The full version of "Something in the Air" from Hours has always been an under-appreciated classic to me. The final minute or so where it goes haywire gives me chills every time.

This is the first song I thought about when I saw the headline. I was in a bad place in 2002 when it was released on a bonus disc with "Heathen," and it was scary how much I related to the narrator. (I even had an older downstairs neighbour who tried to be a friend to me.) Beautiful, beautiful song.

Cooper is wandering awfully close to Jeremy Saulnier's territory.

Truthfully, I agree and imagine that's the way they'll go. My suggestion was a total knee-jerk, no-scheduling-conflicts fantasy casting type of thing, especially PFT as one of the Mads. Just look at him in the Superego photos! The man was born to wear a lab coat and scowl into a camera.

Scott Aukerman as the host, Paul F. Tompkins as the Mad. I am dead serious.

These are the days, people! These are the party daaaaaays!

Maybe it's taking so long because he's writing it with a pen AND an electric typewriter. Buy a laptop, Elvis!

I got a sneak peek at an early draft of Costello's book:

That could be true. Choosing someone with a well-defined comedic voice — yet not necessarily a well-defined political or ideological voice — would let the show develop a different character (while still commenting satirically on news and current events, of course).

PFT is the first person I thought of when I heard about Stewart leaving the show, and I love the idea so much that I'm going to be disillusioned if (when) they go with somebody else.

Hey Clara Oswald, don't be askin' why/
Don't you know you can't mess with the Earth and its tides

Don't be crude.

The exchange comparing Amsterdam to a trout farm for priests, culminating in the image of the Pope peering in the prostitutes' windows and damning them to hell, was the part that slayed me. The whole episode is one of the funniest things I've ever heard (placing it in iBrain territory, IMO), but that particular image…

I'm Cherokee Fetich!

This will be a home run!

I initially thought the same thing, but even if she gets herself to a hospital, she needs to tell the doctors what poison she was given. It isn't an easily accessible poison and it attracts the attention of the police when someone shows up at a hospital yelling about ricin poisioning. (See: Jesse getting questioned…

Yeah, I was rushing down to the comments to suggest "This Must Be the Place" too. It's a beautiful song and fills me with the sweetest melancholy every time I listen to it.

Jack Taylor's got a GREAT place!

I'm eight episodes away from finishing Season 5 for the first time and Charles Logan is one of the most enjoyable parts of a generally enjoyable season. The Futurama version of Richard Nixon is awesome in the role.
