Ellen Sandweiss did a great job. Hadn't lost a beat.

I think I've now seen everything she's done except for the game streams and guitar stuff.

Well, duh, they gotta save that for the sequel.

If you want to go to the absolute beginnings of the genre there's 3-D Monster Maze, a very simple 1981 game for UK microcomputers where you run around a first person maze being chased by a T-rex. There are even little messages that let you know that the dinosaur is on your tail (since sound was not really a thing.)

I think grading on a curve is sort of appropriate- the show is now good enough that an episode like this, which is still mostly laying down plot material, can be viewed as "average" compared to the legit craziness.

Let's share a CostCo card!

Look I'm just waiting until they drop some connections to Futureworld.

To be fair Yahoo screwed their service up in many many ways. They launched with basically two shows and a bunch of SNL clips, no catalog. They were supposed to be free and ad-supported, but watching both Community and Other Space from my console, with no blocking software, I don't think I EVER saw a single ad.

Yeah, right now it feels like they're testing just how many services we're willing to pay for, and at some point there's going to be an implosion and the market will normalize around whatever's left.

Dukakis After Dark

Yeah, it took a couple of episodes post-draft for them to find their way but now they're far and away the better show.

That segment between Becky and Alexa was wonderful- very straightforward, sold the Hell out of their feud. Meanwhile Raw is advancing stories via arm-wrestling.

I didn't even mention suicide. Taking someone else off this planet is basically defying God's creation of them- defacing His work. You're cutting off the good that they could do on this Earth, cutting off their potential, and you are inflicting suffering both on them and on their loved ones (see below.)

Breaking Bad did have a progression, though, it was Walt himself becoming a worse person, etc.

Anthony Stewart Head has played the part and I saw him do "Planet Schmanet Janet" in the Rocky Horror 25 thingy VH1 did.

The main thing I'm annoyed by in these TV musicals is, they're banking on audience familiarity with the originals, so they don't do much to distinguish themselves visually in terms of art direction and set design. There's no reason this movie's Riff-Raff has to dress the same as Richard O'Brien. You don't need the…

But is he really making money from these ventures? Are they profitable? It would seem that if he were relying on albums like this to keep him afloat he'd be in real trouble.

I think there's a specific problem in the way game dialogue tends to be repeated, that magnifies stuff like this to the extent that it loses some impact. See also how Arkham City had Catwoman being called "bitch" about 1000 times- you might expect villains to say that about someone they're fighting but the sheer…

So, uh, sidebar- what the Hell is with Howard Stern's leather skinhead getup in the "What's Up With the Youth" clip there? Was his early radio personality more of a Rocky Horror character than a shock jock?

It does seem like that was a shot from earlier.
