Pity David wasn't around in his final moments. A few punches every few minutes might have kept him going indefinitely.

I think they specifically stole their Cold War plot from the 1989 Gene Hackman movie, The Package.

It's you they're looking for.

The armed forces are the least of the problems facing an invasion of Iran — It'd be pretty much like invading Iraq, only with more rugged terrain for insurgents to hide in.

It strikes me as worse coming from his lawyer.

I concur with LanaKane's choices, purely in terms of quality. In terms of trying to follow the plot, such as it is, you might also want to watch the first episode of the season ("This Is War), the two episodes straddling the mid-season break ("Magnum Opus," and "The Akeda"), and the second-to-the-last episode of the

I know from friends in law enforcement that when the FBI decides to intervene in a previously local matter, they basically act like they own the place. It wouldn't be that unbelievable for the FBI to start an investigation into one or more of the weird things going on in town, and their agent to insert himself into

If there's any chance of that, I think it would have to involve some sort of shake up in the writing staff. Goffman might bear responsibility from a management standpoint, but I'm not sure he was to blame creatively.

He should be on a list banning him from going within 100 yards of a TV studio.

I saw Hellbound with a friend in a half-full suburban theater. Near us sat a family with a couple of annoying 12 year old kids who chattered a lot during the opening credits.
They shut up pretty quickly thereafter, and weren't heard from again.

I hadn't when I saw it, but I wasn't especially puzzled.
But I've always been pretty well informed about a range of things in which I lack personal experience.
I am the Internet.

The second was messy, but had the wonderful Hell labyrinth, Leviathan, and Christopher Young's fabulous score. I even liked some elements of the third — I thought Terry Farrell and Doug Bradley actually had a good rapport in their scenes together — but the low budget made the ending look pretty pathetic.

The way I heard it, his his line was to have been the classic Monty Python cop line: "What's all this, then?" — Which John Cleese himself had used all the way back in Silverado.

I'll give him some credit for coming back and apologizing. The business world is full of bosses who just blow up and throw things.

It essentially answers the question: "What would you get if you crossbred Sin City with the 1966 Batman movie?"

With some basic familiarity with Herschell Gordon Lewis' slasher horror work, I'm queasily curious what his "sexploitation" films are like.

23rd Century cosmetic surgery is amazing.

I don't think he would have had to be around Shatner — I'm not sure whether Futurama recorded dialog in an ensemble, but surely he could have literally phoned in his lines if he'd insisted — but I guess there may have been enough rancor (and possible health issues, as Dr. Johnson points out) that he just didn't want

It also doesn't seem inconceivable that there was talk underway about an AvP project long before Briggs got involved.

1) It seems odd to me that Doohan's agent would have refused this role, given that Doohan was probably the "Trekkiest" of the original cast — having been one of the original creators of the Klingon language, among other nerdy contributions to the show.
