<crash> "But that's a priceless Steinway!" "Not anymheur."

For me, it's "Do you have a leesahns for this minkey?"

I gave up on something I was watching last night because I couldn't take seeing abused animals every commercial break. All of my pets have been rescue pets and I contribute to 2 local rescue groups. You know how USHS and SPCA could raise a mountain of money? Offer a Get Out of Seeing Our Ads card for a $100 donation.

Will Jon's company be producing Stephen's tenure on the Late Show? Letterman's company--Worldwide Pants--produces it now.

Jenkins and DuLac must be the same sort of entity, whatever that is, because in the previous episode Jenkins started to say "WE aren't that easy to kill" then changed it to "HE isn't" when told about DuLac jumping from the plane.

And that's why you should never speak to them without a lawyer. You always have the right to remain silent.

It's true: When Brian Blessed is around, no one can hear anything but Brian Blessed. (Who is totally awesome, btw.)

Many people in CT say libarry. At first I thought they were trying to be funny but now I think it's a regional thing. It's sometimes difficult not to respond with "library does have 2 Rs but they're not next to each other." And sometimes I wonder if it's liberry and there's pie involved. If so, count me in.

"String of consonants" suggested eastern European to me.

Oh, thanks a bunch. Now I'm going to have Annie, Get Your Gun stuck in my head all night. Can you bake a pie? No. Neither can I. I once saw an amusing fan vid to this song featuring Picard and Ryker.

My very favorite thing about the Sixth Doctor is that the first thing he did was try to kill Peri. If only [sigh]. If he'd tried to kill Mel, too, he'd be my favorite Doctor ever. Peri is much more tolerable in the Big Finish audio plays. Granted, there was no way she could be worse.

Since DuLac was introduced I've been waiting for someone in the show to mention Lancelot, so I like the theory that he was Lancelot and Jenkins was Arthur or one of the other knights. It doesn't mean they weren't lovers. I would be thrilled to bits and pieces if they'd lose both Cassandra and Ezekiel.

To me, Clara and Amy were both examples of showrunners insisting the character is superspecialsnowflake by having all of the other characters say so over and over instead of showing the character doing something remarkable. The more it's told and not shown the more I distrust and dislike the character. As for companions, the only one I've really liked since Moffat took over was young Amelia Pond.

It's always a pleasure seeing Bruce. However, I'd be a lot more willing to just go along for the ride if they would stop dressing Cassandra like a 12 year old.

The female nudity with no male nudity has driven me away. I made it to episode three, but that's it. I've had it.

Well, Baird's American. It's amazing she said Alberta and not Toronto.

Now that I think about it, why Randy Newman and not Stephen Sondheim on piano?

Check the Farewell and Final Week threads--there are several links.

Bruce makes everything better. I hope there's a shout-out to at least one of the following: Autolycus, Brisco County, Elvis, Sam Axe. I know Evil Dead is more likely, but the others would make me so happy.

I've read complaints that the end was predictable. That's not a problem in a finale, imo. I expected Neal would fake his own death to begin life somewhere else. To me, the path was set a long time ago and, as plot elements that have been foreshadowed should, it happened. To me, that's satisfying. And I'm happy that everyone lived somewhat happily ever after. I have seen more than enough endings that come out of nowhere so the showrunner can play gritty auteur and/or provide shock for the sake of shock. Thinking of USA shows in particular, I'm glad WC hewed closer to Psych than the fuckedupness of Burn Notice.

There are excellent links in the other thread. I highly recommend the Slate annotated video.

It wasn't bad (and there are a couple of posts in the Alex thread), but he'll never top his appearance on The X Files.

cassandle, the dancer is ballet dancer David Hallberg. I asked over in the other thread and got an answer.

What truly amazes me about both the movies and the show is how accurately they portray the profession.

I watched again just to look for Hans but if he was there, I couldn't spot him. ETA: Thanks, SusieQ! And walnutqueen! EW also has a breakdown of celebs with pictures.
