...Throughout the episode, Averell was prone to non-sequitur outbursts, such as “Put on some pants—it’s time to dance!” or a long session of scat-singing while jogging to a clue...
...Editors are masters of the non-sequitur. While it’s no surprise that their video for “Munich” is unrelated to the song—they do, after all, try painfully hard to be arty—nothing seems to be related to anything else at all here. The title and the visuals seem to be totally unrelated to the lyrics, which are a fairly standard sub-Interpol: elliptical and dark...

True, today's young schizophrenic is less likely than yesterday's ever to have been in a mental hospital. That does not mean that he is not mentally...
