So aliens have been keeping Scully in stasis while a distraught Mulder has been sleeping under bridges and in bus stations?

Yeah, I stumbled across it channel-flipping one night and totally fell down the rabbit hole. The one about the Jamestown Massacre was pretty cool, too, but it looks like it’s not streaming anymore. (Made in 2002! Whoops, I am old.)

This was a really good episode. God bless archaeology.

Because of meth heads, nobody can get pseudoephedrine anymore. Something I think about every time my head fills up with cement due to a cold. Thanks, meth heads!

PBS has already granted your wish. "Secrets of the Dead: Death on the Railroad"

If you never drank Narragansett Brewery’s original Bohemian — $4.50 a case in 1980, minus $1.50 if you brought back the glass bottles — you know nothing about great shitty beer, Jon Snow.

Lincoln Chafee: Who? The Republican-Independent-Democrat from the Biggest Little State in the Union. Strength: While serving as a Republican senator, announced he wasn’t voting for George W. Bush’s re-election. Weakness: Appears to be running out of political affiliations to try on.

I came here prepared to argue, but...you are surprisingly accurate. I would slide Iron Man down to fifth, but I don’t think it’s ridiculous to put it first. All the movies in the top 5 are pretty unassailable.

There is absolutely no need to bring a patron’s age into the discussion. If you’re eating or playing quietly at your seat, I don't care if you're 2 and I don't care if it's a white-napkin restaurant, you deserve service.

You had me at “Legendary Astros Player.”

Yes, there was consensual use of ’Ludes in the 1970s. Yes, the 1970s were kind of fucked up. No, I do not believe Cosby intended to use them in a consensual way.

It’s a real “midterms are here and I’m thinking of dropping out” look.

By California standards, Lewis is dressed for an 8 p.m. wedding at an Episcopal cathedral, reception to follow at the Commonwealth Club.

I thought Pym Tech was in Mission Bay!

I endorse this movie:

You have to be able to let that stuff go. Try writing up a timeline for Empire Strikes Back; you’ll realize all the time Luke spent flying to Dagobah, training with Yoda and flying back had to be, like, a day and a half, given what happens with everybody else while he’s gone. Still the best Star Wars movie.

Equally fun in different ways, IMO. Just cause tacos are great doesn’t mean ice cream sundaes aren’t great, too.

Me too!

God, remember Letraset?

I left journalism to become a teacher, so I'll be over in the corner crying into my Four Loko during this discussion.
