It was an uneven episode, no question, and what it was trying to say about the characters (particularly Sabrina) was distinctly awkward.

Welcome. Good name.

How much do they pay Saul? And Hank's bills? And all the other things to keep them out of suspicion?

Good article.

I loved the Cougarton Abbey bit (except, as others have stated, for the font and the too stereotypical Englishness of it, even as a parody of stereotypes), but thought that the Inspector Spacetime, while a bit funny by itself, didn't really fit with the show. I know they've done low budget parodies before in things…

Gotta get the Waltmobile (the RV) and the Waltcave playset (the lab). Jesse comes in two variants, normal and badly bruised.

It's been a question of compromise, largely. Shirley has actually had the biggest overall arc for the series, making her a strong centre for the show in the back half of series 2, more so than almost any other character (apart from possibly Jeff and Pierce). However, that's actually meant that she's had the fewest…

Quatermass FTW.

I personally thought the last scene of One Minute was the best… until now. Maybe not topped, but definitely rivalled. Christ.

And they realise that actually they're only so-so in the sack?

You people all disgust me. I hope you get run over on the interst8.

How badly beaten will I get if I say that I find Robin Hood: Men In Tights to be possibly his best, and the only one that doesn't take a while to get going? Furthermore, most of the people I know love it but have never heard of most of his others. Maybe it's a British thing. Maybe it's a growing up in the 90s thing.…

20 Tons of TNT, a song by Flanders and Swann. Compared with their usual fare of lighthearted, silly songs, this is a dark, quietly angry song about the stockpiling of WMDs. Check it out.

Okay, so the plot was kind of weak, but the gags in this episode were the strongest they've been since about season 3. "They're flying Manhattan into the sun! They must have been out of piranhas." being my personal favourite, but really there's so many really good gags in this one that I can forgive the poorly thought…

I don't remember knowing it beforehand, except that it all seemed to be going very well for them all. Watching it again, knowing it's all a fantasy… It doesn't lose anything. It actually gains something, because even though it's not really happening it is such a beautiful exploration of Angel's character and desires…

Wanna cry?
Goodnight, Mister Tom. It's not the sad parts that'll have you in tears, it's the happy parts. Those last two lines will break anyone.

I loved this episode, and I think that means I'm going to hell.

Calling it a mess is being pretty generous, this episode had no idea what the story was. Is it Bender going into witness protection? Is it Fry losing his friend? Is it Zoidberg feeling underappreciated? Is it Clamps undertaking a difficult mission? It dotted between these without really being any of them. And I was…

New characters
There is a very simple trick Aaron Sorkin uses to get a new character to be liked: Have them correct someone. In the first episode Toby corrects someone (Rodgers and Hammerstein), in Ainsley's first episode she corrects Sam, and you can see it in Studio 60 and The Social Network too. One character…

A perfect parody of The Honeymooners!
