Fair point. His hair *was* graying by season 3 though.

To be fair, he was looking pretty haggard at the end of BSG's run as well.

The "POP POP" was made even better because up to that point it seemed like they were going out of their way NOT to call back to recurring gags. Have we ever seen the Dean in normal clothes for this long of a stretch?

And we've already had an episode where he didn't appear, so he'll be in every episode except for one more this season, which excites me.

I haven't seen it since it originally aired but it's the only episode of S4 that I can remember enjoying, more so than any other ep that season.

Last season when Jeff graduated Pierce just kind of walked up and said "Yeah, me too. I'm outta here." Or something to that effect. I don't know. There was a gas leak.

Then why read them?

"I've seen human heads used for things other than heads!"

They Britta'd it.

So is it time to cover arguably the greatest season of sc-fi TV yet?

Over/under on when Gallifrey shows up? 4 more seasons? This episode was fun but frustrating. It was a great showcase for Matt Smith but there was a stifling lack of plot. And Clara's delightful, but kind of pointless. Can Moffat just go already?

Man, I love America.

Age of Adz and its tour were fucking brilliant. All Delighted People was a wonderful eulogy for the 50 States Project/his "indie-folk" sound. I will warmly embrace our new Soofeyahn overlords, because that dude hasn't made a bad record yet (BQE notwithstanding).

That would be cool. After a handful of world-building episodes a jolt into an overarching plot line would definitely heighten my interest. At this point I'm only watching this show because of Michael Ealy, the vain hope that Lili Taylor will get something to do, and Sleepy Hollow's hiatus.

It would be interesting to see if the casual destruction of MXes all the time leads into something.

They don't have anything on Shat Shit or Nightmare Boyzzz.

Futurecop! and Keep Shelly In Athens are legitimately good bands, though.

I thought for sure it was a double nut shot.

Good lord, this show is more jumbled to shit than Babylon 5: Crusade.

WHERE'S WALLACE, RICK?!
