I dunno, whenever 100 million people do the same thing on the same day, it's quite a force to behold. My grocery story beer section looked like a gazelle after the hyenas have gone over it.

Zombies are eventually kept in their place by a string of subtle microaggressions.

It is easier to find than the on/off switch for your family and friends if you come from a big football family. The shock that registers when I don't know whose playing in the superbowl just goes to show that they don't know me that well.

I think it was less the character than the whole Prison Panty plotline that made me tired of her…. it seemed like the kind of thing that would be really hard to pull off effectively, however much I enjoyed seeing her brother and his wife build their internet startup.

Yeah… its kind of a shame, because I really liked her in the first season, when she was in danger. But once she had friends, she had to keep being a real jerk to have any conflict with the other inmates.

I think we'd all be happier if she was released and the show carried on with the non-Piper characters.

Which is called Aspic or kholodets , if you're interested.

I know Siberians, I can help!

High Fidelity will always win him a pass for me.

Hard Times by Charles Dickens.

It's improved a whole lot this season… I feel like last season she was just popping it on pizza or mixing it into take out.

I can also imagine that seeing her extract and eat human brains is deeply unsexy.

Different tastes, I guess. I found that half of The Stand to suffer from the same problems of 'WTF God?' that, say, the last bit of BSG does. Maybe if the characters had actually done something to clear up the Flagg problem, rather than just let God lead them by the nose to Vegas before butchering them and everyone…

If the Flash can fight a gorilla on the CW, I'm sure CBS could have Colonel Tripps be a race of gigantic kittens.

I'm sure the Japanese are way ahead of us on that.

Especially since the whole plot is basically God finally getting angry enough to get off the couch and nuke everyone.

Is anyone really impressed by a 'virus killed everyone but a few survivors' story anymore? The Stand is a milestone work, but Fox has a *comedy* with the same premise.

Have you seen Rose Red? That mini-series boggled the mind…. it started off with the premise of trying to prove a house was haunted by bringing in a bunch of psychics.

The Stand is two different movies, at least… the brutal Superflu end of the world, and then the Old Testament style Both Gods are Evil fight where people wander around and try to rebuild. The problem is that the Superflu is just so much more compelling of a story, and it's the first part.

I remember being told that there were a bunch of kids having sex in It too?
