Too bad you can’t go back and time and do that to “Stealth”

@Lewis: just Wrather. The rest of us are concentrated in NYC and the greater Boston area. We’d definitely like to have an Overdrinking It event sometime, somewhere, though. One idea was to go to the theater, see an awful summer blockbuster movie, and proceed to rip it to shreds while drinking at a bar.

@Gab: I fondly remember seeing “V” when it first aired, I must have been around three or four at the time which says a lot for my mother’s parenting skills at the time but I may have caught the follow-up and seen the original later in life. Either way, I imagine the lady giving birth to a lizard will look more “authentic” than the ’83 rubber lizard version (please tell me that someone gave birth to a lizard baby in that show, I need to trust my memory on that one).

From the podcast it seemed like more than a few of you live in LA. Do you guys ever get together at a bar or pub for an evening of overdrinking it?

@cushman: Yes. Which is one of the reasons I think it may have a chance of being really good. They’re going into it with a set plot arc, so the potential for series-killing “filler” episodes is a lot lower. This isn’t necessarily *because* it’s a remake, though, since I think this applies to any series.

@gab Re: “V” — isn’t this a remake of the ’83 miniseries?

A bunch of the Firefly folk provide voice work for Halo 3: ODST. Fillion is in all ur entertainments.

@Lee – Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize is like the Jonas Brothers getting their own version of “Rock Band”

@mlawski – Yes, people should watch Community.

Jim and Pam finally tied the knot (twice, in fact). As much as you cringe when you realize a favorite show of yours is going down the toilet when the two romantic leads actually go through with the “business” as it were, “The Office” has managed to pull off the rare example of a TV hook-up that not only works, but doesn’t kill the show (of course, it helps that it’s more than just “The Jim and Pam show”).

In other other news, if you watch Community, you may enjoy this music video:

In other pop culture/political news, Hillary Clinton got involved in the Cory Booker-Conan O’Brien feud, saying, “As secretary of state, my job is to strengthen ties and improve relations, whether it be between nations around the world or between the mayor of a midsized American city and the host of a mildly amusing late-night talk show.” She then went on to say, “Let’s just chalk it up to Conan’s head injury and be done with this whole mess.”

And Obama gets the Nobel Peace Prize?!

@Lee -

Apoc: No one’s ever made the first jump.
Mouse: I know, I know. But what if he does?
Apoc: He won’t.
