Is there a Gonzo one? Aw, that makes me kinda sad that there aren't any Disney Stores around here.

As amusing as Honeydew and Beaker are, I still find myself being more excited to see Gonzo deliver half a line I've never seen before and Amy Adams sitting there for a few more seconds. I'll just save everyone the time and assume that's weird, but I'm not apologizing for it.

Ah, right, getting mixed up with the name SpaceShipOne.

I'm not sure the village was allowed to help out. Watch, certainly, but I'm remembering that it was a parents-only sort of deal, so if you were unfit parents your progeny was nommed.

Okay, I know YJ is set on Earth-16, but where did that number come from? Earth-1 and Earth-2 I know from hearing about the original Crisis story, but is this just the 16th time they've defined which version of reality a DC series takes place in, or is it tied to specific previous works?

Curiosity: Sated. Mostly. See, when I was in high school, my chemistry teacher did a demonstration for us where he put a teensy chunk of sodium in a petrie dish full of water and let it pop. Then potassium which just burned because, ironically, the reaction was stronger. What I always wanted to see was how the…

Yup. Dench looks like a stern, but well-meaning and loving grandmother. Buscemi looks like the creepy neighbor who killed her with an axe and possibly stuffed her body into a woodchipper to dispose of the evidence.

There's also a touch of Casino Royale thrown in there, where Le Chifre planned to reap a windfall profit off a short-sale against a passenger plane manufacturer which he planned to tank by destroying their brand-new prototype plane right before they could hold the press release where they'd announce it to the world.

He's a recently self-made mob boss who doesn't have piles of money at hand, he has the necessary political clout to push a bill through at the State level, and he's a Prime Villain for this series. As soon as they said there had to be another person involved, I started thinking about how we haven't gotten an update…

Okay, so the investment company that this guy works for has been pushing Tritak stock like a popcorn vendor at fat camp. This causes Tritak stock to spike way above what it's worth. Then Corrupt Banker short-sells a bunch of stock. This is stock that he doesn't own, but has to buy after a certain period to cover…

I'm going to go waaaay out on a limb here, and guess "with credits". Possibly squished over to the side and sped up really fast so they can promote some other show that's coming up in the near future.

It gets even more goofy for Zoidberg's species. It takes many years to reach maturity, but then an entire generation "gets busy". So either the _entire_ species reboots every generation, or there are actually multiple versions of the same species operating in parallel. Think of it like the Chinese zodiac. If…

Cicadas don't exactly go 17 years without mating. They live at most a few months, and spend the rest of that time being dormant. Come summer or winter, biologically speaking there's a whole lot of nothing going on in those ~16.5 years, compared to what Zoidberg's species goes through.

Well, how many xenomorphs survived each Alien movie?

That's not the episode I remember. It took at least two of them (Kif and Amy) to beat the living piss out of all the hungry critters that came looking for a meal while the little kiflings squirmed and hopped the ten feet or so it took to make it to safety.

Aside from the shuttlecock landing configuration (which is kinda neat), what has SpaceX accomplished that Joe Walker didn't do in an Air Force jet before NASA was even founded?

By "mountain-sized steel pyramid", do you mean the one that's supposed to float in Tokyo Harbor and have skyscrapers suspended within it like windchimes?

Judi Dench is the exception that proves his point, actually. Her eyesight has gotten so bad that she has to have other people read her scripts to her because she can't do it herself, and I'm guessing that means they might need to tailor her blocking to reduce the likelihood that she might stumble or trip on…

Best, maybe, not not as comprehensive as it seems. There are probably too many regular "princesses" in there, and I know I left out The Lion King (princess with four feet, princess with fur, princess with a tail, princess with claws, princess with fangs, princess who's culturally expected to do all of the hunting,…

Yes, beauty comes in many forms. But if Hollywood is going to cast someone who isn't a sexpot as an action heroine, you can be damn sure it's going to be a comedy. Or animated.
