Your pain runs deep. Let us explore it …together. Each man hides a secret pain. It must be exposed and reckoned with. It must be dragged from the darkness and forced into the light. Share your pain… Share your pain with me and gain strength from it.

I think being Lt. Jr grade on the Enterprise D sounds better than a vast majority of actual jobs available today. That said, for Picard to have experienced his original life, including becoming captain, I can see why he could never be satisfied as a minor science officer on the Enterprise.

Everyone knows the best game is throwing a stick through a rolling hula hoop.

It feels like a bit of a disjointed 2-parter. I guess they wanted it in 2 parts so they could spend much of the first episode on the DS9 interaction, saving Worf's Klingon ordeal for the second part.

Wouldn't Peter Parker have to become radioactive and bite the spider for that to happen? That's what science tells me, anyway

Are other wizarding schools separated into houses? I know a lot of fellow Americans who would claim to be Gryffindor/Ravenclaw/Slytherin, but that's not really true unless they're getting into some kind of international program.

I like to play D and D tighter

Well, at least there's Cedric Diggory, who seems to embody that positive Hufflepuff spirit pretty well. It might have also helped if the house had a less silly name.

Quidditch
I never thought Quidditch made much sense even in the books, and I was glad that they stopped really talking about it by the fourth book (along with the competition for points among the houses, which would have been a bit more interesting if another house won at some point).

I never understood that shit either. You clap at plays and concerts because there are actual performers there and you can let them know how much you appreciated your performance. Are people going to start yelling "Encore!" at movies too?

Agreed on the determinism. I know plenty of Slytherin defenders who make good points about how being in Slytherin doesn't mean you're EVIL, just cunning and ambitious. It's a good point, but sadly not often backed up by the books themselves. I remember being bothered from the beginning with the first book's assertion…

Felt Pelt, will you marry me?

Counterpoint: Both Fallout Boy AND Bush are bad. Not offensively bad (like the Black Eyed Peas), but still bad. I have no defense for this other than personal preference.

I like his song about what life as a bee is like

Thanks Heisler, that exact verse is the first thing I thought of when I saw this article. Maybe the song has charm if you can get past those rhymes, but I can't. I can't hear the song without commenting on that rhyme in some way.
