I'm so sad the Lions series and thus these LEGO highlight reels are over… oh well, 2017 is just around the corner!

Both versions of TTSS are excellent but I definitely have to give the edge to the miniseries, just because of the longer running time meaning less has to be cut out. The film is amazingly shot though, super stylish.

Finally watched a couple of games this week! Loved seeing the Crusaders dismantle the Chiefs… even though the Crusaders have fallen from being the Man U of Super Rugby to the Arsenal, I do love the fact that the rest of the country still hate them and all the commentators seemingly will them to lose to other Kiwi…

It's eternal - the game just keeps spawning new players. I have a friend back in Wellington who played the 2007-edition through the year 2121 last I checked. In my game I have a Kiwi leg-spinner named Spencer who averages 19.24 in Tests and 22.03 in ODIs, my bowling attack is based around him, Boult and Bracewell.…

I love The Castle with a passion and quote it a ridiculous amount, particularly "Tell 'im he's dreaming!" when someone is charging too much for something online. My friends went for a road trip and went past a sign for Bonnydoon, leading to "We are going to Bonnydoon" being sung for the rest of the drive.

Oh man, that was less of a test match than a massacre but definitely fun to watch.

FRINGE SPOILERS

Withnail & I is incredible… I would recommend watching after a bottle of wine and with a couple more perhaops?

The Manics are one of my favourite bands, I wrote below about the gig of theirs I went to on Friday night. Those two are great albums (the former in particular is definitely a great gateway to the band, with the latter being a bit too pop) but I'd defintiely recommend their debut (Generation Terrorists) which sounds…

On Friday I went to see the Manic Street Preachers on their tour following the British & Irish Lions around Australia. They are one of my favourite bands and I had only seen them once before at a festival so I was pretty excited about seeing them headlining a proper show. I arrived super early so I could get a good…

My top 3 would contain the same episodes as yours but probably with 3 and 1 swapped… I'd swap 5 and 6 too (mostly because I haven't seen Krusty Gets Busted for the better part of 20 years) but otherwise I'd say you're pretty onto it.

For some reason the one where Homer becomes an astronaut wasn't repeated in NZ for several years after it first aired so it always had that slightly mythical quality to me, especially as I missed the first 5 minutes or so the first time I saw it. I'm sure there's a few others too.

I had forgotten that quote came from this episode but I use it a lot. A lot…

@avclub-b6d332147d0b17b7f09c83d97a0cbe56:disqus  (I'm listening to the audiobook of I, Partridge at the moment so I'm loving the Day Today reference!) to me the absolute worst example of the 'and then, and then, and then' plot structure you mentioned from when I still watched the show was the episode where they went…

We watched so much of The Office when my housemate was at graduate school that in one lecture they were being shown some blueprints with the professor noting that "There are three entry points," my housemate blurted out "That's what she said!" and was greeted with the silent reproach of 25 final year architecture…

The episode where Michael and Jan go to the party at DFW's house and she says a TWSS in her talking head and then is shocked at what she has become has always been a favourite of mine.

Oh man I was supposed to go and see a friend's band play that night but I ended up discovering that comment section and instead reading it and laughing and forwarding passages to everyone I know. My grandmothers were confused but ultimately happy to hear from me.

Darkplace would be hard to review because it's already so meta but I guess at least we'd have a place to show up and quote the show for 3 - 6 weeks?

This is probably the episode where I went from loving Richard Ayoade to being fully-fledged in love with Richard Ayoade… so many great pratfalls, so many amazing lines delivered so perfectly: his talk about how he could have been in the theatre, "This takes place in the past!", "Every value I've ever had is being…
