I really really wish they would collect on DVD all of the "Family" sketches in order. It might be somewhat harrowing to sit through, but damn would it be funny.

The look on the face of the girl with glasses right at the start is just priceless.

Meat Loaf's Bat Out of Hell. Never looked back.

I always thought Alex Winter was way hotter than Keanu.

Well, from the original series it's made clear that the Dalek casings are at least partly powered via psychokinetic energy, so the idea that that their emotions rev up their power supplies is not so far fetched. (Of course, in the episode in question, a power drain that leaves them with ONLY psychokinetic energy to…

His "genocide" speech and evil glee when he went on about "the blood of the Time Lords" was just glorious.

I obviously went to the wrong high school.

Haha! I used to be able to recite that whole exchange!

"What the hell happened to your hair?"

To this day, "Big Man on Mulberry Street" is the only Billy Joel song I can stand.

This movie has a very strong queer vibe to it - both from Evil Ed and also from the close relationship between Jerry and his "Renfield." Kind of wish AV Club had addressed that. This movie has a big gay following.

Surely she's playing a "Clara Fragment" as seen in "Asylum of the Daleks," "The Name of the Doctor," etc?

Godzilla's roar was created the same way the TARDIS engines were - scraping the strings of a grand piano!

OK so what possibly unintentional homages did people pick up on in S1? I always thought that the opening credits gag of Morty's android face falling off was a reference to the cliffhanger in "Doctor Who - The Android Invasion" where Sarah Jane Smith is revealed to be a duplicate (itself an homage to a similar reveal…

But Jim Steinman had already written most of the songs for "Bat Out of Hell" well before Meat Loaf appeared in "Rocky Horror." Let's face it, that faux-50s vibe was pretty popular in the 70s anyway (Grease, Sha Na Na, even the Ramones traded in this).
