I grew up in a small town, we had one public school and one private Catholic school, but we shared the same buses. I remember being a (public school) kid and thinking “wow, all of these girls must be huge Britney Spears fans to dress up like her every day.” It wasn’t until several years later that I realized I was an…

And that’s your basis for it’s efficacy? People do stupid shit all the time just because their parents did it. Show me a peer reviewed scientific study about what specifically works and you won’t see a complaint out of me.

Horses on a star destroyer seemed odd. The movie felt like they threw everything possible into the pot.

Tom Hanks wanting to be come the best man he could; placed all his worst qualities into Chet via an amalgamation of science and supernatural ritual. Chet is now the harbinger of Hank; a malign spiritual energy hellbent on escaping its flesh prison and dominating the world.

Poor David Spade and Kevin James are probably constantly checking their phones for their surprise call from DDL.

Yeah, I like Driver but the idea that storming out on Terry Gross is the apex of normalcy is an odd take.

The OP asked if this was “normal.” You seem to be saying “yes, this is normal.” I’m suggesting that it’s not “normal.”

“siri set a timer for nine hours and fifty minutes”

To me it’s the layers of absurdity. Not just that there is a planet of snakes, but that the planet of snakes history is basically our history, but with snakes. That the reaction to Jerry floating around isn’t “how is he doing that” but an indignant “you can’t do that in here”. The best episodes IMHO challenge your…

It's an episodic show though. It's not designed to be serialised beyond the larger continuity of the arcs. Heavily serialised shows being the norm is a relatively recent development.
