If Clerks came out today it would hardly even get any hits on YouTube. Yeah, it's mildly entertaining sometimes, but the main draw of it was that it existed at all. It felt like a movie for stoner teenagers made by a stoner teenager, so even though it barely qualified as a movie, it seemed special. (To stoner…

Firefly's set is almost unfair to compare to anything, because it's got to be one of the best sets in T.V. history. But I agree.

I don't think they built it inside an actual boat. All we saw was a table they were sitting at.

Probably pushed to the floor by Duncan.

From the behind the scenes article just posted, some lines of his were cut from the episode. He would have said:

Their use of "He's standing right behind me, isn't he" really is unforgivable on a Whedon show.

Squint Hardrock yes, but I think the two scientists are the least problematic on the show.

I don't think lack of superheroes has anything to do with it. The show could have had nothing but the core cast, and if it was entertaining, that would have been enough. Extra characters from the MCU would be a bonus if the show itself was better, but the bottom line is still that it isn't.

Yes, you can read it in the extended universe novelization.

Well excuuuuuuuuse me! I bow to your quality pedantism.

But did they visit a star in Next Generation? That's the one Lavar Burton was on and Troy was presumably asking about.

It's highly illogical.

That's the best part of the joke, really.

It seems like each episode this season has had a quote that was similar to or a paraphrase from another show. This week's was from Buffy: "Tell him… I don't know, think of something cool, tell him I said it."

"Cool!"
"Bueno."
"Bueno?"
"Cool!"

I liked the huge prize just because it's one of those stupid things that always happens at Greendale. As soon as the Dean announced the game I knew it was coming. This is why they can't have nice things.

The sheepish delivery of "I understand… I lived in New York" might have made it my favorite line.

I do see his point in calling it a Southern. Westerns rarely deal with any of the issues you see in Django. Black people are almost entirely absent in Westerns. I haven't seen near enough to be an expert, but I can't think of a single black person in the Good/Bad/Ugly trilogy, for example. You've got Morgan Freeman in …

If that agent doesn't walk into work tomorrow morning to find his name plate replaced with "Fashion Police" then I have truly lost all faith in our government.

He was good in both Star Treks. He has more spark than the average stud, and has comedic timing. I'd watch them if you're curious about him, or at least the first one.
