Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

The original V miniseries was awesome. It had echoes of Nazi Germany in the persecution of scientists and a very real sense of what it would be like to organize a resistance movement in the U.S. The second miniseries and the series had their moments, but they're also what gave me the conviction that "human-alien baby" equals "jumped the shark."

Remember when Diana unhinged her jaw to eat the rat?

I liked the flicking lizard tongues.

yes, they even had the elderly neighbor who'd been in a concentration camp. He was the one who started the "V" symbol.

The only thing I really remember from V is that the rats were made of chocolate.

One of the actresses in an interview got asked about having to eat the rats and she said they were actually made of chocolate so it was fine. That's the detail that stuck with me.

Oh, okay. That is less ridiculous. I thought you meant the rats were really made of chocolate on the show. I would rather have chocolate rats!

"Cougar Town" ???

I think that's actually about a sports team and there's another show that's like MILF Island, but I could be entirely mistaken.

If Willy Wonka gets co-opted by the alien invaders we are all in trouble.
