I hope this show runs for at least six seasons and an alive Mike pops up somewhere near the end. Catharsis.

Yeah, it's also contractual at first. Janel Maloney was credited as a guest on the first wing of The West Wing even though she was in every single episode. She got bumped to a regular in Season 2 once they wisely ditched Mandy.

Boris Kodjoe was listed as a guest star all the way until Phil 2's demise.

I hope it really was State-sponsored with a capital S. Department of State nerds finally having it out on everyone.

Also, my gripes:

Well that was 10,000,000,000,000,000 times better than any recent episodes.

4 dozen to start, maybe 5 dozen later on when I'm looking to be barge-esque.

I can't abide your Sleeping Beauty comments. It's one of Disney's best films and hands-down the most beautifully animated, perhaps ever.

Beauty and the Beast was the first Broadway show I ever saw. Our mom wanted us to be cultured. Man, it was incredible. And yes, "Be Our Guest" was the showstopper by which all others should be judged. Incredible entertainment.

$20 says we eventually get a Gaston original story.

And Brie has proven singing chops. That'd be great casting. I've never been sold on Emma Watson in the role. Something is just off to me.

No. Jed Bartlet is the perfect president. We all know that.

Alright, as someone who's lived in Catalonia, I take umbrage with "Catalan" being the name of choice. Moreover, do you really mean to tell me a search through the database yields nothing on "Catalan"? Nothing. Nothing of a language or people 10+ million strong? Utter nonsense.

I have difficulty explaining my feelings about this show. I think I'm still here after five episodes because of the premise, but it is not a premise that is bearing much fruit. Everything is just slightly too on-the-nose, too cliched, too absurd, too much Kiefer whispering his dialogue in dramatic fashion.

Seriously, right when Maggie Q said it was built to be indestructible, I thought, "Uh, but it was, like, destructed."

Let's rank every JEW album, super fans. I'll start:

Integrity Blues is definitely their best since Futures. I'm finding most of the non-singles to be the most compelling so far, and "Pol Roger" is freaking amazing.

Of the CTL-Invented-Damage trifecta, I pretty much only ever go back to Invented's title track and MAYBE Mix Tape, but yes, that album is definitely the strong one of the three.

Totally. I remember the numerous leaked demos that I found all over Napster in 2000. We were all super curious about their post-Clarity work, then I was disappointed even though I'd heard most of the songs many times before. Maybe I just got bummed out that JEW became famous for one of the most (as I saw it) un-JEW…
