There's no way Gen would've allowed people with the connections to the humans to participate in the experiment because it's a blatantly obvious conflict of interest. She's kind of an idiot.
I agree. At this point, it's totally tainted. It's supposed to be a test of four random humans' abilities to improve, and now it's just as much a test of Team Cockroach's ability to not screw it up too.

A long time ago, someone gave me a mnemonic device to remember which of the guys is Hitchcock and which is Scully, and it worked. But now I can't remember what the mnemonic device was and I'm back to not knowing which one is which. Can anyone tell me how they remember?
With his flat-top and his height, Scully kind of reminds me of Frankenstein (yes, I know it's actually Frankenstein's monster). So SCully is SCary like Frankenstein.

On Amazon, the episode before Midnight is "Forest of the Dead", the second episode of a two-part story. I'm surprised that Sara liked it, having not seen the first episode, but I do think that Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead combo would be a better choice for the canon than Midnight. Vincent & the Doctor and The Girl in the Fireplace are the only other two that I think would really stand a chance.

I agree that overall season 3 wasn't as good as the previous ones. However Jeremy Beremy and the last two episodes were outstanding. I actually like that the rules change as we go along because I feel the creators know where they're going.
Same. The beginning of the 3rd season was disappointing, but from Jeremy Bearimy on, it got its groove back.
Regarding the canon pitch, I'm a big Community fan. I'm in the middle of my Nth rewatch, and I own seasons 1-3 on DVD. But even I wouldn't have voted this episode into the canon. Pierce is obviously not missed, but I'm not sure any episode without Troy is truly canon. If I were brave enough to record myself giving a pitch, I'd submit either Epidemiology, Remedial Chaos Theory, or Basic Lupine Urology. (I think the L&O spoof would work well for our hosts.) Contemporary American Poultry, Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, and Pillows & Blankets might stand a chance too. -
That was a really fun game time. Great job, Tara!

I kind of wish the Doctor had taken the gun from NotTrump and shot the spider herself saying something about how sometimes you have to do things you don't agree with to show mercy. Better written than that, obviously, but something like she didn't want NotTrump to shoot the spider because he was doing it out of hatred and anger but she, the Doctor was shooting the spider out of sympathy and mercy. Sometimes it is the reason behind the action and not the action itself that matters.
That is *exactly* how it should have happened. Bravo!

blarghhh not this "I'm not homophobic/etc BUT..." again. (It's been attenuating off the last few years thankfully.) Get used to it, we're not visible to be all about YOU being virtue-signalled or w/ever, we're visible cos um, WE EXIST.
Amen!

British TV writers famously can't write Americans, but even by British standards, Chris North was written (and horribly acted) as such a ludicrous caricature.
Trump is a ludicrous caricature, and far more ridiculous than this Chris North character. I honestly think they didn't take it far enough.

Yep, that's where my mind went too.

I'm also not sure what the writers are doing with Eleanor and Tahani. Eleanor's always been into Tahani to the point where Eleanor being bi seems more canon than Eleanor being straight. But I can't remember any indications that Tahani returns Eleanor's interest. But the whole Kamilah line made me wonder if the writers are going to actually payoff all of the Eleanor-attracted-to-Tahani throwaway lines. I really liked Eleanor-Chidi, and it seems so weird for the show to build up to Eleanor-Chidi over two seasons only to left field and put Chidi with a new character and Eleanor-Tahani together. OTOH, I wouldn't mind exploring Eleanor-Tahani either!

Yep. Me too. And I never liked the Hiltons or other celebs of that ilk, but I still know exactly what she looks like.

I’ll take this opportunity to put forth my idea of John Cho as Magnum again.
I love this idea, as I think he can do anything. I pulled up his IMDB to see if he'd done any similar roles and discovered that he's 46. The man looks damn good! I would have guessed 38.
Finding out who Todd plays on YTW put the rest of the podcast into a whole new light for me. :)

Today's episode was excellent. Also, do we think MEJ's "Eric is dead. Long live Eric." was an intentional Parks & Rec Zorp reference?

If you can't find women and minorities funnier and more relevant than Colin Fucking Quinn you aren't looking that hard.
Amen!
Regarding game time, I actually watch Doctor Who pretty regularly and I still wouldn't have gotten Arthur Winters.
Also, I was really surprised/slightly disappointed that no one said "boner" as their outro line. I can't be the only one who thought that was coming (hehe), right?

Anyone interested in a rewatch before Season 3 starts? I think a new, fully spoiled conversation on here would be nice. I'm eager to see what everyone notices a second time through, knowing what we now know.

How, HOW is the SVU NOT a Nonac??? I get the logic of your analysis but come on, those clips! Those clips are just terrible. I'm going to find a way to watch that episode right now. That was so much fun!
Yeah, I also expected this to be a Nonac. It seems like a "so bad it's funny/enjoyable" kind of episode, not an actually good episode.

Love this/putting it on business cards.
Yay! You're welcome.

Normally I kind of zone out during the cannon presentation if it's a series I've never seen before, but I was fully engaged with this one. The presentation was great, and I'm now considering watching Fraiser. (The fact that known sitcom Scrooge Sarah D. Bunting enthusiastically voted this in helps a lot.)

...because I'd have to have heard of it?
I take it "Three's Company" is a pop culture blind spot for you? I'm only 30 and even I know that one.

I wanted people to be allowed to guess at the 2 point level was because some of the names - eg. Luke's - are sufficiently generic that they might be on multiple shows. And there were meant to be no repeats - sorry about that!
1I noticed one of those. Joe's Bar could also work for Grey's Anatomy. (Joe the bartender eventually bought the bar that came up in another question and renamed it.)

The latest episode was total nonsense. They took the only two relationships that were any good and basically destroyed them.
Talk about a 180 turn on Annie's character and Leroy's for that matter. Thank God this show has been cancelled.
What hot garbage.
I feel exactly the same. It's preposterous to say Annie had absolutely no feelings for Max. That's NOT what they actively showed us in the first half of the season. And I think Leroy cares far too much for Max to sleep with someone he knows Max is into. So not only did this show trash its production values and storytelling, it has now tanked its character development too. I can't think of another example of a show creating such garbage with such great actors. (I'm a huge fan of Adam Scott from basically everything, and I learned to really like Craig Robinson thanks to his role as Doug Judy on Brooklyn 99.)

I was already a little bummed to hear that Lithgow wouldn't be in the second season. And now the case revolves around this Chenowith character who seems designed specifically to annoy me. I'll give it a couple episodes, but I'm not excited for this season.

There really is so much potential for merchandise. I would buy a Janet doll if they made one.
Now you've got me thinking about an anatomically correct Derek doll. hahahaha

Thank you, Dave! That "How Soon Is Now" translation was a delight.
