Best Bruce Wayne: Michael Keaton

Not so much thorough as wide-ranging. Details are not my strength.

Did anyone else have to explain that it was not "that book about Bush that was banned in America?"

Depends on the Romanization. (See Alamein, El.)

Can wee please not have a pun thread about this?

^ See this person, for instance. ^

The treatment may very well have undermined his job performance, though.

Vagibrary or Libragina? The controversy continues.

The Miami race riot, Reagan's Neshoba Co. Fair speech, Willie Turks, Vincent Chin, opposition to MLK Day, Hymietown, Bernie Goetz, the MOVE bombing, Howard Beach, the Dotbusters, Willie Horton, Mulugeta Seraw, Cleveland Elementary, the Central Park jogger, Yusef Hawkins.

So about as dumb as Ronnie himself.

Farrakhan wasn't on the upswing for nothing.

Does she like to… run through fields of wheat?

If they introduced Anton prior to this season, it's not very likely that they had this use for him in mind. My understanding is that the show is written season by season.

If there's one thing that upset me about this episode, it was its predictability. When Gavin decided he'd leave the monastery, I knew that Erlich would get stuck in China. When Melcher called Richard at Stanford, I knew that his data was safe and he was calling because he'd just found out he'd been made a cuckold…

Gilfoyle probably named it after Anton LaVey. Also, I think Anton's been around since at least last season.

I wish they hadn't made the pilot so much more about Ruth than about Debbie, because Alison Brie is way too good at playing off-putting and I can't take her character in anything except small doses. I hope there's more balance between the 2 of them moving forward.

Even the folks with the "free hugs" signs have a line they can't cross.
