I don't think any caliber of music could make up for the loss of Troy Barnes, but this was probably as close as any song could get.  Really great. Minus the last minute or two.

Thought one of them would be a Chelsea Peretti episode, haha.  Didn't even get a mention!

Ha, mine was Undiscovered Country. Or that's the first one I remember, at least. So, nanny-nanny boo-boo, or something.

Oh, you went there!

@avclub-f2e4e72a8a3dfe3f1f45252b11f5cb8b:disqus I knew someone would ask that.  It was one of the best shows of its kind on TV at the time, as Game of Thrones is now.  Granted the field was pretty small.

A love triangle is a somewhat more mature dynamic than a simple couple.  A lot of kids would probably prefer not to know that there's such a thing as unrequited love.

Apocalypse, Magneto, and Storm all hammed it up in pretty epic fashion.

He also made a very brief but pretty badass appearance in the big "Magneto's X-Men" scene in "One Man's Worth," saving somebody from getting killed by a walking robo-tank and then teleporting inside the thing and tearing out its computery parts.

How is "makes stuff explode" a convoluted power?

An Australian Wolverine?  What a ridiculous concept!  Now Hugh Jackman, that's the REAL Canucklehead.

Actually, the episode you're thinking of is called "Reunion."  "Savage Land, Savage Heart" takes place in the same location, but it happens later, long after Mr.
Sinister's power-cancelling machine has been destroyed.  And "Reunion" is the culmination of a long arc in which Xavier and Magneto are tricked into entering

I recently marathoned Spider-Man on Netflix, and man, it does not hold up nearly as well as X-Men does.  The characters are painfully one-dimensional until they have redeeming qualities crowbarred into their stories in later seasons; the writing is plain bad; and Spider-Man himself essentially acts like Jubilee most

How about "Armless But Not Harmless," wherein The Tick, whilst having his head crushed by a robot equipped with The Tick's own arms, exclaims, "I'm… pretty strong!"

Apples and sausages.  The Tick was brilliant but I wouldn't compare it to X-Men any more than I'd compare Parks and Rec to Game of Thrones.

Is that the grappling hook that George Takei reviewed?

Bummer to find out that some of the writers disliked Harmon that much.  I thought it was only the execs and Chevy that had any problem with him.

Yay!

I'm a little curious — why run this story?  I'd wager most people 'round here hate everything that it concerns.

The video is pretty weak, I'll agree with that, but I'm quite fond of the song. Nostalgia definitely has something to do with that, but it's not the sole reason I like it.
