A half-forgotten corner of France in a wholly-forgotten war. In memory of the heroes of the Lafayette Escadrille, who died in defense of life and of liberty. This monument, this patch of foreign sky, belongs to a handful of Americans who flew for France and died for France in the First World War. They came with an air of adventure or a sense of impatience in the days before America entered the war. The wore French uniforms, they fought in French planes, and they fell in love with French women. These weren't just names in 1917; they were headlines. But this story is about a man whose name isn't carved in stone with the other young men of that old war. He ran away to war for reasons of his own. His name is Thad Walker.

Everyone on the Internet was in love with "The Grinch". When asked if they enjoyed it, they'd say yes in a pinch. Jim Carrey's so funny and Ron Howard's a gem, and this holiday classic is perfect for them. Yes, the film seemed to make so many people happy, but the Grump of Channel Awesome found it all crappy.

[the Nostalgia Critic as the Grump glares]

Narrator:
He hated "The Grinch", every part of the movie. Please don't ask why, we're not sure how this could be. It could be his head wasn't screwed on just right, or perhaps it could be that his shoes were too tight.

Nostalgia Critic:
Why would shoes affect how I feel about something? I don't get that.

Narrator:
But the most likely reason of all, I should think, is the Grump thought his brain was two sizes too big.

On May 26th of last year, Francois Perrin arrived at Orly Airport in Paris wearing two different colored shoes. That was the beginning of the adventure of The Tall Blond Man with One Black Show. This man, chosen at random in the crowd, was to become the central figure in a fantastic spy story. Colonel Toulouse, head oa a certain secret service agency, used him to bait a trap for his second-in-command Colonel Milan, who was too ambitious for his taste. Toulouse convinced him that Francois Perrin under the code name "The Tall Blond" was an international superspy. It was easy; observed with a magnifying glass, any man's actions can seem strange and suspicious. But The Tall Blond somehow managed to avoid all the clever traps set for him by Milan and his agents. Christine, one of Colonel Milan's most successful operatives, not only could get nothing out of him, she even ended up falling in love with him. The innocence of The Tall Blond led Colonel Milan to his death, caught in his own trap, and so Colonel Toulouse was rid of his over-ambitious colleague once and for all. Maurice LeFebvre, The Tall Blond's closest friend, was an involuntary witness of the massacre and as a result suffered a severe nervous breakdown. Meanwhile, Francois Perrin, alias "The Tall Blond" and as innocent as ever, flew off to Rio with a huge trunk in which was hidden Christine, the spoils of his victory in this incredible combat. And then three months later...

Narrator:
Once upon a time... a long, long time ago... there was a mystical city, Tar. And at that time all the cities were intact and flourishing, because the final war had not yet begun. When the great catastrophe occurred, all the cities crumbled... except Tar. Tar still exists. If you know where to look for it, you will find it. And when you get there you will be presented with wine and water and play with a gramophone. When you get there, you will help harvest grapes and you will pick up scorpions hidden under white rocks. When you get there... you will know eternity. You'll see a bird that drinks one drop of water from the ocean every hundred years. When you get there, you'll understand life and you'll become a cat, phoenix, swan, elephant, baby and an old man. You'll be alone and accompanied. You'll love and be loved, sharing the same space... and yours will be the seal of seals. As you approach the future, you'll find... Ecstasy. It will overwhelm you and never abandon you.

There is a place where, every second, more than half a million gallons of water tumbles over towering cliffs three thousand feet wide. A place where it free-falls a spectacular one hundred and seventy feet before plunging into a seething cauldron far below. These thundering waters reflect Nature at its most powerful and most destructive, and its most magical and alluring. This is Niagara Falls. As one of the natural wonders, our love affair with Niagara has spanned the past three hundred years. Once, the Falls' foaming waters were feared and revered. Today, they have been tamed, and we enjoy them from as many vantage points as we can. Yet some are ready to risk death to experience these waters in all their raw power.

This is Lincoln, New Mexico Territory in 1880 as seen through the eyes of one man. His name was Pat Garrett. He was an officer of the law. He was a man who never backed down from anything or anyone in his life. He had only one weakness - his love for a half-wild boy who he regarded almost as a brother. The boy was William H. Bonney - known as Billy the Kid - and Pat Garrett knew how it must end for one of them if their friendship ever failed.

Narrator:
We are in India. From one of the sumptuous palaces of His Highness, the Maharana of Udaipur, we gaze upon a picturesque lake, about which an interesting story is told. According to a popular legend, one of the reigning maharanas of Udaipur was in love with a beautiful dancing girl, who was also proficient in the art of tightrope walking. By way of diversion, he promised the young lady half of his kingdom, if she succeeded in walking over this lake on a rope that was suspended above the water. Naturally, she accepted the offer. And when it was apparent that she was about to succeed, one of the maharana's ministers, who was not in sympathy with the idea, cut the rope, and consequently the girl fell into the water and was drowned. A stony grave in the bottom of the lake now commemorates her memory. And it is said that at night, when the moon is full, her ghost is seen upon a rope, running back and forth across the lake.

An idiot? Oh, no, you're no idiot, my love! What you are is an hysterical lunatic!

Nora Mainardi:
An hysterical lunatic? And who the hell is this Federica telephoning every ten minutes with that sexy voice of hers?

Mainardi:
Cut it out. This Federica, whoever she is, has got to be a client.

Nora Mainardi:
Sure, just like all the others. Whores: that's all they are.

Nostalgia Critic:
Hey, kids! You wanna waste some time? You must if you're wasting time watching my videos! It's time to review some commercials! Yes, the commercials of the '80s and '90s are back, here to give us that joyfully awkward world of colorfully selling out. Oh, what joy these bring. Even the worst ones can manage to summon a smile to a nostalgic mind. I love 'em, I love 'em, I love 'em! And we're gonna look at 'em again today! So, seeing how one special was called "We'll Be Right Back" and another one was called "After These Messages", this one I'm gonna entitle... "Exclamation Point".
