The fact that Moss' bartender subplot barely gets mentioned in the review despite all his incredible pratfalls is testament to how amazing this episode is.

I say this a lot on this site but that's definitely my favourite thing to say whenever I'm discussing art that is self-consciously 'transgressive'.

He is hands-down the best option for the lead role in BLESSED! The Brian Blessed Story.

I think my initial post seems like I'm quite negative on it but it is actually very very good and extremely watchable - there's no way I would have watched around 6 hours of it on Sunday if it wasn't!

@avclub-29501df08e5d9ae59e432e4f188d3735:disqus  some guy named Sean Pratt. I think he nails the tone fairly well.

Yeah I was thinking "This is like a shitty band sung awfully over a great Radiohead song!" then I just read here it was that shitty band from NZ so that's… something good for them I guess.

@avclub-615e85318c18d18b6901b69196261c5e:disqus It's split into 7 parts (6 of around 8 hours, one of just shy of 7) and each has a corresponding .pdf file with the footnotes.

@avclub-c26473f2f4772a2a52e4690515ce6e75:disqus 56 hours - so a cool two and a third days.

Ha that was the only specific one I could remember when I was typing this! Some of them were fun and there were some cool guest stars but it mostly just coasted along on good dialogue and Timothy Olyphant's not-insignificant amount of charm - much like how Fringe coasts on John Noble's fantastic performance for the…

I think that's a perfectly cromulent way for one to reverse time.

The NZ media are ridiculous about rugby in general. They always rundown the opposition before the match and tend to report on any game like the All Blacks were the only team in it. I live in australia now and find it hard to even read news about rugby because it's buried under stories about AFL players being charged…

Nice, love both of those films but haven't seen either for the better part of 20 years… might have to get onto that.

Does that mean the Warriors have receieved competitions points 5 weeks in a row? What a streak!

I've been watching Workaholics too, it's good but not great but is a pretty perfect timewaster.

I'm listening to the audiobook at the moment, I'm loving it a lot but I'm only about 4 hours into its 56 hour running time so it may take a while… I usually listen to audiobooks at the gym but this one requires pdf footnotes so I can pretty much only listen to it on public transport.

Oh man my heart breaks just thinking about the scene where the grandmother talks about getting old to the oblivious grandson in the park.

Is that the first Superman or are you talking about the released Donner Cut of Superman 2?

On Friday I took it pretty easy, continued my first watch of Fringe - getting towards the end of S1 and, as someone on Twitter pointed out, it definitely got better once Jared ‘Lane Price’ Harris joined the cast… oddly, the show I love that I’d most compare it to in that respect would be Justified, which limped…

Yeah, I never every thought I'd find myself emotionally affected by a TV show scene in which a man skyped a monkey puppet but here we are…

Rik Mayall named his autobiography Bigger than Hitler, Better than Christ.
