I hope Mads's character is as prone to airy musings as Hannibal is.

When I was five, my Mum pilfered copies of ESB and ROTJ from my Uncle's video rental shop.

Yeah it's not an evolution - it's just different types in a row with morph effects between them. A more informative (and I use 'informative' in it's most elastic sense) display would go Clonetrooper Ep 2, Clonetrooper Ep 3, Stormtrooper, New Order Stormtrooper, because they're all equivalent rank and file guys.

I had tonnes of the Star Wars Micro Machines playsets and ship collections when I was a kid. You couldn't get proper Star Wars scope with the Kenner figures; with the Micro Machines you could have proper battles with battalions of stormtroopers and rebels, and they had Star Destroyers and frigates. Oh to be a Star…

One thing about Carl and Ellie's story that was recently pointed out to me was that, in the grand scheme of things, it's really not all that sad - these two people met one another when young, fell in love, married, and lived a long, happy life together.

This is an incredible idea. You could have Slinky as Banquo, Sid's mutant toys as the witches, Potato Head as MacDuff, the army men as the army carrying blades of grass to hide themselves - 'Fear not till the lawn comes to Andy's room'. It writes itself!

The Scouring of the Shire's great, and an incredibly important section of the story, but I completely understand why Jackson and co. elected to remove it from the adaptation. Audiences in theatres would be pissed off and irritated by having to sit through a twenty minute extra climax after the huge, spectacular…

No you won't.

I think that quotation's a good few episodes into Season 2.

His fatal flaw was is his inability to feel comfortable with who he was - the fact that he felt this way was presented as his mum's fault (she was homophobic; she evidently made clear to him as he grew up how much she'd given up for him; he loved her and so took her disapproval seriously); in so far as we're intended…

Everyone was sad at some point, except the mayor's son.

Jar Jar blatantly is supposed to be a silly character. The other characters find his… uh… shenanigans… annoying. The issue with Jar Jar is that some find such a slapstick character inappropriate for a Star Wars film.

Twin Peaks, too.

My brother suggested he first series finale would have benefited from a moment where Rust, gutted and hauled in the air, calls down to the bleeding, nearly given-up Marty and shouts:

I figured his mum was homophobic; she piled a lot of expectations on him; she gave up a lot for him when she was raising him and, crucially, told him that's how she felt. He was a decent guy, so being raised like that would have left him hating that part of himself.

I'm genuinely miffed that people piled on Vaughan's performance early on.

Lindsay Naegle was in the Poochie episode: "Can we rastify him by… ten percent or so?"

I love how desperately happy and grateful Apu's 'Yes!' is when he sees his mum fall over.

"Yes! The lie has set me free!" - is among my favourite Simpsons lines, and definitely the one I get most of a kick out of using in real life.
