I swear to god I thought she was saying, "I came in like a rainbow".  

I think, "You're firing from both ends.  I ran the ballistics," was my favorite.

I call it the Walking Dead effect. 

There was a throwaway line in one scene where the guy (I'm sorry I can't be more specific, but he was a 6'2 slag of tapioca) asked, "How did we not know about her father's criminal record," and then no one ever referenced that again.

She kind of reminds me of Olivia Wilde. 

He's the mom?

Two things bothered me in this episode.  One is the premise that a certain number of witch burnings were totally justified, but fuck it, I can live with that.  The premise of the show is that witches are real and some of them are evil, so okay.

It's an old joke, supposedly something Gerald Ford said about Lincoln.  I don't know if it's apocryphal or if it actually happened, I've never done the legwork. 

I think the people Richard has been killing will turn up in some sort of scam of his family— either trying to foreclose on the farm or not paying off on some insurance thing.  Emma probably wrote him a letter saying some company was trying to evict her and so he blows into town like a cold winter wind, leaving corpses

My theory on the Harrow thing is some sort of shady types were trying to foreclose on the family farm (or something equally shady) and so he had to show up for a little murder spree. 

If Roy Phillips were alive today he would roll over in his grave.

There's a lot of overlap between Chaotic Evil and Neutral Hungry.

It's worth noting that Last Man Standing gives the "Story By" credit to Kurosawa, even though by setting it in a town controlled by gangsters and bootleggers it was much closer to Red Harvest.

My take away from "Of Late I Think of Cliffordville" (other than Julie Newmar, who dragged me kicking and screaming into puberty when I first saw this episode as a young man) was that successful people tend to attribute their success to their own ability without considering how much of it was luck.  Featherstone got

Does the commercial I keep seeing for this movie really say, "Not since 'Fargo' has a movie been this inspiring—"?  Because that doesn't make any sense to me.  But I can't think of what other movie they could be saying.  Margo, Cargo, 'Bargo (possibly an affecting documentary about the social and economic consequences

In Gary David Goldberg's book "Sit, Ubu, Sit" he talks about giving Bill Lawrence fhis break on Spin City.  He said that Lawrence would come up with 100 ideas and 97 of them would be crazy, but the other three would be these flashes of brilliance that no one else could have come up with.  As Scrubs went along, I think

He mentions in the commentary that he did pick some of the music for the show.  One of the more amusing story lines in the commentary is how Zach Braff went from a complete unknown (he couldn't get into clubs without Donald Faison) to moderately well-known as the star of Scrubs, to a bit of an ego after Garden State.

In the commentary they say they just decided to write the character as Tara Reid.

I liked how Fausto showed up after Linder was pretty much done digging the grave.  I mean, they pretty clearly had followed him from his apartment and were probably watching him the whole time, but why show up before he's done? You're going to need the grave and it's not like your fat henchman is going to dig it.  He

It seems like kind of a big coincidence that the guy who was Gedman's psychiatrist was in the police station the day before he gets murdered by the Beast.
