When I saw the title, I was thinking it was going to refer to something around the California 1989 earthquake that was referenced last season.

***spoiler alert***

I have only been a viewer since late season two, but there hasn't been anything indicating that Fauxlivia/Altlivia went through the Jacksonville tests.

Initially, I agreed that the memory loss was a convenient ruse to keep the professor from becoming trouble later on to the Fringe project, while avoiding killing the character.  But I think the writers did a good enough job to place this in context of the story and still making him sympathetic even though his…

Well, better than this face-to-face:

It was a nice idea to start with exploring how people dealt with reintergrating with a time lapse they weren't part of (sort of a science fiction "Rip Van Winkle" anthology), but it got a bit goofy when the "savior" storyline, where one of them could reduce his superhuman abilities into an injection, and offers it to…

I enjoyed the episode, but how could taking the professor to his alter-ego's house for a profile not result in what happened?  I mean, if the goal is to get into the head of the killer, it would be only inevitable that their past histories would cross.

From Zack's "Phantasms" review:

Not bad, but that's a lot of text for one post.  Italics for the "Q"s will help that.

Whitesnake's musical roots were in the blues, not glam. 

There's a reason why metal music and mellow baritones don't mix - under normal circumstances, the vocals get drowned out.  They've got Reed's vocals mixed in so strongly and Metallica's music so diminished that it sounds like somebody singing in the living room while a completely different song is being blasted out of…

The standard review writing style for these "Simpsons" episode reviews seem to be written in the "hourglass" style:

I had the same feeling.  I waited all summer for "Hot to Trotsky's"?

Oh, you're absolutely right about the skewed quality to popularity ratio with that song, but I think that song was kind of the "Smells Like Teen Spirit" of the country world.  A natural progression of a movement preceding it.

It was 1994.  Angst was the cool thing to have, and "I want to fuck you like an animal!" draws some attention.

Jive Bunny and the Mastermixers.  In the late 80s, the radio in the U.S. kept playing this song that was supposed to bridge the swing song "In the Mood" with early rock and roll, by way of sampling.  Which brought us  "Swing the Mood" which, according to Wikipedia, charted #11 in America.

I seem to remember Janis Joplin's "Mercedes Benz" actually being used in a commercial for said car.
