If it makes you feel better, it's rocking a 90+ on RT right now, with a 7.8/10 average rating and 12/12 for Top Critics.

The Defenders is going to be 8 hours of the group trying to "break up" with him, and him not understanding. It's going to be endless hours of cringy niceguy interactions before Jessica eventually just punches him out of a window.

This show obviously got too little time, and Pushing Daisies got torched into nonsense by the writer's strike, but I agree with the spirit of what you're saying.

Unlike many "hey they should do this!" ideas for too-soon-cancelled shows, we actually know what Dead Like Me looks like without Fuller and the original cast.

In which Katie highlights an article that isn't there anymore. I hope the Wonderfalls retrospective gets reposted.

The only way I can sort of explain the choice to assume it's Walter is that they needed a synthetic to help maintain ship systems with Mother while the rest of the crew was in cryo, but it was still pretty stupid. So they saw "their synthetic" coming back, knew they needed him for the rest of the trip, and were more…

Not that I don't appreciate appreciate good old-fashioned shower murder in a horror movie, but what the fuck was the point of that scene? It was so gratuitous and so shehorned into the end.

But David assured him it was safe! Why would he lie?!?

It isn't like that at all. The article even sums it up quite nicely when it says: "You’ll understand the deeper purpose of Mexico’s industrial beers—particularly the claras—the first time you drink one as an easy, refreshing palate cleanser between sips of good tequila or mescal."

This is the most words anyone has ever written to say "Mexican beers are easy to drink, inoffensive, and have low abv so you can pound a bunch of them without getting torched. But if you'd actually like to taste a beer, you should get literally anything else. Unless that anything else is an American macrobrew."

The details themselves all sound either benign or "you should've expected this so why did it bother you so much" when I tell the story, but:

Given that OP is replying to his own post speculating about this guy, you can feel comfortable knowing that you liked garden variety fictional creepypasta, not a real story of trauma.

Based on Dwayne Johnson's downright Trumpian (Trumpish? Trumpy? what's the preferred adjective) response to critical dislike of Baywatch, I'm somewhat less enthused about him than I was previously.

The first rule of David Lynch is don't believe David Lynch.

Because I was a big fan of the show and consider myself to be a (relatively) well-adjusted adult and going to a screening was, frankly, a deeply unpleasant, upsetting experience that I never want to suffer through again.

By "get" I didn't mean I literally don't understand how they work or why they're the "endgame" for those games. I poured more than my share of quarters into arcade machines in the '80s. What I meant was I don't get why people still care about them in a competitive fashion. The notion of fighting over the top score of…

That's super cute, but (knowing nothing about your son and little about autism), please make sure you do some research about what actually going to a taping is like before you take him.

After being a dedicated fan of the show for a few years, attending a taping of The Price Is Right was one of the most singularly soul-eviscerating experiences of my life. From beginning (you have to show up at the studio before 5 a.m. to claim a ticket) to ear-ringing end some eight-ish hours later, it was, frankly,…

Ah, yes, the good old days, when I cared deeply about this linguistic debate. And then, for unspecified reasons, one day I just stopped caring and use both pronunciations interchangeably, as if to specifically spite my younger self, who would've been horrified if I pronounced it like peanut butter or who would've been…

We can never be sure anymore, honestly. Has science gone too far?
