No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

What does that mean, "master remix," exactly?

And yeah, that was an incredible routine. I loved the end bit where they were the band so much. It was perfect and crazy and a tribute but still stylized in that Jabba way.

aha! that's probably why Tivo couldn't find it, cause Randy had his name all over it :)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Okay, I finally saw the "History of" and it was awesome, as advertised. It was funny, though, they broadcast the ad for the finale right at the beginning of the episode, so I was all, well, lose the suspense, why dontcha? But I knew already, so oh well.

It sucks that they had to have their final routine all worked up but couldn't get to perform it, though, huh?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't remember thinking that the costumes as such were all that hot, except for the rip-away pants the girls had on -- they were unexpected.

I didn't mean hot like sexy, but I was really impressed with how the evoked the different era with different hats and taking of their jackets or whatever -- it was subtle, but definitely worked, IMO.

What is New Jack Swing?

It's a genre of music that was popular in the late 90's. Think Guy, Color Me Badd, BellBivDevoe, Keith Sweat, Johnny Gill, Tevin Campbell, Bobby Brown, etc.

Y'know, I remember a song that mentioned the New Jack Swing, but I didn't realize it was actually a type of music...I just though it was that song!! And looking at the wikipedia entry, those are all songs I love. Hee.
