School In Hell? Surely it should be School Is Hell. Or is it a reference to something else I'm not getting?

Was it really necessary to throw in that dig at Season Two?

The Final Frontier is especially frustrating because there are a lot of promising elements in it - I thought Sybok was an ambitious antagonist, and the confrontation with "God" is an interesting climax - but all of them are mishandled.

Well, it was mostly awful, but I enjoyed the slug balancer.

We all owe Weird Al our gratitude for putting that tune to better lyrics.

R.E.M. was really in a bad way when they recorded Around the Sun. It's telling that "Leaving New York", the best song on that album - the rest of the track is quite good - is still horribly marred. "I told you forever: I love you forever" is an amazingly wrongheaded lyric.

"My father, Daddy Ploppy, was known as Ploppy the Slopper. It was from him that I inherited my fascinating skin diseases."

Madness.

I’m sure I’m going to make some people real happy who love Billy Joel, but since when did Tesco Vee ever worry about pissing somebody off?

Talking Heads and R.E.M. are my two favorite bands, so to have this article immediately follow yesterday's makes me slightly happy.

The official description of Luigi's final smash in Super Smash Brothers Brawl:

My favorite touch is the false bonhomie, the "Can't you take a joke?" he adds every time he insults Karl or Frank. "Ah, I'm just kidding you."

You're telling me Sling Blade hasn't aged well? Which one of us is crazy here?

Great article, although it fails to mention one of the most affecting elements of the game: Marin gradually falling in love with Link. The scene of them on the beach is one of the best in the entire franchise.

I always liked the overture for The Undiscovered Country.

A wonderful show, but reading this speech away from the heady thrill of a full West Wing episode, you can really see how easily Aaron Sorkin gets ahead of himself in the pursuit of "crackling dialogue", or whatever it's supposed to be.

This man is extremely not funny.

I've relived in my mind, over and over since I first watched the series, the moment where the Weirs present Sam with the Atari and he breaks down and rushes to embrace them, overwhelmed by his fortune in having such amazing parents, yet unable to express or maybe even be consciously aware of those feelings.
