I like you, Mr. McGimmick—as DPA points out, really bad comedy can be funny in itself. I don't get the hate, I really don't. Hell, I laughed at the ICE MAN riff above.

I imagine this is what you'd get…
…if you asked a bright eight-year-old to write a script incorporating a critique of capitalism, Gnostic Christianity, a Holocaust/colonization allegory and musings on Kurzweil's singularity. Just a jaw-droppingly awful movie, offensive in its simple-mindedness, and the 3D was lame.

Proof that line reading is all, from "Whoever Did This": "I did-dint!"

I wish I could muster up the courage to tell DPA how much I love him…

Sure it's defensible—philosophically and psychologically, TMP is the most complex and—

No one expects a guy named fastandsloppy to get his spelling right.

I love it when the ghost of Col. Potter tells Dexter that his plans to kill someone is "horse pucky."

Joan Collins did a Space: 1999 guest shot.

TMP remains the best of the Trek films, followed closely by TWoK with last year's pseudo-reboot a distant third. No, I won't defend this assertion. It's jsut how it is.

Chase originally wanted a different song every week, as with the end credits, but was overruled by HBO (and he says they were right to do so).

@anyaroses: I agree. For Sil, it was business and strippers can be very difficult to control. Sil man-handling Tracee didn'yt bother me nearly as much as Ralph laughing at it.

Screen goes black = the cable is out!

The show Christopher was discussing with JT Dolan was CBS's attempt at an anti-Sopranos, "That's Life," a cloying, awful drama about a nice, wholesome Italian-American family.

Ariel Kiley was perfect as Tracee. And those tits? Madon'!

I always thought that Noah's father ordered him to dump Madow and so he dumped her—surely, that guy want his son dating a mob princess and he knows full well what "environmental clean-up" means. This set up a subtle dichotomy: Meadow was strong enough to defy her mob boss father, Noah was too weak to stand up to his…

Canceled subscriptions? Interesting
Joey Pants tells another story, of his disgust at how exciting women found the scene, coming up to him and flirting with him.

Stripper music on this show is seldom realistic
And that's a good thing, since stripper music is often god-awful. And I should know; I've spent so much time in strip clubs I landed myself a stripper girlfriend.

So wait—Rachel Mencken married an unpopular James Bond who spits when he talks? Is this the singularity the cyber-futurists have predicted?

Klingons were originally swarthy Mongolian/Arab types (though a strong argument can be made that, in Space Western style, they were alos evocative of Mexicans). Michael Dorn was the first black actor to play a major Klingon.

Correction: It's used to lube her up before the rappin'.
