The show is just so...sharp. It makes the whole endeavor look really easy. I love that each episode takes us into a different little world, complete with hilarious guest stars.

Michael Cera is playing Scott Pilgrim? That's awesome! I actually don't know much about the Scott Pilgrim books, but I've heard they're great, and I've flipped through the first and loved the "Rating: AWESOME" joke, which I now want to steal and use in everything ever.

Michael Cera and Edgar Wright? Nice.

I really liked this post. I don't know that I have anything to say, but I felt like I had to say that because I clicked over here from IMDb thinking the post would be about something else (and then I saw the Doctor Who Motivator and thought it would be about something else), but then it didn't seem to be about "contemplating the pitfalls of excessive fandom," so I wasn't going to read it, except...I couldn't stop reading. I found the post very enjoyable, and a good read! I'm a Watchmen fan as well, and I'm hoping the movie is great; the fact that Zack Snyder clearly worships the source material is comforting (although, man, I was really looking forward to the Aronofsky version).

Finally, I have to admit to some embarrassment: I assumed you were a man until I read the comments. Which is horrendously stupid because I have lots of female geek friends who love comics. But it's still weird to have made that assumption, I suppose because it's so widely held it seeped into me by osmosis. So: thumbs up, geek girls forever!

Rob Thomas and the writers are big *Guitar Hero* fans. As other commenters have mentioned, video games have shown up numerous times on the show, and they're always portrayed authentically as opposed to just some images with bleeps and bloops. I really appreciate it.

It was a rat, hence the title, which is also a riff on Rob Thomas's first novel, Rats Saw God. It was clearly responsible for the smell that got the 09ers off the bus, but other than that, its purpose is a mystery. Perhaps a symbolic warning.

Oh man. If you thought "Silence of the Lamb" was the most emotional episode...you ain't seen nothing yet. That's all I'm saying. Also, hee. You are picking some of the best lines.

Glad to see you're enjoying the show! Just a word of warning: the next episode, "Silence of the Lamb" was supposed to air before AEFC (but the Christmas episode had to air around, you know, Christmas). So don't be surprised when your questions aren't answered. They'll be answered in "Clash of the Tritons." Which will provoke many more questions, I'm sure.
