It's strange how some of the best onscreen King adaptations come from his non-horror work (The Dead Zone, The Shawshank Redemption, Stand By Me).

That's such a hilarious typo, especially since it happens twice.

Yeah, I don't think the US Scouts used to really care about orientation until the Mormons became the biggest single sponsor of Scout troops.

Also born in '84, and I was a Cub Scout growing up.  (Looking back, I'm not proud of it, but I was just a kid.)  There was a healthy local membership.

That's why they had to discontinue "Samoas": They ran out of Samoans.

Chad and Jeremy appeared on both Batman and The Dick Van Dyke Show.

Have you ever eaten with one?

You misspelled "Weltanschauung."

The only place in my post I "speak for everyone," rhetorically, is when I say she was "hated by fans" — which you seem to agree with.  Everything after that is either my opinion or an objective fact.

Chloe O'Brien was hated by fans when she was introduced in S3 on 24.  Then she picked up a machine gun in S4 and became AWESOME.  By the end of the series, she was billed second to Jack, and the climax of the final episode revolves around their relationship.

I've been so conditioned by Kevin Williamson shows to expect twists that early on I was expecting some rug-pull where it's revealed that the girl in the cage is evil and Bo is good, a la that one Twilight Zone episode.  But no, they just went and stuck a woman in a cage.  Sigh.

I've been an apologist for this show, but there's no excuse for not giving a character with such a key role even a halfway plausible motivation.

"Monkeys"?  Really?

I don't think so, no.  Taking out the word "as" would make it grammatical, but as it stands it's not.

Nice homage to Leonard Maltin's review of Isn't It Romantic.
