Law and Order was just a way for an old reactionary white guy to make cops look good at a time in the late 90's when people were slowly becoming aware that the NYPD was a criminal organization (again... because Serpico and every other movie about corrupt New York cops and all that).

I always get a bemused look when people tell me there’s nothing on Netflix and then each month they add 15 original complete series to the roster that they aren’t ever going to remove.

It is weird when people attack Netflix for not adding value to the service when they’re one of the few streaming services that isn’t removing their content.

Dude was the original “cancel” because he thought making fun of Asian people was the best counter to white people being racist against Native Americans. He had to get out of that box because white people kept telling him his political acumen was beyond reproach and he had, likewise, surrounded himself with nothing but…

Jon Stewart paradoxically is a better political animal and advocate than he was when he was alternating between limp-lipped calls for sanity, fanboying Obama uncritically, and pissing off his co-hosts with awkwardly racist impersonations of Herman Caine.

Patissieres work in Patisseries.

She’s another one-season companion like Martha Jones and Donna Noble.

They’ve canceled *almost* all of their shows after three seasons, so YMMV. They’re definitely pinching pennies and I’m pretty sure AppleTV+ is being imagined as a perpetual loss leader packaged with peoples’ phone bills.

There’s a lot of messy racial politics reasons.

Dude is saying, “Stop whining about intimacy coordinators, you weirdos, they’re there to protect you, too.”

I mean, he also created Farscape, and that show is evergreen. Alien Nation probably, definitely holds up.

God, this really takes me back to my childhood. I would always copy Sikes’ ceiling pounding every time the episode came on.

It’s a weak supernatural horror but a pretty solid psychological thriller revolving around a pair of gaslighting sociopaths and their plan to kill off one of their ex-girlfriends and get away with it.

If they had kept all of that ending but replaced the fight with Ellie asking Abby about Joel and the Fireflies, I think it would have paid off even more. Have that image of Joel bloody happen when she takes Abby down off the cross instead of when she gets on the boat. Then when they get to the boat, Ellie just talks…

Reminder: the only real way to level up is to catch Pals and all Pals are worth the same XP.

Part of the strategy is figuring out how much damage your Pal does and then timing when to pull them back into the sphere so you can throw yours to catch the target.

It’s not a scam. It’s a fun game with a simple loop that the writer hasn’t figured out because he wants to build a machine gun at level 4 and is stuck crafting all day instead of doing the thing that gets you experience -- Catching Pals.

That tip seems counter-productive. You have to be a high enough level to unlock the saddle to ride it once you’ve caught it and if you’re getting one-shotted then you’re too low a level to ride the Pal you’re telling people to get in the first place.

If you catch a Tanzee at level 4 and give him a harness, he wields an assault rifle. You can then carry him around and use him as your assault rifle.

1. You can buy a gun at any level you want to if you go North East to the desert city. It’s very expensive. But there are several ways to automate free cash (like farms and low level cooking you can set up around level 6 or so).
