Were we not supposed to assume that they were referring to various strippers named Charity?

"What? How dare Moffatt interpret the original Sherlock Holmes stories as grand adventures paired with serendipitous and overly-complicated detective work? Doesn't he know that they were intended to be Great English Literature?!"

This was a mediocre episode, redeemed for me by one beautiful moment: when Monroe reveals the existence of "Jose Maria Lopez Diego y Grimm."

"Wouldn’t it have been far more satisfying if Andy had gone to David
Wallace’s house without the character randomly showing up and delivering
some exposition about his newly-established wealth?"

They're only gay if the guy next to you is also masturbating.

"Bad news for impatient fans awaiting the long-delayed film version of Ender's Game…"

If Hunger Games has taught us anything, it's that America loves serial killers, provided they sort of look like a girl you dated in high school.

K. A previously unknown foreign object in someone's nasal cavity is removed, causing a complete change in that character's personality. The show realizes that the status quo is preferable to this fresh hell, has the foreign object reinserted by a sketchy medical professional. It's the exact same dramatic arc.…

Ahem. That was obviously a dream, and we do not discuss your dreams in the daytime, Bubbameister33.

But what do those three question marks MEAN?!

But that's not at all what happened (and no, not really what's going on in 1984 either). Rick agreed to assume the corpo-human identity of 'Subway' as a job, and clearly gave as much of a shit about it as anyone does about their crappy spokesmodel job.

Ok, I'm just going to say it…

I'd agree that one is still must-see-TV for me and one isn't, but it's only fair to point out that South Park averages 13-15 episodes a season, while the Simpsons averages 22-24. Which in terms of a longevity::funny ratio means you'd have to compare Season 16 of South Park to Season 9/10 of the Simpsons.

Torrent it if you enjoy it, though I'd go so far as to say to not even check out his stuff from the library (circulation numbers drive new purchases). When I lived in Asheville, NC, there was a group of college kids who would periodically go into every bookstore in town and leave one of Card's homophobic rants tucked…

"The more progressive fans separate the extremely socially conservative
man behind the work, the more likely they are to continue appreciating
his entertaining novels."

'Eye of the Beholder' was actually my first episode of TZ, way back when, so it holds a special place in my heart. That said, I've always had one nagging question:

Only if you assume the documentary team is human and not a group of trans-dimensional demigods documenting the last days of humanity…

It's far beyond late-period Office, but it would have been nice to see some self-realization on Pam's part when she pointed out that if Jim hadn't put himself out there, "nothing would have happened." Might underscore that the best thing in her life had to throw itself at her before she bothered to engage it, rather…

I seem to recall he wanted to slingshot her across a football field as well…

Agreed. You have to be a 15 year-old getting their ass kicked to have loved this book (or an arrested adolescent, which is unfortunately a sizable enough percentage of the sci-fi crowd to keep giving this homophobe Hugos). It's pure geek-will-inherit-the-earth revenge porn, with an uncomfortable undercurrent of Hitler…
