Yeah, the producers really went to town on editing Brooke to look like the "villain" early in the episode. Most of us just laughed and shrugged it off. By the way the grade voting on this webzone is going though, it looks like a lot of you took that as reality.

OK, it's 8:30 am here and I've been drinking all night no sleep, but I did submit my proposal unlike the rest of you cynical assholes. I have great hopes for my future. . .

Hemsworth is pretty good in an utterly thankless role. Thor is just a big blonde block of wood.

I thought that had to be a joke and then I googled it and sure enough—IT'S A REAL FUCKING THING!

I was reading an old Twin Peaks review on this site last night, where Master of Disguise was also brought up. So two Master of Disguise references on the AV Club within 12 hours. Is the universe trying to tell me something?

Yeah, it seems like any talented person with an original vision would have a hard time getting their voice heard in the TV world until they amassed enough credentials to do something on their own.

Actually, Joel jumps up during a scene where Torgo and Michael are standing there staring at each other for an interminable amount of time and shouts out "DO SOMETHING!"

when you someone Marve it . . .

I wonder if they ever invite Stuart Townsend…

I am ashamed to say that when I was a little kid in the 70s, I had a garage-sale copy of the Ahab the Arab album that I listened to on my low-fi record player over and over again with utter glee, even the title song. Today just the memory of the consonant-free warbling that Stevens used as a xenophobic imitation of…

I went back and watched it several times, paying close attention to the cheftestants' attire, before I wrote that post. It was definitely Brooke.
