Late in life i'm gonna try to round up funding for a time machine to send us back to the early 2000s, and then just use the money to revive tumblr and make a series of slides of bacon on boobs. I think it'll probably work.

The WHM guys seem to be toying with this idea lately, so stay tuned i guess.

Maybe the more useful observation is "It's hard to get people to watch unexciting things." Feel free to show 2 hours of people getting trench foot, but don't expect an audience.

OK that baby merchant song is amazing. "I'll have your baby for you" implies something very different from what he's actually offering.

It's got a lot of lazily self-aware stuff that mistakes saying anachronistic and fourth-wall-breaking stuff as inherently humorous without any additional work rather than something you can make jokes out of. A lot of the songs in season 2 (and some in season one) are good though, and only a few of them are…

That's probably why he spells it all out.

So you think she fled her home country of Blindfold?

Don't forget, it also had incredibly bad special effects despite being a supernatural action movie that hinged entirely on its special effects.

That was probably "Dominion" the show that's a direct sequel to the movie Legion, which has nothing to do with this series i think? They're only connected by the fact that neither was named well.

That thing was like a meta-horror movie about how enjoyable movie stars were stuck in that movie.

Well television hadn't been invented yet, so at some point it was going to come down to rereading a book you didn't like the first couple times or like, fishing. I think he made the right choice.

Interesting. In the Russian ones you get the sense that civil and military ranks were sort of interchangeable, and were desirable things to have, but weren't actually the day job for anybody high up. Like, someone would technically be a captain and this made him a bit more of a big deal, but he never interacts with a…
