Underpants gnomes?

Most of the time it is, but not always. It is a biting social commentary after all.
Do you like John Williams? His early work was a little too jazzy for my taste, but when Jaws came out in '75 I really think he came into his own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and an air of consummate professionalism that really gives the pieces a big boost. He's been compared to Jerry Goldsmith but I think John has a far more leitmotif-driven style of composing. In '82 John composed this, E.T., his most accomplished album to date. I think his undisputed masterpiece is "The Magic of Halloween", a theme so catchy most people don't listen to what it means. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of childhood and the importance of friendship, it's also a personal statement about the man himself. Hey Paul!

OH God, Joe is posting again, someone hand me my pills!

"You're not John Conner, I saw you die, said Kyle". "I was only injured, replied John". "No, your injuries were too severe, you died. Look at you, where are your injuries? You're, you're a Terminator." "Kyle, its still me, yes my body was beyond repair, but my essence is here." He points to his head. "No John". Kyle raised his pulse rifle and aimed it at John but before he could fire, John fired first. Knocked to the ground Kyle looked up at the Terminator in the form of the man he once idolized. All hope was lost. "If you kill me how will you ever be born?" "Thats a good question Kyle, all this time we've focus on Sarah, on John, when had we known the it was you we should have targeted all along." John pointed his rifle at Kyle's face. "The resistance is finished, the battle is won. We the machines are the victors, salvation is ours." Kyle never heard the second shot.

Not a great episode, but slightly amusing, and kinda shocking in how brazenly anti-Disney it was.

I won't be the least bit surprised if Disney sues.

I have that, but we don't subscribe to the HD package. So when I press 249 for Comedy Central, I have to press channel up once and then back down to get to "normal" Comedy Central. Typing in any channel number manually automatically takes me to the HD equivalent, only to read the message that I'm not subscribed to it. And I can't seem to deactivate this by making a favorites list. It's aggravating.

There seemed to be a little Rorschach in there. The opening shot of the episode was a direct parody of one of the opening panels of Watchmen.

Well, if you read the Watchmen, not the movie, but the book. The opening shows the Comedian Pin soaked in blood and sort of zooms out to reveal the investigator standing at the broken window in the exact same way it zoomed out from the newspaper to Cartman.

the quest for a better episode is always continuing Ross, at least till the show ends this season.

Like Lost, South Park may well have seen better days.

Ah, but seasons 9-10-11 taught us that South Park can always come back from the gates of hell. And even generally unfunny episodes like this week's are fun to watch.

About Lost, I disagree with Dave. I think, if it keeps up like this, that this is one of the show's strongest seasons.
