I can't do this. It'd feel like ranking my children based on how much I love them. Part of what makes The Mountain Goats great is that they have a best song for whatever mood you're in, whether you need the dirtier guitars of "Lovecraft in Brooklyn", or the simple sadness of "Deuteronomy 2:10" or anything in between.…

"Now, Homer, I hear Ray Patterson is a fine public servant."

And The Lorax would like a word with you.

Eh, you could make it work in another context: "I won't join in the procession/that's speaking their piece/using five-dollar words/while praising his integrity."

Agreed, I think S6 works very well as a deconstruction, and I'd argue that it was pretty necessary as something of a course correction after the escalation that went through S5.

For whatever it's worth, Reptile Boy and Inca Mummy Girl were the episodes that finally got me on board when my then-girlfriend-now-wife was trying to get me into it. The monster in the basement of "Reptile Boy" is dumb, but I liked the dynamic of Buffy and Cordelia at a more "mature" party, and while the execution…

I think it will still play because even if you don't know the premise (which, I didn't, having never seen those commercials), it works as just a fun bit of weirdness.

Agreed, his weird affectations never go anywhere but annoying.

There's a particular beauty to Simpsons cultural reference jokes that become obscure, then relevant again, then obscure once more.

I'm also fond of the scene where the Simpsons are surveying litter in a forest, a surprisingly coherent Crazy Cat Lady says something to the effect of "What a shame." Marge asks if she's the crazy lady who throws cats at everyone, and she responds, "Thanks to my medication, I have brief moments of lucidity." Then, as…

It's such a fun mini-running gag. Crazy Cat Lady seems like such a one-off joke that her appearance after the train rolls by is an amusing surprise.

I actually like that they left Jessica's motivation to subtext. She's haunted by what she's done, that leads to a fixation on the widower of the woman she killed, and then she inadvertently becomes too close and it gets complicated. I don't think it would be bad if they signposted that a little bit more, but Marvel TV…

Good, I'm glad we can still be friends.

Are you counting Muppet Christmas Carol?

Hopefully a yard king.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the implication is that the Cylons don't age. Again, you can write it off as a "the final five age, the other Cylons don't" sort of thing, but at a minimum, it's something of a handwave.

Yeah, but in the scene where Tigh confesses to Adama, and Adama brings up the "you had hair" thing, Tigh doesn't say "it was a wig," he says, "I guess I'm just a different kind of cylon."

I absolutely loved this episode and it's well deserving of Sava's A. There's a childlike wonder to BMO that makes him a wonderful bridge to an endearing and unique perspective on Finn, Jake, and Ooo writ large, but that also comes with a childlike profundity, to where the character can appreciate and consider things…

He certainly doesn't compare to Super Bowl winning quarterbacks like Trent Dilfer and Brad Johnson.
