It's odd that in talking about Back to the Future III, they didn't bring up the fact that a lot of the scripted dialogue between Steenburgen and Lloyd deliberately quotes from both Goin' South and Time After Time.

Disappointing that they didn't ask him about Searching for Bobby Fischer. First time I ever saw him. He was only in one scene, had only one line, "Can I have one of those?" But he stole the scene, for sure.

Holy gods, I'm glad I stopped watching last year. This episode sounds AWFUL.

It's the same disease that tanked The X-Files.

I loved it, at least those first two seasons. (Wow, is two years the limit before these things just go south?) I could forgive the odd faults because I believed we'd get several years in which to explore all of it. Imagine my rage when it just went KABLAM because the creator got bored. (I can even pinpoint the…

Yeah, I sense a lot of that. I was very into the show Penny Dreadful, which had great potential and wonderful ideas, but kept doing odd things. Important characters getting killed off for no reason, dead end or abandoned story threads. I felt a lot of that "this sounds cool, let's do it!" without any real sense of…

Remember that Sherlock Holmes himself was sometimes stimied by a case and unable to solve it. Not every question can be answered. (Also, not every case was a murder. What's up with this obsession with killing?) But honestly, I'm not sad to see this iteration go. It lost me after The Reinchenbach Fall; after that…

What's a diorama?

I sorely miss the Goddess, as well. Was so amazed and delighted the first time I saw that.

The CPA sketch (Jesus, I just got that part of the joke) is worth the effort just for the sea shanty at the end. EPIC.

*eyeroll* Moron.

BECAUSE THE SONG WAS RELEASED AT CHRISTMAS TIME. And because traditional Christmas music has been so utterly swallowed up by rank commercialism. Geldof was playing off people's obsessions with spending money on stupid things while others fucking STARVE. Christmas isn't just a date on the calendar, it's a metaphor.

Sure it is. You're testing people to see if they can afford to be friends with you.

That's how they tend to go, Sparky.

And the point goes WHHHOOOOOSSSSHHH over your little head.

The reason "We Are the World" was only done twice is because it's so utterly unlistenable. At least the earlier song is about the PEOPLE WHO ARE STARVING, and not a population of privileged Americans fooling themselves about somehow being the "same" as them.

Bono certainly doesn't. But then, he never has.

LOL, as if you don't have one.

Nice to see the assholes haven't let go of that particular grudge yet.

Yeah, how is that possibly any better? Sounds vaguely like Bono is suggesting we offer the starving poor a job as prostitutes.
