One of Westlake's always hilarious crime novels, but with a solid sci-fi plot.

Hey, if can have a Modern Seinfeld twitter feed, no reason why can't have Meredith's Truly Bloody recaps for as long as she wants to write them.

The TV's not big enough.

It doesn't count as pop culture, but it's my project manager.

Sorry, but I made a more interesting water sculpture in Minecraft.

I would much rather see a Captain Worf show set in the TNG timeline, but I guess we have to accept the alternate timeline now because money.

According to the Mythbusters, the science is, in fact, fiction. (See what I did there?)

Every week I ask myself why I'm still watching this. Well, right after the theme song plays because at least they haven't changed that. Then they go and have a scene where Lafayette just gets to be Lafayette. He is one of the best characters on TV right now (when they're not using him for some stupid, useless plot…

Even given that, as you put it, "now I evils" issue, it sounds like it still would have been a different and interesting take on the genre.

Okay, that seems to answer my question. As far as I can tell, anyway.

Right, yes, I remember that now. So I ask again: how can he possibly put a number to this project? He doesn't know if, for instance, it's going to take a quarter cup of Crisco per passenger or a pound of Unobtanium.

That's what I'm wondering: if he's keeping it to himself for patents, etc. Because without the technology, it's just made up numbers, seems to me.

How can he possibly put a price on the project if he doesn't know what the technology is?

They probably failed to explain to the whale that it was domesticated. Stupid whale, learn the language!

I love that this commercial brags that 73% of doctors would recommend this to people who already use an energy drink. Really? That's the best you can do out of the population of people who drink this? That's not a good number.

That would be a version of Night Rider I would watch, if the car was in charge and the human was just a hologram.

The upstairs wiring isn't up to code.

I thought that, too, but I've seen clips where he's out and about. "Don't touch Lola." Also one where he's driving Lola with one of the team members.

From what I've read so far, the magic is divided pretty clearly along very specific effects and the militarization of it lends a reality to it that training children in a private school does not. I think it's a pretty strong representation of magic in a real world setting.

Limitless was a surprisingly good movie, despite the misguided premise.
