That's one of the great things about the first season - the "survival narrative" aspects of the story are still present. The castaways are still just trying to get food, water, and shelter, and still coming to grips with the fact that they're cut off from civilization. And that something might be hunting them. …

Ha does an absolutely wonderful job on Top 10. He makes one of the most visually overstuffed projects ever seem clear, distinct, grounded, and so very human - quite an accomplishment. And just the sheer variety of costume, character, tech, and architectural design is amazing. But I'd have to argue that O'Neill had…
You've given me a great idea: I'm gonna make one of those in a scene from GF. The perfect excuse to replay it to find the right moment (if I can get it working).
Nad@al.
The satire needs to be at least partially intentional.

Well, the horror of zombies is that they're a mass of humanity stripped of all individuality, right? So, the opposite would be a bunch of monsters that all think they're so goddamn special. Thus: a whole society of sneering, hipster CHUDS creating a dark mirror of life above - "We can't even get TV down here!"
They even had Zombie Wipeout in the channel-surf bit at the end!

I want Timmy to get one more. And for him to have a singular, unforgettable playoff game, though Spoelstra and the Heat D have proven to be too good for that.

I love that they're emphasizing the quilting on the Shocker costume these days - it makes the outfit look thrown together, and makes Herman look more than a little crazy with it on.
It looks very Peter Chung/Pander Brothers to me.
Screw those people. Pulido was absolutely killing it.
Oh, it's totally fucking obvious, even before Canseco started naming names; his power numbers before and after would make a graph like a thumbtack lying on the ground, and comparing the stringbean on his Mets cards to how he looked in the mid-nineties makes the whole thing a head-slapper. It just hurts to think my…
That moment when a hard, unyielding angle tests its mettle against the unbroken perfection of a circle? You have no idea.
My personal stake-through-the-heart of steroids revelations was that Dykstra was almost certainly juicing in '93 - when he had one of the most exciting seasons from a Phillie I've ever seen, where every plate appearance crackled with energy and possibility.
Him and Wild Thing, of all people!
