    This is a bit off-topic, for which I apologize, but it's kind of related to your comment ("the funniest part … was the ending credits") and it's silly enough that I'll take the opening to mention it.

    (Sorry if someone else already mentioned this but there are a lot of comments to go through and Disqus goes out of its way to make it inconvenient to do your due diligence.)

    I've got a Kickstarter to get my all female remake of Brokeback Mountain off the ground.

    I am Moot.

    I know this is the least popular opinion any human being has ever had that doesn't involve insufficient condemnation of a Kardashian, but I actually liked Topher Grace as Venom at least in theory, insomuch as Grace is practically a doppelganger of Tobey Maguire, so the idea of casting him as the villain that's

    He's clearly implying that Vin Diesel is going to play Luke Cage. Or one of the Ambiguously Gay Duo.

    You know how I know you're not serious? 'Cause no one likes Gatoz.

    I lost interest in that comment after the first letter but I stayed with it anyway and I'm glad I did because it won me back over.

    Have you seen Assault on Arkham? I'd put it ahead of Flashpoint Paradox and probably about on par with Crisis on Two Earths, though it's been a while since I saw that one.

    I liked Pedrad a lot, but there are so many talented women on the show right now that I can't think of anything she could do that someone currently on the show couldn't do instead.

    I'm sure she's a wonderful person in real life, but something about her obliviously confident stage persona makes me feel like every time she gets bored she just walks into the SNL writers room saying "Hey, I had some free time figured I'd give you guys a hand, do a few sketches this week, bail the new kids out a bit.

    You're close, Dan, hell is actually sitting in an uncomfortable chair listening to an 8-year-old describe the trailer for a movie he wants to see.

    The Dr. Evil sketch definitely felt, at the very least, under-rehearsed and under-written. Like everyone just assumed Myers would nail it and so they didn't want to risk pissing him off by making him come in for rehearsals or something, and like they either figured his performance would cover for any weak jokes or

    You can do both. You don't have to choose.

    I thought it was a fantastic little throwaway detail that it only took him about half a second to realize he was in Africa.

    My favorite part about Bender being Mexican was that it seemed like a random throwaway joke when they first mentioned it that you figure will be about as canonical as the materials that comprise 40 percent of Bender's body, but it ended up being pretty much the only thing about Bender's background that remained

    The Ally McBeal references were one of the first instances of the show doing something people would complain about a lot in later seasons (and act like the show never did until it changed networks) but I thought the idea of planets 1,000 light years away watching 1,000-year-old TV shows was a fun sci-fi concept.

    I don't know, considering that "good news" is the Professor's catchphrase, the line as aired sounds more like something he'd say.

    Am I correct in recalling that it was one of the first shows that regularly had surreal fantasy sequences depicting the wanderings of the main character's imagination?

    As a counterpoint, members of Lrrr's species are referred to as "Omicronians" which could imply that they consider "Omicron" part of their world's proper name and not just a prefix.
