Interesting. It seems to be a test pattern from an experimental DuMont station that operated for one year in New York in the early ’50s (KE2XDR). In my relatively quick search, I've seen copies of it and a cleaner recreation on Flickr (minus some details).

Gosh! Can't get a hotel room for less than $200 bucks! Who the hell spends $200/night to stay in PORTLAND?

Yeah, I think I did my back of the napkin calculation incorrectly because it does seem low. When I redid it (based on the per-mile cost of the Warm Springs extension), I got $337.9 billion.

_If_ the original poster meant BART, it would cost approximately $3.45 billion to extend BART from Dublin/Pleasanton to SunTrust Park.

Historically, the Nixon Library was privately controlled. In a transfer of power, the National Archives assumed control of the library and birthplace site in 2007 (as part of the agreement, many historic Nixon-related papers held by the archives were transferred to the library site).

The easiest possible explanation is that "Moon 13" is the base and "the moon" is the location of said base. Although it's somewhat redundant in this case, it's not that uncommon (like the station ident referred to by Jason Kirk Harder or saying New York, New York).

Whoops. Apparently, I can't read. Thanks for the correction, I've edited my post.

Hope winning despite injury reminded me of Kerri Strug in the 1996 Olympics. Strug did her vault routine despite injuring her ankle (and she was famously carried to the podium by her coach).

I agree that the series settles into a better rhythm. One critic asserted that the season was lighter on general pop-culture reference while still leaning heavily on sci-fi/geek culture references.

IMDb indicates there's no overlap between "The Godfather" and "Cry Wilderness" (aside from the extensive use of stock footage of animal wildlife in both films).

Don't be a Herbert, man.

I was totally thinking of "Shada" throughout this episode. The vault _could_ be the prison of the Time Lords…

NBC is airing "SNL" live across all time zones through the end of the season (11:30 ET, 8:30 PT). It appears Global is doing something similar in some markets (airing at 9:29 p.m. in Winnipeg).

NBC and CBS split the Thursday Night Football package (with about two or three games airing exclusively on NFL Network).

"Stop, stop! The Dissolve's dead already!"

Nope — the original authors' son has contributed some religious chapters to the Berenstain Bears' volume of work after taking over the series in 2012. The AV Club touched on this in a previous segment of Wiki Wormhole (and mentions The Berenstain Bears: God Loves You, The Berenstain Bears Say Their Prayers, and even a…
