I thought he really was a wizard!

Tusks!

Always loved Geordi but of course I grew up a reading rainbow fan. However, I think my favorite of his episodes is when he is kidnapped and brainwashed by the Romulans and then spills his drink on O'Brien.

Thanks, Che

Litchfield is a federal prison, so it would be the federal Bureau of Prisons that should oversee what's going on. The show refers to them as the Department of Corrections for some reason.

If it were season 1, I might have been concerned that she wouldn't have done something really stupid or inappropriately manipulated the situation, but I think the character has matured enough since then that she appeared the be the more mature and in-control character of the 2 of them. Obviously Morello was crazy

Yeah, and when she admitted that to Craig Ferguson when she appeared once on his show, he had the most amazing creepy/embarrassed expression on his face.

Yeah, but none of those are Federal crimes, unless she lived in DC or on an Indian reservation, or possibly a few other exceptions. I'm assuming she did something else to land her in Federal prison.

As one of the seemingly few fan's of WGN's Manhattan, I loved the meta joke Piper makes to her brother about being a WWII reenactor. (If you didn't get it, the actor who plays Piper's brother is a regular on Manhattan which is a drama about the Manhattan project). It looked a little like Taylor Schilling gave a little

The lawyer said it was a lot of heroin so it can be inferred to be possession with intent to distribute, which is a federal crime. I'm not sure why the feds were involved, possibly because whoever they bought it from was working undercover for the feds, or possibly whatever rich person they burglarized to get the

This is the best bit from a comedian about a prison I've ever heard. First heard it on This American Life about 9 years ago.

There's at least 2 themes. There's the fast "Enterprising Young Men" theme and the main kind of chorale-like theme.

Well, some film scores can legitimately be considered "classical" music. After all, Prokofiev, Shostakovich, Copland, Bernstein, Philip Glass, etc. all wrote film scores. Believe it or not, Camille Saint-Saens wrote a film score for one of the very early silent films. I love John Williams (well, his pre-2000 stuff at

His Star Trek themes are pretty good. Not as good as Goldsmith's, Horner's, or even Eidelman's ST6 but still pretty good. I actually love Rosenman's ST4 theme but admittedly it only really works in context of that movie which is goofy 80's fun.

Now that's funny!

Yeah, well you can't rely on Wikipedia for being 100% accurate either so I think I remember trying to find something else about it but I couldn't find anything else that backs up the Radiolab account.

Yes, the tone is often very off. It's like, look how smart we are!

I listen to Radiolab occasionally but generally I'm pretty wary of it. First, some of their science/history is very questionable. For example the episode on Ravel which claims that he had a neurological condition marked by repeating simple phrases and the episode claims his famous piece Bolero was symptomatic of that.

Giacchino's new star trek theme is probably the best part of those movies. Aside from that Zimmer's inception theme is pretty memorable though mostly for the brrawwwmm sound effects.

Or, from 200 years earlier…
