The answer to that question is "It would be kinda juvenile." Or as someone upthread succinctly put it, "Kinda like when a 13 year old uses the F word trying to sound grownup."
Apparently. If you like, I can rephrase it as "meant to be taken at face value."
Oh my, you've outed me, and I wasn't even in.
More like WTF, Internet? I don't even know whom this is for. How many people thought, "You know, I like 'Power Rangers," but what it really needs is more tits and gore." I initially thought that it was going to be an ironic piss-take on grim-and-gritty reboots, but no, it's dead serious.
Knew it. First episode this season that I enjoyed start to finish, and it gets trashed here. Yes, it relied on callbacks and cameos, but for once it felt like a party to which I was invited. The "Twin Beds" video was great, and the Strong/Fallon duet was adorable. I don't know that the quality of the writing was…
I went to the RSS page and subscribed to the various feeds, yet I'm finding that I'm still missing stories. For example, yesterday's "TV Club 10" Doctor Who article doesn't appear in the TV Club feed. Do I need to subscribe to a different feed for each individual feature?

The episode that made me stop watching "Voyager" was Season Three's "False Profits." I was initially intrigued by the notion of following up a dangling thread from the early days of TNG: the two Ferengi that were lost in the Delta Quadrant after penetrating an unstable wormhole.
I thought that the movie was pretty clear on this point. It wasn't a case of someone being selfish and letting the world die. It was a suggestion that the world *deserved* to die rather than to live on at the cost of institutionalized ritual sacrifice. The office drones had already given up their humanity, only…
"We cash our checks, Father" does appear in the '68 version. Check the Hulu video, right around the 4:05 mark. I mention it only because it's one of my favorite lines.
