLS, I plotted out the five elements to make sure they work, and rather thoughtlessly drew a pentagram. So I'm damned to Hell. THEN I read the avclub and find out that Noel did it for me. So it was all for nothing.

Ryan's costume
doubled as Lumbergh.

Casey's price gun
IS AN ACTUAL GUN.

They went thataway!
The last news item with the camel and the pony made me lose my shit.

Incredible Hulk
Incredible Hulk was awesome. Its biggest flaw is coming out the same year Iron Man did. It's far more engaging than the… other one.
