You're right. We should all stop discussing this show on this TV discussion board.

Yep. As they say "Words mean things."

Ah, so you're saying this episode had nothing to say at all? In that case, you're wrong. They pretty clearly stated the moral at the end of the episode.

Lies! Lies and slander!

Steven U gets the accolades, TTG gets the screentime. Poor Gumball is under-appreciated, IMO. WBB is still new enough that it remains to be seen.

I'm also confused by what you're trying to say. What does Neddy's role in the kingdom have to do with it? Are you saying he's a tragic victim, the Prometheus of the Candy Kingdom? Or are you just pissing all over Mr. Foley for no reason?

Yeah, I thought that too. Princess Bubblegum is full of lies and mystery, pretty much anything they add to her backstory is plausible.

There is a such thing as working from home. Neddy's role in society could be analogous to that.

I didn't see it as saying people who are different should be isolated, I saw it as saying that if people are happy being alone you shouldn't force them to socialize or change.

That sounds like the ideal Boy Scout experience, to me. Ours was… less ideal, lol, but certainly memorable. My first troop was Troop 16, which was situated out of our church (though we did allow some BOYs from atheist families, something not officially condoned by BSA). We were a mess, always getting into trouble…

They haven't had a black Black Ranger since the first one. Isn't that some sort of reverse discrimination?

I don't think anyone should water down their screenplays to be more marketable, but as my teacher used to say you need to know how to follow the rules in order to know how to break them.

I'd really love to see multiple drafts of scripts. I think it would be instructive (and interesting) to see the differences. In my screenwriting class we read the scripts to both versions of Bottle Rocket.

When I first left home for college and was trying to make friends I showed Cut to a group of people during a horror movie night. None of them liked it, and they certainly didn't "get" it, complaining that the villain's motivations made no sense (they make a hell of a lot more sense than Jigsaw, if you ask me). In…

Yeah, that sentence goes in so many different directions that I have no idea what he's trying to say. Why bring up extinction? The child's organism? Is that like a pet alien?

Yeah, but in the world of an Exorcist movie the solution is just to invoke Christ to get rid of the demon.

Yeah, exactly. I have heard the argument that it was only supposed to be a genre exercise played straight, and I love those. But if you're going to do that you need much more interesting characters Blandly Hot Nice Tough Guy and She's a Strong Female Character Because She Knows Kung Fu.

I'd say you're right, considering it was a $5 million budget with no advertising, but apparently Hasbro made a new studio and that was its first movie.

I've never heard of "Pizzaslime" yet it somehow makes a wave of 90s nostalgia pour over me.

Man, I do not understand why nerds went arse over teakettle for Pacific Rim. I mean, I love giant robots fighting giant monsters as much (nay, more!) than anyone else, but that movie was mediocre with a lower-case "m."
