Recently stopped in outlet mall Hot Topic- playing Backstreet Boys.

This episode is #2 on my traumatic childhood memories list. Right after watching my grandfather kill a rabbit (slowly dying from a gunshot wound) with his hands. I'll still go camping, but not hunting.

The team dynamic brought to mind Charlie's Angels. Also, the "think of baseball" rant was a nice dig. Wasn't it Sarah & Morgan after the squash game doing the finger dance?

Lyrics etc
Long Time is one dead guy singing to his partner with whom he committed suicide and is now buried next to in a tomb. Bound Away is a song about being on tour. Some others are relationship gone wrong songs. Mustache Man (Wasted) I'm guessing will be a single, and is the better takeaway song than Sick of

Convert
Last week I watched The Event & then this show on Hulu. The clear winner was Lone Star. The cable-esque qualities, story & acting hooked me much better than "Where did the plane go!?" Hopefully others made the switch to justify more episodes.

I choose to believe it's just another set-up for a Funny Or Die video.

Audition Ep
The pacing seemed like it was on crack. Was I supposed to know who the other two judges were? They needed some introduction.. Food snob guy who isn't Ramsay opened up a bunch of Italian restaurants? OK…which ones; where? Fat not-Ramsay…anything?

Gullibility, Ignorance & Paranoia
The episode was somewhat annoying, mainly due to Ellie. She's an MD & she falls for the same ploy as Jamie Lee Curtis' bored housewife from True Lies. The sputtering inability to communicate information doesn't seem like the sort of quality you would find in a doctor either, at least

…and for half a second I thought it might have been Pretty Fly for a White Guy.

I expected some Zeppelin song. Though Rock of Ages does share a name with an actual hymn.

Horrible waste of Christopher Lloyd. Can't help but think the show would have thrown in some more references for fun in earlier seasons.

No Love for War?
War - The World Is A Ghetto

The execution of the "original" premise is Bones ( Specialized Niche Person + FBI) + House-esque team supporting Specialist. It's only slightly better than Mental was due to the human-lie detector aspect. Was enough to get me to watch sporadically on Hulu last season, but unless they throw in some 24, this is going to

Mental was canceled. There was the random Family Guy clip when House was beating his roomie. Lie to Me is just a reworking of Bones. Life was an NBC police procedural, no more like House than any other medical procedural is like any police procedural. Someone above in the comments mentioned Wilson's brother - that's

Didja really think it didn't already exist?

What didn't I miss?
Living the life of a christian kid in Florida suburbia in the 90's, I totally missed the music of the time. It was something I was aware of around me, and on the radio, but I was full into christian rock. I am therefore very proud of having found MST3K, TMBG, TDS, and all things Nintendo at the

The "Season 2 preview" at the end of the episode showed a flash of evil Charlie looking tied down with a needle going for his jaw - so yeah, I'm guessing they figure it out sooner/later, and jam him full of muscle relaxer to get his "real" face. Though botox to tense him up might be funnier.
