Oh, my god. There are TWO more episodes of this? What more can they have these hapless designers do? And last week’s episode was two hours, people. Really, the only good thing about that overlong episode was the elimination of Layana.
Wait–tonight’s episode is also two hours long. Thank the gods that Scandal is a repeat. Continue reading
So here we are with episode 10, which is the season’s Xmas episode (thanks for delaying it Ennn Beee Seee.) This week’s episode synopsis (from wiki): Community Season 4 Episode 10 “Intro to Knots” – Jeff (Joel McHale) organizes a lovely holiday gathering at his apartment but Annie (Alison Brie) secretly invites Professor Cornwallis (recurring guest star Malcolm McDowell), to get in his good graces. When it becomes apparent that Professor Cornwallis intends to give them a bad grade on their joint History paper, the atmosphere quickly deteriorates and the group takes decisive action.
I thought last week’s muppet episode was quite entertaining especially the hallucinogenic berry scene with Brad Pitt wigged Jason Alexander (and the fact Britta was holding.) Apparently, this is one of the episodes done after Chevy Chase’s uncomfortably racist comments and subsequent dismissal from the show. Chevy’s lines were recorded as part of his agreement with the producers. It’s Merry Xmas, Community fans. Continue reading
I have been on a quest to travel the length of North and South America by land. I just returned from my fifth trip– a bus ride from Guatemala City to Panama’s Darien Gap.

I will be writing more posts on Crasstalk about my recent Central America trip.
I’ve had friends of various types throughout my life. But the first time I ever encountered the phenomenon of internet-only friends — “nonlocal acquaintances” — was about six years ago. Continue reading
Despite the 27 (nope not possible) 15 hour time difference, two of your favorite Crasstalk NBA enthusiasts were able to get together over gchat (h/t to Bots for the idea) to talk about the upcoming NBA Playoffs. Here’s a transcript of the conversation I had with BaldwinP last weekend. Continue reading
Both Man of Steel, the Superman movie franchise reboot, and Star Trek released their third and possibly final full-length trailers. As a die-hard fan of both Superman and Star Trek, I cannot help but notice that these trailers present very divergent understandings of their respective source material. I look at both these trailers and think that both are visual feasts, but only the Man of Steel trailer gets the essence of the source material, while JJ Abrams’s Star Trek Into Darkness trailer highlights action and adventure, but precious little else to distinguish it from any other large-scale space opera.
