Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

"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.

Wasn't there a movie? New Jack City? I seem to remember the immortal line, "Sit your five dollar ass down before I make change."
