James Franco: Considered wildly deep and profound by fifteen year olds the world over

*fistbump*

The scene where she starts crying while on the phone is incredibly powerful. You can see her eyes go INCREDIBLY bloodshot as she spirals downward, and it's terrifically effective.

I want to have O'Neill's babies. (His work in episode 13 is a Crowning moment of glory.)

The incessant overexposure of both bands led to a lot of people hating what really were totally inoffensive, unchallenging albums. Pocket Full of Kryptonite and Crackedrearview just had single after single after single after single pulled off of them until you never ever, ever, not ever, ever wanted to have to deal

That Baker/TOS issue was a lot of fun. The crossover in general was okay, and Picard especially got some good play, but in general the Enterprise crew slipped into the UNIT role in what turned out to be a very Doctor-centric story.

The Pirate Planet is two-fisted awesome, because:

Piper is legitimately terrible. The character is fascinating, and I love the actress playing her, but if I knew Piper in real life I would HATE her. So yes, it rings true that the people in her life are almost by definition equally difficult to take.

They just need to find someone who will make people forget the raw magnetism of Peter Hooten.

The Lone Ranger had an awful lot wrong with it, but if there's a scene of the Ranger riding Silver, thundering from rooftop to rooftop, all while the William Tell Overture is playing, and there isn't a big goofy smile on your face,there is officially no hope for you.

Upvoted for Caroline Dhavernas reference, which should always go rewarded.

Good morning, Hank! It's the Darkest Timeline!

I bought and enjoyed that Season One box set, because it was what was available and the show is terrific, but yeah, the edits and obvious music substitutions were jarring.

Heeeeeey Steve! Whatcha doin'?
Heeeeeey Steve! Who you fightin'?
Who's that ghoul?
Who's that ghoul?
It's the dread Dormammu, potentate supreme of the Dark Dimension! (The meter doesn't always translate.)

I have multiple family members from the Greatest Generation who entered the clergy, and I can tell you first-hand that "nun-like" and "closeted" were by no means mutually exclusive. We all just acted like no one noticed and we got another awesome aunt out of the deal.

I remember Spade giving an interview (I wanna say it was on Stern) where he told the story of the fallout of that joke. Apparently Murphy was watching and did not find it particularly amusing, and so left a message for Spade at 30 Rock the following Monday. Spade returned the phone call, got someone in Murphy's

BOTP was a daily obsession with me for a kid, and it's only now that I can watch it and see "and then they saved everyone offscreen! No one died! Nothing to see here!" where at the time it went blissfully over my head.

Honestly, "Days of Future Past" was a terrific story, but it's also the exact point where X-Men really started to go off the rails. The few years before that had some all time classic work, but once "Hey, we can complicate this!" became a thing Claremont could do, it just spiraled out of control.

The ring bear?

I'm one of the other three; I watched Mad Love every week in the vain hope that it would achieve the potential I could see in it, almost all of which was down to Labine and Greer. They were amazing bouncing off of each other.
