"...and then Legolas and the Hulk destroy the entire Greek army." - Penny Arcade

One thing I thought was subtly done...(We're NAFDA here, right?)

When the officer tells Tarkin they have to evacuate the Star Destroyer, Tarkin glares in frustration for a moment. It makes a neat call-forward and adds a little texture to the decision he makes at the end of A New Hope.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Finally caught up and watched it. Was unfortunately spoiled for the character reveal due to them releasing a toy and there being discussion of that.

That bit with Tarkin was a nice touch.

Thanks! I need to change my season pass to the right channel, I guess.

Oh, that's where I'm seeing it. I wonder why the DVR didn't catch the first showing. Whatever, I'll see it, that's the important thing.

I have my DVR set to grab first run episodes on any channel because Disney seems to switch around what channel they show them on.

I tried to do that for a while, but it fills up my limited capacity for series recordings. The episodes eventually show up On Demand, if nothing else.

So this article makes the case that the Simpsons episode Flaming Moe's is really about how Sam Simon got cut out of credit for helping to create the Simpsons. It makes a whole lot of sense.

My memory of watching Flaming Moe's when it first aired was that was when The Simpsons changed for me from being this flash-in-the-pan TV show to something much greater. It just reached a level of perfection that I never saw in a TV show before, and it was able to sustain it for a long time afterwards.

RIP Sam Simon.
