I had no idea Great Expectations had two endings. I'd wonder which one I read but I can't remember how it ends anyway. Oh wait, did we read this in school? I probably never got to the end.
Don't kill anyone if you don't have to. We're here to make a deal.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

The status is NOT quo.
Laga, the original ending was a lot more realistic. The one that got published was a everything-is-resolved-despite-obvious-reasons-why-it-shouldn't-have-been. Think the series finale of Roswell.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I don't think the revised ending resolves things, but that's your typical Dickensian essay question. "Compare and contrast the original and revised endings of Great Expectations, blah blah blah."

I remember enough to get the "Pip" jokes on South Park. Luckily I managed to avoid watching Roswell.
eta: anyway I prefer the Futurama explanation of Roswell.

What is even happening?

I suppose there's little chance you're Tricia Helfer's sockpuppet. I think my husband might make an exception in that case, but otherwise, he frowns on any making out in which I engage, that doesn't involve him. He's the one who campaigned for a dual-tuner TiVo, though -- so there's a connection.
Besides, can you get me Heroes AND whispering Jack Bauer at the same time? I think not.

Dana, totally true. I may be a tad biased.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Jericho showed people in cars using what I swear was rear projection.
Bones does it all the time, too.

Nice idea, poor execution. Although I do sometimes miss the Abs O'Doom (Max Evans, shirtless).

It won't be nearly as funny if I explain it. imdb
Basically the alien spaceship was actually bender and the alien autopsy was really Zoidberg.
