Nobody's said anything like this yet, so I will: For me, Flaca and Maritza are the new Taystee and Poussey — supporting characters that we only see glimpses of about whom I'm dying to know more. I love those two silly girls beyond rationality.

Laurel got her father out the same way she got her job back: blackmail over the office recklessly endangering her life as bait for the Huntress. It wasn't just her talking a good game to the DA. (And is that really meant to be Kate [Manhunter] Spencer? How'd I miss that, and why isn't she brunette?)

Well, the character does precede "Arrested Development" by more than 35 years, but he also wasn't bald in the comics, so…

Isn't "outrage" Twitter's default state?

The music and performance is all live — no backing tracks. He does make liberal use of video, though.

To be precise, Marshall actually promised to stop petitioning Paul McCartney to let "Weird Al" Yankovic record “Chicken Pot Pie” to the tune of “Live And Let Die.” Which is actually, a real-world thing — Al wrote it and has performed it live many, many times, but McCartney wouldn't sign off on the parody, so it's…

Burns, but no Smithers? Release the hounds.

So you're saying a "Game of Thrones" episode?

Oh, you were serious about the lengthy explanation?

No, but there is a major influx of gay tourists on Memorial Weekend, and most (not all) of the crazy right-wingers shut up about it because they bring in a LOT of money. This article sums up some of it, but neglects to mention a few weekend-long parties run by/for lesbians taking place in venues that are typically…

The major concern among many locals was not opposition to partying and carousing, it was opposition to said partying and carousing being on national TV and giving the incorrect impression that that is all there is to the town.

Spoken like someone who's never been here during Memorial Day Weekend…

Er… the USA Today article is actually a Pensacola News Journal article (same parent company, but credit where due). Full disclosure: I work at the Pensacola News Journal.

Oh, and my for-real Trek answer is when the last of TOS' original seven passes. Jimmy Doohan was hard to take, but whoever ends up being the last man (or woman) standing…

Gotta admit, I was convinced "Shit My Dad Says" would last a few seasons and end because Shatner passed. I'm glad I was wrong.

Oh god, and Stevie Wonder and Quentin Tarantino.

For me it's a cheat because, as an entertainment journalist, most of the ones that really will upset me will be because I've met them and had or felt a connection. Someone posted about Exene Cervenka on Facebook today and the push notice on my phone cut off in a way that made it look like an obit, and I about freaked…

Silly AV Club: Divergent is the next Hunger Games, not the next Twilight.

Insert "Princess Bride" joke here.

Yup. Saw him perform last year at the Hangout Music Fest. Still fucking amazing.
