@wjbean: There's also Barjo, which is based on Confessions of a Crap Artist. That's a great film.

@glucious: Amen.

The Doctor vs. Manservant Neville. Or how about a full-on Doctor Who/Middleman crossover? I think I just named my ideal genre show.

@mekki: He would be incredible on Fringe. Damn.

@Batmanuel: Reminds me of the Khmer Rouge before they launched their attempt to turn Cambodia back to the 12th century - they were a bunch of hillbilly lunatics living in the jungle and overseen by a small core of educated guys.

@Guitaratomik: If it were Fringe, the alien would demand to see Olivia Dunham and give her vital information from "over there".

@Johnny Gilbert: Whether he gets cash or just stories out of the deal, I think he and the passenger would learn a little something about themselves at the end of every episode.

The interesting thing about Bradley Cooper is

I'm just going to ignore the notion that Abby has some kind of mind control power over Owen. I prefer the idea that he's a screwed-up and lonely kid at a point where his moral compass is spinning wherever his hormones point him. His choice is between abetting a supernatural evil force that loves and protects him, or…

@plastic_vengeance: Yeah, those robes kept throwing me out of the story. The katana fight was a bit of a cliche, but I'm a sucker for katana fights. Although if Zoe's character were able to control other characters, why bother to get all swordy and kicky? Hm.

@Cash907Censored: They didn't equate religion with badness. In fact, the episode was about the failure of humanity to live up to the transcendent religious ideal. Clarice offers a fake, faith-free religion, and the ones in power bite, because they've lost faith, or are too tempted by the worldly allure of a virtual…

@michaelisneat: You are wrong.

How about a Fringe spin-off where Andre Royo just drives interdimensional fugitives around in his cab every week?

@Honu Harry: The aliens have really bad peripheral vision?

"What are you looking at when we kiss, Olivia?"

@Elak Swindell: This is the "What to Watch" column, which focuses on television. So it seems fitting to mention that the show is now on TV.

@TheGreat&PowerfulTurtle: Watch me do The Worm!... ugh.

@MrTripps: Sort of, yes. That didn't occur to me until now.

No wonder they got rid of Catherine Hardwicke. "There. I took a complete piece of crap book and managed to squeeze out a reasonably coherent story focusing on a young girl's passage into adolescence through dislocation, alienation and first love. There's even a little bit of action in it. What do you think?"

@Plague: Gah. That stupid-ass ending. 'Hey, looks like everyone's okay after all! And I think we all learned a little something about ourselves along the way".
