Welcome to just how geeky the A.V. Club can be.  

In American football, you have the Fullback, Halfback, Quarterback and the Kwisatz Haderach.

That is how I did it when I first read Dune at 13. There are no real spoilers, but it gives you an idea of the world you are about to enter (the limited technology, the way spice is interwoven into everything, the feudalistic politics and court intrigue).   And be ready to thumb back if you aren’t sure about…

That is why everything was on such a grand scale.  Big hats.  

When I read it at 13, I actually read the glossaries first.  That way I knew the world I was getting into.  Not sure that is the best way but it worked for me.

How easily you have forgotten the fisting scene at the end of It’s a Wonderful Life between Stewart and Barrymore.  

I have no problems with the slow start. The problem with the previous format was that the first one or two people you never really got a feel for. Here, even the first person off got to show off five or six looks, a couple of different talents, and we got a better feel for their interpersonal skills. Especially with…

The original Letterman Late Night, until 85 or 86 was just Monday through Thursday. They used to have a music video show on Friday nights in 12:30 slot.
