I dunno, the last segment kind of got to me — it may have been pretty bloodless but the premise is genuinely queasymaking. Which may say more about what bothers me than it does about the episode itself. I still liked it better than the last couple of Treehouse of Horrors, though.

You’ve got spunk. I hate spunk.

I love how clearly you can see the influence of medieval manuscript illumination in it. Definitely one of the best Disney films visually.

If they did a live-action Sword in the Stone they could bring in more stuff from the book, which is one of my all-time favorites (well, The Once and Future King is, but I don’t think I’d want to see Disney’s take on the rest of it).

I can’t imagine that snowmen topped with severed heads isn’t the last panel of an EC Comics story.

It’s the part he was born to play, baby!

I adore that cover.

I’m not gonna touch the rest of this but Armstrong’s cover of “Bare Necessities” is pretty great.

And it’s sung by Odo!

I dunno if I’d ping it as my absolute favorite, and it’s certainly a new one, but “Friends on the Other Side” is legitimately fabulous.

Weren’t Florence Henderson and the guy who played Greg an item in real life?

It’s like Taming of the Shrew, only with the Brady Bunch!

Yeah, it wasn’t amazing but it was pleasant enough. I’m kind of a sucker (see what I did there?) for Homer-Maggie plots, though — they’re always so cute. Which isn’t something the show needs to be on a frequent basis but once in a while is okay.

I dunno that I hate enough that I’d make it my entry if I were on AV Club staff, but while I love American Gods a whole lot I find the theme music fairly grating, in a vexatiously earwormy way (probably the earworm qualities are what MAKE it grating). Although the visuals that go with it are terrific.

Nah, you’re not alone. Voyager was pretty mediocre but it had a lovely theme tune/opening sequence.

It’s 1980s-low-budget-slasherworthy!

I remember watching that debate on tv and feeling faintly queasy about the knowledge that it was happening just a few miles from me. Of course, I also remember thinking that at least in another month we could all go back to not thinking about Donald Trump.

Yeah, I defy anyone to look at that taco bowl picture and say with a straight face that there aren’t people in there.

<i>It wasn’t uncommon for platonic male friends of the era to speak and write of their friendship in ornate language that, in modern times, would only be used for a romantic overture, and even then seen as a bit much.</i>

That part isn’t true at all, though. The commission of the KJV happened well before James and Buckingham became involved (in fact, the latter was only 12 years old at the time). The reason for it is less exciting — it’s because James and the C of E bishops felt that the popular Geneva translation undermined the…
