Toffeenut lattes really bring me back, like four years back to my first term in SMU where people like myself, Eric, Zal, Dorothy and Wanida would be holed up in the then-fishbowl-for-a-studio studying and go on coffee runs (complete with triple shot lattes on some days).

The opening sequence
Totally something out of Lost. Seeing the car crash and a piece of debris hurtle towards Mark reminded me of the guy getting sucked into the engine in the pilot of Lost. Nice setup, if a [...]

33.5 million people have seen a few hundred prison inmates dance to Michael Jackson’s thriller and you should too. It’s actually pretty amazing.
