Ha, his character in Phineas and Ferb teams up with Candace a few times, who's textbook tall female enforcer. :)

Loved that the show seemed to be foreshadowing the idea that Peepers and Hater ~could be running headlong into a civil war, if Dominator's influence is enough to drive a wedge between them. Despite Peepers' obvious devotion to Hater, I could see Peepers being pushed to such a point that he might decide joining up with…

Those credits were swoon-worthy.

Glad I breezed back to this review to see someone talking about that special. I anticipated it would be hilarious and action-packed (it was) but was totally unprepared for all the emotional payoff and interactions between all of the main cast, which hasn't been done on that scale since the movie. It was INCREDIBLE.

He's so enigmatic that you're just automatically curious about him. Perry doesn't speak, but you can read him like a book. The gag with Peter is that he's just a total blank.

And that one's an hour-long special! I've loved all their lengthy parodies. Star Wars was transcendent.

It's helpful to know that Damon's hook into pitching a story for them wasn't really doing a Lost-themed episode but providing a backstory for Peter, who is one of his favorite characters on the show. So while it is definitely billed as a Lost parody, I don't think that was ever its primary intent. It just so happened…

I'm glad Michael Scott's desire for children came up in this article. I still get choked up thinking about how he finally got the family he wanted, though I'm glad we didn't have to watch all the histrionics that could have come from that if he had been with the show through every season. That's an example of a desire…

One of the first things that struck me when I was first watching it was that it reminded me of Hey Arnold, which is a connection I never really thought I'd make with ANY show. It's got that same blend of real-world pathos and charming kid characters who behave like kids and who definitely love each other. I wouldn't…

I completely agree. Every moment here felt wholly earned and part of what I've always seen as the larger thesis of the show, something about Finn's persistence and optimism in the face of setbacks. The creative team let grief linger in the moments where he remained silent, but then he smiles to let us know life will…

YUP. I don't even care all that much about Jaime/Cersei in the books—but even in the context of the show, it makes no sense. It was complete tonal whiplash from even what the scene was accomplishing SECONDS before. I just couldn't believe how badly it was handled.

"I'm Handsome" just tops everything. :)

The Phineas and Ferb soundtracks are so magical and only scratch the surface of all the music in that show. I was thinking again today about "Weaponry" and how brilliant that one is, though that was one of the few that Dan & Swampy didn't have much of a hand in.

It warms my heart how hard Dan Povenmire and Swampy Marsh fought for a musical episode, as well as to inexplicably name it "Zanzibar."

That was my first thought, but it might work if they went in a completely different direction with it—if she had been forged completely into dark!Abigail and retained very little of who she originally was. That was always sort of how I saw her coming back, so they could play it as an inverse of Miriam's recovery. Or…

Bryan Fuller referred to it as a "pity cane" a few weeks ago, so it's obvious he doesn't really need it.

I was thinking of the way Will talked about the incident in the last scene, that "She was compelled to take his life to take hers back" or whatever, which COULD be meant to suggest she WANTED to kill him but didn't actually do it? Grasping at straws, but that cockroach quality is just too much a part of Chilton's…

While I'd only seen a handful of clips of the original G.I. Joe cartoon (enough to get the tone and animation style it had), I recently binged on the really exceptional animated reboot, G.I. Joe: Renegades, on Netflix, and I'm so glad I had that background going into this episode. The character parodies and riffs on…

I was definitely expecting a joke about that—like they were now stuck in a bad sitcom reality and had to break free from THAT. That's how weirdly saccharine that scene came across, and I'm not against sentimentality! It was just … really off somehow.

Oh God, I've been ruminating on how this show would do a twisted piemaker, letting his victims "live" again, and it would be amazing, but I can't even imagine how I would handle the cognitive dissonance, haha.
