I've always thought of Jake as an idiot savant. He is trying to be the ultimate 80s action movie cop, and he's very, very good at that job.

Come to think of it, being a dysfunctional man-child is also part of that persona. So maybe it's subliminally "intentional."

It was a gambling outcome. Of course the crowd in a bar in Brooklyn is going to care about that more than a Lions game.

1) Oyster Dressing (not stuffing) made with stale bread and not cornbread.

2) Deviled Eggs

3) Good giblet gravy, which I honestly prefer on dressing to potatoes.

I would be totally for that. But given where the show started, I'm not sure Fox has the inclination, appetite, or budget to take the show in that direction.

In fact, I wonder what Fox thinks of what the show is turning into, because "Devil Cop" it ain't (at least not any more). But I personally am enjoying what it's…

I think LaToya may be misinterpreting Charlottes' intentions. It's fairly clear (to me anyway) that Charlotte doesn't want to return to the Silver City as "one big happy family." She's recruiting her sons to join her to overthrow Heaven. One has already rebelled, and the other is well on the way.

I'm a little…

Check out Alton Brown's "traditional English Christmas" episode of Good Eats. He prepares a duck in lieu of the goose, but I've used his recipe, and man is it good. He cuts out the backbone, spreads the duck out, and dry ages it in the fridge before cooking. Plus, it only takes about 45 minutes to cook.

It obviously…

It's become a cliché, but deep frying the turkey really is the way to go. It traps most of the moisture inside and you can flavor the meat any way you like with injection marinades. Even without an injection, fried turkey is great.

Yeah, I can't help but think the author missed a step. I can't believe a company founded and headquartered in New Orleans would make the mistake of producing a turkey that didn't have a crispy, spicy skin.

"It's the Doctor who needs rescuing…"

Hasn't that been the consistent theme of Moffat's entire run?

Just his Disney obligations would kill most people. In addition to his work on Moana, he's co-starring and assisting on the score in the Mary Poppins sequel, co-writing new songs for the live-action Little Mermaid, and working on a new mystery animated film. Astounding.

There's a great bit in the old Jay Mohr sitcom Action. During the filming of a scene, they inadvertently kill a dove. One of the characters laments, "that bird worked with John Woo."

I had no interest in seeing Road House until I saw Siskel & Ebert's review. It was basically two reviews in one: if you take this thing seriously, it's awful. But if you go in believing that the director is in on the joke, it's fantastic. I did, and it was.

Caitlin should also explore Pecan Pie filling. It's basically the same thing she loves, but with brown sugar, butter, eggs, and vanilla. We used to get into fights over who could lick the spoon when my mom made those pies.

Jelly Babies were also a favorite of Tom Baker's Fourth Doctor (Who). I finally had them when I visited London decades later. They're a little softer and sweeter than Gummy Bears.

Seconding Kayla, we used to have a saying in college: Develop a taste for anchovies and you'll never have to share your pizza with anyone. The flavor seeps into the cheese, so even if you save some in the fridge, no one will steal it the next day.

William is right. Food shame is stupid. One of the main perks of…

So, a movie based on the second act of King Kong crossed with the third act of Apocalypse Now. And just in case you didn't get the Vietnam allegory, the trailer throws in a "We Don't Belong Here."

It looks like silly fun. But other than setting up a Kong that's big (and modern) enough to fight the Godzilla reboot,…

"Michelob was a go-to brand for crafty experimentation, with pumpkin-spiced and barrel-aged ales appearing in an annual holiday sampler"

I once had a Michelob bourbon-cask-aged ale that was simply spectacular. I got it at a kiosk at Epcot and by the time I returned, they'd gone to all Samuel Adams products.

Then they…

J.E. Jones is still very much alive. He's doing the voice of Darth Vader in Rogue One.

It will be interesting to see where they go with the live-action Lion King, which has already been announced. In the animated version, "Be Prepared" is a direct riff on Leni Riefenstahl imagery. It's extremely effective in animated form, but seeing that translated into live action may be a bridge too far.

Farmer in the Sky, which I read at about the same age that the protagonist in the book was, is also quite good. I think it would make a good movie adaptation.
