About time, Sava. I was worried that coverage of the show had been axed for while.
Anyways, this was amazing. As a surprisingly dark holiday special, it will inevitably be compared to "Holly Jolly Secrets", and rightfully so. But to me, it called more to mind "Lemonhope", another two-part coming of age story that

One of the best weekends I ever had was a few years back, when I had myself a marathon of all the films that are regularly declared "The Greatest Film Of All Time" that I hadn't seen yet, and could get my hands on. So, within 60 hours, I watched The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, Citizen Kane, Casablanca, and 8 1/2, all

A Bit Of Fry & Laurie is so, SO good. You'll have to relate your thoughts in one of the "How was your pop culture weekend" comments sections.

It's definitely an "Arrested Development" situation, where there are so many jokes crammed into every minute that it's impossible to catch them all upon first viewing.

"Freddy, did you notice my outfit?"
"Hahaha! I don't even understand that question!"

There was a time when that was my favorite television show ever. Not that it's diminished in my eyes at all since then, but a Firefly here and an Adventure Time there have burrowed their way a bit deeper into my heart. J&W is still a grand treasure by any measurement.

Too many to list (Life is fun when you're a teenager and everything is new), but I'll do the biggies: Cowboy Bebop, Fargo (The Show), Hannibal, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Paris Texas, Young Frankenstein, Amadeus, The Royal Tenenbuams, The Third Man, The Silence Of The Lambs, Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in

So, going by the headline, you liked less than half of the episodes half as well as they deserved?

Those "I Love Toy Trains" videos were four-year-old-me's porn. I could not get enough of that stuff. And yes, that weirdly breathy, rhythmic "Oh No" is still in my vocabulary.

Get me Clive Warren!

Whoa, prophetic.

Yes. Probably.

Well, I guess now we know what happens when an unstoppable force hits an
immovable object: they immediately start fucking each other's brains
out.

Actually it's…you guessed it, Frank Stalone!

"You've operated with unlimited power, and no supervision."
Well, I'm sure Cyclops would be happy to lend his super-vision, but Marvel doesn't have the rights to use any of the X-Men yet.

Do you understand life? DO YOU?!

I think it wasn't supposed to feel fresh. Instant gratification breeds stagnation. That was part of the point.

Between his line about the media being a "Perpetual Panic Conflictonator"—later confirmed to be a direct reference to Phineas and Ferb—and this guest appearance, Jon Stewart has demonstrated excellent taste in latter-day Disney cartoons.
