I have NO clue how you can connect "Hey Ya" and the Juicy Fruit jingle, unless you're thinking of some other Juicy Fruit jingle besides the famous one from the 1980s. What am I missing?

No, because a spin-off is directly connected somehow—characters, location, title and concept, etc. Just having the same setting and format doesn't count, even if from the same creative team. By those criteria, most TV shows are spinoffs because most creative teams reuse formats and settings repeatedly.

This was a terrible episode except for Abed's asteroid line. Other than that, it was worse than most of the Season 4 stuff people hated. None of the characters have any real, worthwhile moments (even Chang's mask-pulling bit didn't work) and nobody has anything actually funny to say (poor Hickey and Shirley! At least…

At no point did I say I was done talking about it, so…now it's clear that you don't even READ what you reply to.

Pathetic. You are incapable of understanding, or admitting when you're wrong, or learning, so you just make another pointless comment. Seriously, there's not even the slightest wisp of a point in your comment. Yes, I identify myself as a teacher. I'd identify you as a failed student. I hope my taxes didn't help pay…

Your inability to comprehend the concept of "subscription" is sad. Amazon Prime costs money. To use it, you must pay for it. If you stop paying, you cannot use Prime anymore.

No, I'm commenting directly on your comments HERE. "But watching something on on Prime is free" and so forth—your nonsensical idea that it's possible to watch something for free that you've already had to pay for.

You just type for the finger exercise, don't you? Your comments are so nonsensical that you must be almost randomly typing words.

Can all fans boycott any numbskull who suggests boycotting the series' producers just because they don't like the finale? Seriously, grow up and knock off the inane boycott crap!

Did you read the whole article? The part where Osment points out that Smith's system worked? That his AD is great? That it clearly was NOT a logistical nightmare?

OMG, you're right! People smoking pot, being creative, and being productive sounds horrible. My god, how can they let such horrors happen? What a miserable working environment. And it sounds like he's proud of the film. How terrible!

Seriously? You'd rather take time to type that entire question than to type "James Roday" into, I dunno, Google? IMDB? Wikipedia?

Too bad this isn't an actual review of the finale but just a bunch of the author's thoughts about the season and the show's failings. Oh, wait, that's becoming SOP at The A.V. Club.

It's not MY understanding. It's the very definition of creationism. There is NO science to creationism, no matter how much you try to use
the term "creation science." (An utterly bogus phrase—shame on you for
using it.) So, no, I am not forcing MY understanding on anyone. I am simply using the meaning that come with…

First, don't twist my words. I did not say the show has it in for religion. The show is pro-science, which necessarily means showing how science works, which means showing when science has replaced superstition. That is just the nature of reality, bhowza, so Cosmos would have to intentionally ignore religion entirely…

You don't understand why pro-science people would be upset about religious people yet again wanting to inject their non-science into a science show? Seriously?! Okay, let me explain.

If you think it was a tangent to the story Tyson was telling, then you were listening for the wrong story. That's like saying that a preacher went on a tangent when he talked about faith over disbelief: no, that's the entire point.

"Swept away the need for a master clock maker" is EXACTLY RIGHT. That is exactly what Newton's laws and subsequent discoveries have done—removed the NEED for a clockmaker from the equation.

You should rewatch the episode since you clearly did not pay attention. Unless you can provide specific quotes from the show?

Yes. That's called the history of science. A primer in learning. The basics of education. In other words, people believe certain explanations (gods, superstitions) until better explanations came along (science).
