Hollander's translation has some great poetry, and the notes are unsurpassed.

I had a feeling Todd might go for T S Eliot. It's just so… Todd.
Belle & Sebastian played from the other end of a ten-foot pipe stuffed with dead leaves is still better than just about any other music out there.
I still can't forgive the Oscars for not even nominating The Master for Best Picture when there was still one spot open. Jerks.
Was anyone else reminded of "Up"?
Maggie's hand gestures during that musical interlude are so adorable.
While it has a few rivals, I would have to say that is probably the strangest half-hour of The Twilight Zone.
We should have an AV Club contest to try and come up with a better ending to this episode than the one it was given.
"Dean Bitterman, I hope nothing unsavory happens during my visit. As you know, I am the president of the United States!"
This song is insidiously catchy. I was humming the words "Death to everyone but us" for half an hour after I first heard it.
"Man, did they move paper!"
I was saying "Boo-urns"
Maybe Season 6 is more consistently good than I'm thinking. While there are a number of all-time classics ("Homer the Great," "A Star is Burns," "Bart vs. Australia," "Who Shot Mr. Burns? part 1"), it always seemed like a step down after the pure, unsullied radiance that was Seasons 4 & 5.
I wonder how many episodes we will get into Season Six before it's no longer a good one.
My favorites tend to be the insanely weird ones:
The one where the woman is being chased by a woman who looks a lot like her? Sort of a fifth-season throwback to the first season's "Mirror Image." It's called "Spur of the Moment," and it's horrifying.
That is probably my favorite "Twilight Zone."
I love that episode. It's so deliciously "Fringe"-y.
What's wrong with Andy?
Also of note: Mr. Burns' shocked response.
