My point is that living to 87 would be relatively unusual, but far from unheard of.

Yeah, my high school experience was NOTHING like that. What is this "friend" you speak of?

Actually, that's one of the few things Matt Weiner has ruled out.

Wow… that's a pessimistic assessment of Pete's chances of survival. You realize that would have him dying in his early fifties?

Benson? He's assisting Cosgrove on the Chevy account.

Megan as a walrus? Hm… that could only be an improvement.

Birthday parties, huh? Must have been nice.

I don't know, but I think they just broke Elvis Costello's "I Stand Accused"'s record for longest spelled sequence in a song.

Agreed… if you're going to sit down and watch Kids in the Hall, you might as well start from the beginning. If you're just looking to skim through the show and hit the high notes, a list of sketches makes more sense than a list of entire episodes. And if you ARE looking to take that approach, the last episode is a…

You realize you're talking about a "specific blow-up" that happened several weeks before the end, right?

Notable writers left after season 1. Also after Season 2. Chris McKenna, who worked on seasons 1-3, is coming back for Season 5. Etc.

I don't know why you think "season 4's showrunners weren't coming back anyway" — that's how it happened, but I don't think that was the intent.

I would certainly hope not, given that I'm not criticizing anyone. I did tweak my previous post a little, I'll admit — a couple of points in particular were a little underexplained, and could give people the wrong impression.

I'm not going to be holier-than-thou here. I've gone into a lot of movies and TV shows expecting, or hoping, or with an eye out for some kind of flaw to pounce on and magnify. It is the nature of things.

Don't know what you mean. I have no quarrel with anyone.

Not sure what you mean there. You could be imagining something, maybe?
