That's kind of what I mean. It's just a version of a scene from the book and then Ralph Wiggum delivers a non sequitur, a joke used many times in this episode.

After this episode landed squarely on the nose of "Lord of the Flies", I just couldn't do it any more. It didn't diverge enough to form effective parody. The part where the kids begin chanting the awkward G-rated version of the chant from the book proves it.

A lot of the other people involved in the whole thing proved they were as messed up as he is, without any of his excuses. I'm not talking about the nonstop harassment of his family as much as the multiple times that people From The Internet had "joke" phone sex with a developmentally handicapped man to try and get him…

Who care? I have a smart phone now and am smarter than all of them. They can all suck my nuts

If this feature had that name I would appreciate it more.

please, "love dolphins".

I don't believe you, that's too much like an American television parody of your country.

I'd love to hear the story about how you came to fear "Fried Green Tomatoes", thanks to a woman.

"White knighting carnies"?

The only issue with your comment is that Jeri Ryan was neck-and-neck with Robert Picardo for most talented actor on the cast.

That guy up top needs a visual stand-in, pronto. That's the thing with Merge, all these hits and they still can't sift songwriters from artists. At least teach the guy how to comb his hair. It can be in a crazy way! That's okay in music!

You realize that "preconceptions" aside, those are terrible movies, right?

All the shit with the kid was terrible. I hope Haley Joel Osment turned them down, as in, I hope they were smart enough to ask him. Jake Lloyd is fine, just not as a traumatized slave child.

And the Furious series are more entertaining movies, so what does that tell you?

…it's a joke, because they're bad.

I don't mind "Year of Hell", or "Scorpion", but the best episodes from Voyager are the goofy go-go shit near the end, where Robert Picardo teaches a planet to sing and Jeri Ryan kickboxes Dwayne Johnson. If they weren't going to take the wagon train business seriously, they should have gone lighter, sooner.

I guess I never thought about it that deeply, but their whole society felt like flat soda to me. All the color to the Federation seemed to be provided by stereotyped aliens, godlike beings and forms of insanity.

Star Trek: Voyager … if only that show had been Tim Russ, Jeri Ryan and Robert Picardo stuck on a little ship. And Brad Dourif. And Robert Beltran, better writers etc.

I don't understand what's bad about Rider in your story. Assuming he doesn't have a wife or kids, his willingness to put his possessions and safety on the line to give people the benefit of the doubt and help them, well, that all seems admirable. To you, maybe he's a sucker, but to me, he's earned bragging rights. I…
