Don't forget to throw in Pop Song '89.

Actually, the shaggy-dog, constantly broke, fundamentally-good-but-willing-to-bend-the-rules feel of Rockford was what resonated with me in Firefly.  I like to think of the two shows as spiritually connected.

I think we've been through this in the comments before on prior seasons, all the allusions to suicide.  I think I've just decided that this show likes to have suicide as a motif.  Or maybe, in the very last episode of the show, Don kills himself.

I thought it was hilarious that they started bitching at each other as if they totally forgot the woman scientist was still in the room.

Well, in last week's episode, he tells Dany that he's going to find a ship for her.  Perhaps he's still away.

Yes, I believe it did show up.  We tend to watch with subtitles on, and I believe I saw it there.

I actually think it's the weakest commentary in the set.  The singing of the theme song was brilliant.  But they're just kids, so the whole thing was just them complimenting everyone as being "so nice".

If there's one thing the series has done really well is Lena Headey's humanization of Cersei.  She plays her character with such a deep sadness that we occasionally glimpse.  I think Headey's portrayal gives a depth and a sympathy that you don't always get in the novels.

A long time ago, I went to an industry screening of "Club Paradise" with a cousin of mine.  I can't remember anything about the film except for Peter O'Toole on horseback, but at the end, my cousin warned me to stay in my seat, saying that if we left early we might be offending the industry people around us.

I know quite a few small kids that watched Spider-Man 1 & 2 on DVD literally hundreds of times, at home and inside the minivan.  Now that they're in high school, I could see them embracing this film as "their" Spider-Man.

But that would mean Spectacular won't be as good as Amazing.

That leaves…Supernatural?  Not sure what comes on before Angel, is it Law & Order?

Very nicely put.  I also think Marvel has always done a good job of putting the asterisk and referring you to a prior issue when something in the past is brought up, which always sent me back to comic book stores to dig up back issues.

Where is that Avengers art from?  I know I've seen it before, maybe some time in the late-'80s?

Oh wow, I remember that Thor crossover.  That was the height of the Walt Simonson era for Thor.

It's always pleasant when "Shawshank Redemption" shows up, like an old friend at the door.

No way, listening to Attack of the Clones dialogue would be a sure-fire way to have a bad trip.  Or at least a terribly clunky one.  All that talk about "stress" in that movie, you would think that Anakin just needed a nice bubble-bath and it would have soothed any disturbance in The Force.

Black Bolt: "…"

Does the #1 issue of the West Coast Avengers miniseries count?  As a California kid, a superhero team based in L.A. really appealed to me and got me to cough up the 60 cents to buy the issue. Oh wait, it was one of those 75 cent "premium paper" issues: http://drvictatorpresents.b…

What terrible timing by Dish Network, in the middle of an incredible run of episodes of Mad Men.
