Thank you for not making this a slideshow - and on an unrelated side note (well, brought on by the reminder from the phrasing), happy Thanksgiving Kotaku.

Disney executives: why couldn’t she have been the other kind of mermaid, with the fish part at the top and the lady part at the bottom??

Sheez, who picks the stock pictures for these articles?

Tim is a genius—or he certainly was in his most creative years.

The problem a lot of people seem to be unable to fully grasp is that an unfaithful adaptation isn’t necessarily a bad one. The Witcher Netflix series while not faithful to the source material is a great series. The same is true for the video game series.

John Carpenter’s The Thing is completely unfaithful to the source…

I’m a non-practicing Jew and this does not bother me at all. It’s not like Jews are poorly represented in Hollywood. As Mel Brooks said, “if it wasn’t for Jews...there wouldn’t be a theater.”

So The Onion has this “joke” whenever a mass shooting happens they run the same headline “‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happen”.

This story is missing the really cool context: this episode all began with one Deviantart image by a Simpsons fan.

They also left out Carnivale. I loved True Blood but it’s a bad show! Which is part of what makes it enjoyable.

Thank you—and thanks Mike, rest well, you made a lot of people happy. Truly Fahey was the best of us.

It’s incredible to me that they said for so long they can’t stop providing service because that would be political, then eventually decide things got a little too political and so stopped providing the service.

Sepinwall made what I thought was a very interesting point: "Sometimes, when spinoffs bring back characters from the parent series, it’s to remind you of why you liked them in the first place. Both of Walt’s appearances here have instead played up his most insufferable qualities, giving you the worst version of Walter…

Yea I’m not seeing what exactly about the trailer is triggering people to mock....is the protagonist thinking over her situation too meta or something?

Something I just realized after finishing this episode: Jimmy is always at his most vengeful when people attempt to hold themselves accountable. Note how his true rage at Howard started when Howard confessed that he felt responsible for Chuck’s death. When Kim comes in to sign the divorce settlement, his performance…

Jeff just gunning it straight into the back of a nearby car for absolutely no reason.
