I join in on this roundtable. Just TRY to get the theme song out of you head.

The Television Podcastulacra » Episode 049: “The Darkest Timeline”

This week:

  • Community ended its fourth (and surprisingly not final) season with an episode that inspires some disagreement.
  • Elementary pushes the Moriarity story along, perhaps a little too forcefully.
  • Lost continues to limp through the Cage Arc, with “Every Man for Himself” (bunnies!), “The Cost of Living” (Father Kickass!), and “I Do” (Nathan Fillion!). A long meditation on this, the weakest stretch of the series by far, follows.
  • The Skype recorder cut off the last few minutes of the show, so J. had to record a new ending, himself, on his phone, in the car. The things he does for you.

The Television Podcastulacra » Episode 048: “53 Weeks Later”

It’s our one-year anniversary! And how better to celebrate it than by recording an episode and having it delayed going up for over a week and a half due to technical issues!

On the show itself, we discuss DS9’s “Civil Defense,” “Oh Dear God Kill Me Now” “Meridian,” and “Defiant.” But first, Community tries to tell its origin story, and Elementary remembers to talk about Moriarity again.

Look for this week’s actual episode tomorrow. It’s about Lost, and how idiotic the Cage Arc is. Hooray.

[NSFW - animated genitals]

YOU GUYS. YOU GUYS YOU GUYS.

I found this buried in an external hard drive while cleaning out space. It’s a clip from the 1973 animated French film Fantastic Planet. What’s so special about it? It’s my contribution to my final MIDI II class project, in which each member of the class was given a clip from the film with all of the sound removed — our job was to create our own and dub it back in. So everything you hear in the clip I wrote, arranged, performed and mixed myself. IT’S SO COOL YOU GUYS. (Well, for me. You might hate it.)

A couple of notes:

    Don’t try to understand what’s happening. This is the second-to-last sequence in the movie, where the tiny humanlike aliens are plotting a voyage to the titular planet to try to find a place to live away from the evil, gigantic aliens who hunt them like vermin.
    All the dialogue is practically unintelligible. This was a class decision, since we decided they were aliens and shouldn’t really be speaking English. And in the original, they were speaking French. So, we decided to record ourselves saying all the dialogue, then mask it with a synthesizer to make it sound “alien.” My suggestions were not used for any of this, but we were all required to use the same filter.
    The idea was for all of the scenes, of course, to be put back in order and played in sequence as a full film. (This would have worked much, much better if everyone had actually finished their project on time.) On finals day, instead of taking a test, we watched the finished product (with gaps where the lazy students’ scenes were supposed to be), and I wish I had a copy of that. Not all of it was good, but it was an incredible collision of styles, from modern hip-hop tracks, to jazz, to pure ambient sound, to (I swear to god) one scene scored with a note-for-note lift of the Harry Potter theme.
    I know I told you not to try to understand what’s happening, but I’ll give you some more context, anyway: at the very beginning of the clip, a bunch of humans are sitting together being educated by an alien headband that, essentially, teaches you by reading encyclopedia entries into your brains. Like The Matrx, only slower.

Enjoy. Though you won’t enjoy it as much as I do.

It was a recipe for disaster, clearly. No matter what Wells and the newly empowered writing staff did, they would be judged against the bar Sorkin had left for them. Failing to clear it was probably inevitable. A catastrophic failure, however, was not, and that was what came to pass: a miserable slog of a season, one that piled failure atop disaster atop calamity, until the entire enterprise virtually collapsed.

On our next podcast episode, we’re going to discuss the first three episodes of the third season of LOST. I’m both looking forward to and dreading this.

I’m looking forward to it because season three is really fun in some places, introduces some of my favorite characters, and has some of the show’s best episodes.

I’m dreading it because season three is pretty crap in a lot of places, and spends a pretty good chunk of time shuffling its feet.

In the West Wing episode “Manchester,” there’s a scene where Sam is having a mild argument with Connie, a political consultant brought in to help the President’s reelection campaign. They’re discussing Doug, Connie’s colleague, who is kind of a surly prick.

Sam says, “You know, sometimes it seems your job is to wait until Doug leaves the room and then say, ‘What Doug MEANT to say was…’”

Connie says, “Sometimes it’s my job to say it when he’s in the room.”

Substitute me for Connie, Robby for Sam, and LOST for Doug, and you’ve pretty much got it.

(Bonus: the actor who plays Doug plays Dave on LOST.)

I’m pretty sure I had that pink Care Bear when I was a kid. Mine had much better laser vision, though.
