I understood your reference!

I'm going to see We Are Scientists next Friday and if Morissey was playing in the upstairs room at Fitzgerald's that same night, I'd still go see We Are Scientists.

This is my design.

Also, Fringe had the problem of completely resetting its continuity 2-3 times, which was super-exciting but also a major step backward in the emotional development of the characters.

And JJ has never really been in charge of Person of Interest. That show debuted after he started just slapping his name on shit (much like his idol, Steven Spielberg) to help get it on the air. Jonah Nolan keeps the show humming.

As a person who watched every episode of Flash Forward, seeing that statement always brings a smile to my face.

Nice job calling out the inappropriate quotes, Todd. Quotation marks aren't used for emphasis, people.

NBC was able to wait until a month after upfronts to renew the show last year because it started so late in the season and still had half its season to air at this point. That excuse doesn't seem to hold water this year, since it'll be over in another two weeks.

Yeah, Goyer can also be okay when just coming up with story ideas with, say, Christopher and Jonah Nolan, but stay away from his actual scripts.

I would say that Tweezer Reprise does not count because it actually is a reprise. However, Axilla I and Axilla II definitely count.

I'd agree with that assessment. It's definitely "Chips Ahoy!"-> "Sapphire" -> "The Weekenders", but Sapphire's references are subtler than The Weekenders and easier to miss.

Agreed about "She Was a Hotel Detective." Flans kills it with the falsetto in that song. The only time the original really works for me is when I bother to listen to the whole answering machine conversation on Miscellaneous T. When the drums come in for "(She Was A) Hotel Detective" as Gloria fades out, it's such a

Clicked that link hoping to see "All You Can Eat" and I was not disappointed.

Hey, Hannibal has been giving work to Vincenzo Natali, and he's directed a couple of sort-of horror movies, so maybe that would work. Of course, that's probably because he already lives in Toronto and is easily available for Hannibal's budget. But it's not like Ti would command a big salary or anything.

Oh, they were. But Meijer was all over the midwest back in the 60's and 70's before Wal*Mart was out of the south. Just trying to add some context for people who have never really been in Michigan, Ohio, or Indiana and would be going, "What, Meijer?"

I remember the night I went to see this movie vividly. Mostly because I went to a 10:00 screening on opening night, stopped in at the Borders' to check out the huge line/party for the midnight release of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and then stopped at a Meijer (the Wal-Mart of the midwest before

After reading that I hope that Crawford actually has a get out of jail free car waiting for Will. That sounds awesome! "Oh, I'm sorry, officer. But you can't arrest me. You see, this is my Get Out of Jail Free Car. Here's my registration."

I also heard "Hey, buddy." Despite what the captioning might say.

Also a good point.

It's interesting. I buy all of this over the top crazy murder stuff in the show, but the detail that really took me out of the moment tonight was the fact that they had the trucker have to start up his truck after leaving the truck stop/gas station/wherever. We all know that truckers always leave their truck running,
