Watched it tonight, and was sadly disappointed. I wasn't expecting a reboot of the movie, and only the first song grabbed me.

*This* episode was the American Horror Story: abandonment, alienation, betrayal, injustice, heartache.

"Kwuh-VEN-jah-nay"

I understand the Mayor of London installed sensors along the perimeter of the city, so that every time an American steps in, it triggers "London Calling", and a Palace Guardsman, constable and ageing punk rocker with a Cockney accent will step out to reassure them that they're in the right place.

Great, now can we get Iran to threaten a nuclear strike if Michael Bey makes another Transformer movie?

Wait, American Idol is sponsored by Coca Cola? When it's broadcast here in the UK, they pixelate the glasses. I just assumed that they had pictures of vaginas on them.

My favourite part of the story was showing how Taran society treated the technical support people like serfs, only interested in making sure their gadgets work. Thank goodness we don't have such attitudes here and now…

Dreadful? The word I think you're looking for is delight-

Season 3 jumped the shark - then had a rapid fire monologue about how jumping the shark is the only way to go in this unfair, unjust modern world.

I haven't watched it yet - is there a scene where a Navajo Skinwalker makes corpse poison out of the bones of some of the children?

Let's face it, this show went toothless a long time ago.

No! All of the Novels, again, but what would have happened if the Sorting Hat had put Harry in Slytherin instead of Gryffindor.

True that - except for me. I've found I'm quintessentially replaceable, as numerous dismissals from work have proved :-)

Good point - but I suppose that would have gone over the heads of the contemporary TV audiences…

You'd have thought that Whipple himself would have considered the possibility that he might be fired too, and made preparations.

I was like that about Allan Quatermain…

And to be fair, the kid was right all along… there *was* a monster.

I'm in the minority for not liking Hannibal. I loathe the unreal, theatrical production of it all, where no one speaks naturally (and when they do speak, I have to turn the volume up to maximum to catch whatever florid non-sequitor Hannibal is saying) and I have to rename the episode titles to try and distinguish the…

And is that why when a shotgun blows up in my face, I don't see tweeting birds around my head, just blood and charred flesh?

"The Encounter" is one of those episodes I never saw on syndication but always wanted to. Reading this, however, I'm not so sure now. Is it worth looking for?
