Catch it while you can: the “Star Wars Holiday Special,” edited down to five minutes.
This definitely has an awesomeness problem.

I don’t watch SNL any more. But not doing so means I miss out on videos such as the following. Who knew Justin Timberlake was funny? If he was doing songs like this, I’d buy his CD. Maybe even give it five stars.
I’m really disappointed in Lee. This little affair he’s having with Cara is wreaking havoc on both of their marriages. I sort of expect such behavior from Starbuck because she’s generally pretty unstable and doesn’t always think things through, but Lee should know better. It’s not like he’s desperate; he already has a great wife in Dee, who is a much, much better catch. But it seems like he’s in love/lust with Cara and he truly wants to be with her. She, of course, applies her warped moral code to the situation saying that she can’t divorce her husband because “marriage is a sacrament.” Please. If she really believed that she wouldn’t be running around behind her hubby’s back.
Until I saw the “previously” scenes at the beginning of the episode, I had forgotten about the baby Hera. There hasn’t been any mention of her for some time, but now that Boomer and Athena have met, the cat’s out of the bag. I can understand why Athena would be pissed about Roslin’s secret, but she has to understand the logic behind it. Adama was none too pleased to discover the truth – but was he upset about the President’s actions or the fact that he was left out of the decision?
Down on the planet, it occurred to me that for being on tight rations for the last few weeks, the Chief certainly doesn’t look like he’s missed any meals. My first thought when he found the secret chamber was that maybe he stumbled on some form of alien life. Throughout the entire series, there hasn’t been a single mention of the possibility of non-human/non-Cylon life in the universe. I wonder if the series will ever explore that possibility.
The scene where the Cylons came with Baltar to Galactica to talk terms was pretty tense. I’m not sure why Caprica (Baltar’s #7) wasn’t with them – as it stood, Biers and Cavil did most of the talking.
That led into an intense sequence where Lee butted heads with Sam (Cara’s husband) over forming a rescue party for Cara (who will no doubt make it through unscathed) as the Cylons marched on their position. The Admiral is set to nuke the planet so that the Cylons don’t discover the chamber. I have a feeling the Chief will figure out the secret of the Eye before that happens.
What could be better than an hour-long episode of “The Office”? How about an hour-long episode that involves competing Christmas parties, Asian waitresses and lots and lots of drinking?
The episode got off to a great start when Dwight brought in a dead bird (was it a goose?) that he happened to hit with his car. How cool did he look in that orange stocking cap? It was a great exchange between him and Toby, where Dwight begs Toby to allow him to clean and cook the bird at the office.
Moments later, Michael sets up the rest of the episode when he announces that he intends to take his girlfriend to a resort on an all-inclusive vacation. His rendition of Eddie Money’s “Two Tickets to Paradise” was priceless. His girlfriend shows up and breaks up with him because he photoshopped himself into a picture she had from a vacation (with her ex-husband) two years earlier, and sent it out as his Christmas card. (I’m sure his awkward marriage proposal last week didn’t help matters, either.)
Jim: “It’s a bold move to photoshop yourself into a photo of your girlfriend and her kids on a ski trip with her ex-husband, but Michael is a bold guy. Is ‘bold’ the right word?”
Michael’s jovial mood quickly turns to depression, which manifests itself as he plays a sappy song clip over and over on his computer. I didn’t recognize the song, but it sounded like James Blunt (or some such crooner). Dwight asks, “Why don’t you just buy the song?”
Meanwhile, Pam extends an olive branch to Karen and the two become quick friends.
Jim: “Yep, it looks like the Scranton people and the Stamford people are finally coming together. And that’s what you want, right?”
Based on your delivery of that line, Jim, not so much.
Angela’s domineering attitude in the party-planning meeting gives Pam and Karen the idea to have their own (more enjoyable) party. The scene where the two opposing committees posted their flyers was great and Jenna Fischer’s comedic timing was on full display. Later, when Karen is asked if they are taking the party war too far, she responds, “I don’t think we’re taking this far enough.” She looks over to Pam, who says, “I just got goose bumps.”
Andy, who is trying to take residence up Michael’s ass, offers to take him to lunch, and Dwight and Jim go along. “Bro’s before ho’s,” Michael reasons. So it’s off to Benihanas, where they drink a lot of saki and egg nogs before returning to work (with two Asian waitresses).
Here are a few of the better moments from the two parties:
– Kelly’s karaoke, where she sang, “We belong together…Ryan!” while Ryan is pounding a margarita.
– Michael losing track of which waitress is “his,” and wisely marks her arm with permanent marker.
– Angela restricting Kevin’s intake of brownies. “You’ve got to be kidding!” Kevin exclaims. Angela responds, pointing at his belly, “You’ve got to be kidding!
– Meredith swaying back and forth with a bottle of vodka in her hand while Kevin sings karaoke.
– Angela suddenly “discovering” the power cord to the karaoke machine, hidden in a nearby planter. She’s a wily one, that Angela.
It looks like Jim is starting to realize that he’s still in love with Pam. His little speech to Michael about rebound relationships implies that he’s realizing that Karen was just a rebound for him. This happened more quickly than I expected, but I have a feeling that Pam will get back with Roy before Jim finally decides to make his move. However, I’m sure he’ll burn bridges with Karen first, ruining that relationship for good.
If I were him, I’d stick with Karen, at least for a while. She’s got a sick sense of humor, she’s hot, but mostly, she’s willing to admit she likes him. Pam’s great, but she’s too timid in the art of love.
And, at the end, who agreed to go on vacation with Michael? It has to be Jan, right?
What goes around comes around, right? So it would seem. You may recall that Rosie O’Donnell recently got into a scrap with Kelly Ripa over the latter’s reaction when Clay Aiken put his hand over her mouth on TV. Well now O’Donnell is taking flak for mocking spoken Chinese on “The View.” It went a little something like this:
In a Dec. 5 segment, O’Donnell joked about how Danny DeVito’s recent — and seemingly drunken — appearance on the ABC daytime talk show had become international news.
“You know, you can imagine in China it’s like `ching chong, ching chong chong, Danny DeVito, ching chong chong chong, drunk, “The View,” ching chong,'” the 44-year-old comedian said.
Apparently this did not go over well. When informed of this, O’Donnell replied,
“To say ching chong to someone is very offensive, and some Asian people have told me it’s as bad as the n-word. Which I was like, `Really? I didn’t know that.'”
Ah, Rosie, what will you do next? Nothing could be as patently offensive to the brain cells as your performance in Riding on the Bus with My Sister. Let’s all remember that now, shall we?
