Anybody see Robot Chicken last night? One of the sketches had Skeletor, Mumm-Ra, Cobra Commander and some bald dude commuting to work. Who the heck was that bald guy susposed to be? My brother finally decided it must be Lex Luthor but I disagreed because Luthor shoudn’t have eyebrows? Any guesses? ---

Note Superman was driving the hero car. And Luthor has eyebrows in most versions I’ve seen. ---

Dammit! My brother has told me about that episode a hundred times, and I missed it again! I so wanted to see that. ---

Yeah, that’s a pretty funny episode. I like the one with Voltron getting served and the bits on various animals. But perhaps the best clip has to be the Darth Vader-Luke Skywalker scene in Cloud City, with Mark Hamill doing Luke. I believe it was something along the lines of: Luke, I am your father. No! That’s impossible! And Leia is your sister! That’s…highly improbable. And so on. When is this show coming out on DVD? ---

I like when Vader reveals a crucial plot point for one of the movies that follows ESB and Luke says something like, “Now you’re just being ridiculous. If you’re not going to take this seriously I’ll be in my trailer.” And then Luke promptly storms off. What _really_ sucks though is that we’re not going to get any new eps until next year. Behold the power of Skeletor’s breakfast burrito! (Oh, and their spoof of Scooby Doo in another ep was priceless.) ---

I think that’s about the midichlorians, but the one time I saw it I was cracking up so badly it was hard to hear. ---
