Here's a question for you all
The Onion has some relationship with Slate.com, which is evidenced by the links that they put on their site to Onion articles. But Slate has recently started a new feature they are calling . . . The TV Club!

Yeah, we got some Lost coming up, and a little bit of Battlestar Galactica, right?

As a side note
I got the feeling that the guy in the chair was waiting for the show's director to tell him when to answer. So, I'm not sure that he was just sitting there squirming all on his own, but rather the show intentionally delayed allowing them to answer in order to build suspense.

Banal
The show was banal. Reality television which has always been based on humiliation has finally reached it's pinnacle—now they are simply offering money for greater degrees of embarrassment.

Strange
This doesn't affect me in any significant way. I didn't know Mr. Ledger, and I wasn't a huge fan of his work. But I'm still a bit bummed out by this news.

Keanu as Klaatu
That is frigging perfect! It's the nexus of parody and sincerity. Awesome

no, no, no. you've all missed the point. What he's saying is

Yep.

Having watched it.
Having now watched the movie, I feel justified in registering a few complaints.

From the producers of . . .
When applied to a sequel, "From the producers of" usually means, "Well, we couldn't get the stars of the first one, and we couldn't ge the director of the first one, but we still felt like we could make some money off a 90 minute crapfest, so here's hoping you're stupid enough to watch this…

pederasts are people who have sex with little boys. "pedophile" does not indicate the sex of the child that you want to have sex with. Aren't you glad that the English language is such a rich and bountiful tongue?

What?
Ellen Page is a tiny, tiny girl. She would get destroyed in rollerderby. What a way to waste all that good will she's built up from Juno—she just dives right into some crapfest with Drew Barrymore. ugh.

The Eqyptian Guy
The egyptian guy was very, very Borat. I was wondering if it was faked.

Craziness
Let's say that you're in highs school. Let's say that you and your mom are being chased by time travelling robots from the future. And let's say that one of the robots has been reprogrammed to defend you. And let's say that reprogrammed robot looks like a hot twentysomething.

TMU
So, i'm assuming TMU stands for Texas Methodist University which makes it a nice play off Southern Methodist. That makes some sense because SMU had a good football program back in the mid-80's that would have drawn the athletes in the book that this whole series is based on. ANYWAY, SMU is located in Dallas,…

great episode
I loved the end with the spontaneous Midnight Train to Georgia. The rest of the show was very good, but the singing put it way over the top. Laughed my ass off.

Chad/Titan
Chad, aka Titan, had the one memorable line from the first night—"Titan is always ready for fightin'."

Bordain sucks.
Sorry, but this guy grates on me. I watched some of his shows 5-6 years ago, and I even tried to read some of his ultra-crappy fiction. Can't stand seeing him around any more.

Wrong!
Nathan, much respect, but you're just wrong about this one. The problem is that you are determined to see ideas, depth, and connections to greek tragedy where there isn't any. Having daddy issues doesn't mean that a movie is about "the sins of the father." Being slow and boring doesn't make the movie an "art…

IZ, you're lucky, because it is also on tonight in it's regular timeslot. Last night was just the premiere, but it wasn't anything special—effectively just 2 episodes back to back.
