Watching Season 4 of The Venture Brothers on Hulu. I'm on Episode 4, and we see Dragoon and Red Mantle getting sewn together and we learn that they were The Big Bopper and Buddy Holly, respectively. Also, I've noticed something odd about the way Brock holds people at knifepoint.
I don't have much real-world experience in this area, but are you supposed to hold people with the sharp edge of the knife pointing away from your victim?
Also, I recently got a collection of the complete scripts of Father Ted at an antique store (and inspired by this, I also have a volume of Blackadder scripts on the way from Britain). It's interesting to see how things change from the writing stage to the final airing. Sometimes, it's interesting (like how they decided to keep Mrs. Doyle's first name a secret despite casually inserting it in dialogue in an early draft of "Competition Time"), and sometimes... well, it turns out Father Jack was banished to Craggy Island after he tried to disguise himself as a nun to get into a girl's school. Knowing that, about 23 years after the episode was made, Graham Linehan decided to squander all the good will he made from creating three of the greatest sitcoms of all time by becoming a vocal and militant transphobe... Thank Jah that he decided against putting it in.
Also, apparently this scene from the last episode is what killed Dermot Morgan:
Apparently, Father Kevin kept flubbing his lines, and so Dermot had to keep doing the dance. Unfortunately, he was having chest pains and the director insisted on having him complete the scene before he could have it checked out. If things went differently, Dermot could have survived. Or he could have still died and left the episode unfinished.

Comparing the Universal Oneness of All Life to Yo Mama since 2010.
