I lived down the road from Miracle, and it was a regular haunt for me. What with beers served at 8am, a great eggs and hash browns, and free wifi, I started a company out of that place before I got funding for an office.... and I wasn't alone. As I toiled there each morning from 8 to noon, before going home to make…

@TheBexExpress: That's why I'm not taking the bait to the inevitable "poppycock" responses ;)

@Al Swearengen hates cocksuckers v2: I hope that's true

I liked and disliked this episode in equal parts. So far the verdict from reviews has been positive, like what @charliejane just wrote, blithely slipping over serious continuity errors like the Blinovitch Limitation Effect. Part of the fun of a nearly 50 year old show IS the continuity. It allows for an elaborate…

@FodderTheSane: Please don't slam "Misfits of Science." Let its memory rest in peace.

There was no Star Wars when I discovered Trek. I grew up with Star Trek, and by the time the first Star Wars movie came out, I was a teen.

He will be missed, and has been one of my personal favorites since childhood - for all the reasons @charliejane stated, and then some. The successful re-invention of himself from dramatic actor to comedic actor in a world as unforgiving as Hollywood was nothing short of remarkable.

I'm constantly amazed at what people think is expensive as time marches forward. The "at $100 a pop" for airport crack in the article and the "$45 isn't cheap, it isn't even close" in the comments below from @glaeven always make me roll my eyes. In 2000, to get profession whole house audio was $50,000-$100,000 for a…

@UberRob: And...way off base here. By Quinn I meant Flynn, and, of course, the Tron program was Boxleiter. Sigh. Forget I said anything...

@REDante: I believe the CG character of "young Quinn" that we see in the trailers briefly is Tron. At one point in the trailers, he utters the line "I am not your father, Sam"

From the "Absolutely Nothing Could Go Wrong Here" Department.

@branmuffinofethics: Whoops. Really? All these years....I...I am so sorry for my gender confusion.

@LostAlice: I have to agree here. I think the structure of Sherlock plays more to Moffat's strengths.

Despite the excellent last season (sorry, "series") of Doctor Who, anyone else out there worried about Steven Moffat? The whole "it's a big, adult fairy tale, wiht Christmas! and Monsters! And the Doctor! Lalalala!!" spiel he keeps going on about makes me a wee bit...nervous. Good drama has conflict, conflict can be…

@Coen: Thats the "Manners Way." unfortunately, Kim Manners passed in 2009, but her influence on Supernatural lives on. Kim, of course, was not only the producer/director on Supernatural, but also on The X-Files... Another show where if you are the first human in the opening shot, you ain't gonna be around long enough…

@Dan2593: I doubt it. It's expensive to go back and reshoot after the fact. DVD "extras" are usually just scraping from the cutting room floor. That scene was probably shot for the episode, but was removed due to time considerations.

I really wish that they had kept that clip in the episode - it immediately smoothed out the annoyance I felt at amy-tries-to-seduce-the-doctor transitioning to awkward-joke-at-stag-party-then-never-mentioned-again feeling that the original edit left me with...

@EBone: Oh man, don't diss that line dude. That line was the only good thing from StarTrek V. Don't take it away...I need my pain. (Whoops. Sorry.)

@serenada: Uh...ok. Let's just ignore for a moment that the whole reason behind literary critiques and reviews *is* to read meaning into the author's work to try and discern the greater meaning...intended or not....

@serenada: Literature and (tele)plays employ literary devices to drive the plot forward. Sometimes these devices are literal (protagonist shoots someone in the head) sometimes they are abstract (protagonist loses his soul). The audience derives conclusions about the devices from the context of the story.
