@that banquet
I have that dream a lot, too. It means that I'm hungry. Maybe that I make terrible life choices, but usually just that i'm hungry.

@taaliba
He does call him "Tom Riddle" at one point

"I think that the main point of what I'm saying is that, had the Beatles not existed, western music would be in a radically different place. Rap and Hip-hop probably would still have been created (though I can't imagine the production would be like today's) , and obviously Jazz, Classical, and other "intellectual"

I couldn't figure out what is up with Rory either. Is this all a dream, or is Rory just not real?

It's probably not linear. Also, we're skipping around a lot. I'm pretty sure we're not going to see the episode where he really finds out that she's a screamer.

I like to think of it as the hitchhiker's guide solution. :)

Jerry lives in Westchester. Cabs bitch about going to Brooklyn. He would have to call a car service, and on a busy night, most won't go that far upstate.

The fossil record is a coincidence. Earth is the only Hainish world where there were already proto-humanoids. Genly assumes it was just part of the experiment

The scene with Willow, Buffy, and Dawn at Rack's has always been one of my favorite Willow moments. I see her issues with magic as a metaphor for a eating disorder.
When she first starts everyone around her praises her for her control. All the discussion around magic in the early seasons focus on how much discipline

@Nkeel
I agree that that is one of the best sequences in TV history

Firefly connection
I'm not sure if someone mentioned it, but Community is edited by Lisa Lassek, who was also the editor of Firefly :)

Nora = Mother?
Ted hasn't met her yet, but now he could easily meet her through Barney. I don't see her lasting with Barney, but can imagine that dating her would be a learning experience for him. Heck, maybe Barnman and Robin will get back together as a result. Anyone else see this?

@starshine
As a woman who loves Queen and Bowie, I had forgotten Ice, Ice baby even existed before I moved to europe (where bad music comes to retire).

@LloydBraun,

Character names
If Hector was supposed to be Troy,and TV-obsessed Abed clearly designed Lavernica for Shirley, who were the other characters supposed to be?

@bad horse
That's not a retcon. At some point when Picard is listing all the crappy things Q has done he mentions the trial, and Q points out that the jury is still out. It's kind of a snide moment, but it turns out he was telling the truth.

It's hard to find connor attractive when he was just a baby a few weeks ago.

Giles was very much against computers, but Sunnydale did have them. It makes sense as a project for kids, and it was assigned by the computer teacher not Giles. Digitizing information was all the rage back in the day, and techno-pagans need to be able to find information, too. :)
