Who disparages Inca Mummy Girl?! Xander-centric episodes are to be appreciated like the precious rare gems they are.

Tell 'im, Steve-Dave!

If it makes you feel any better, I think the term Mr. Thompson should be using is "widower."

Bad guy Beefy Cheesesteak is pretty great, though. Becoming a little more unhinged each week, a slight hint of camp. When he busted out "I'm everybody's type" an episode or two ago, I found myself hoping they'll find a way to keep him in the narrative as an ongoing villain.

This comment is fantastic performance art from the very first sentence.

I'm sympathetic to the position that once (Daenerys) was already too much, and in light of the fact that it was largely ignored in the narrative that followed, it's all the more troubling now that it's happened again. The first time turned out to be cheap exploitation, and now they're doing a victory lap with it. Or

Got it. The objection wasn't preserved, so the subject can't be discussed. Everyone move along!

A low-rent Phoenix Saga with 24 as a half-assed intergalactic alien god. Just because if there's any justice he should never actually die.

We all need to know how the Catclops/Girl Hitler relationship is going.

Agreed on Curry.

Reasonable take.

Nothing meanders pointlessly like "Tommyknockers." Jesus, that one was tough to get through.

The movie version of "It" was stomach-turning. Not for any sense of horror, but because it was flat-out awful D-movie garbage.

Chico and Missing are correct. Also, King inadvertently slips into Darkly Comic Omniscient Voice from time to time, and it's generally (always?) entertaining. This passage was a nice marriage between the two.

I was genuinely creeped out by Pet Sematary's ending which was a mix of protagonist insanity and WTF native occult imagery. 'Salem's Lot was also good. I liked Under the Dome, yeah, what of it? And the ending to Danse Macabre—never saw that shit coming.

Harold was a pretentious douche. The eventual end to his character arc was particularly satisfying.

King presciently predicted millennial preteen relationships.

20-something Gary Glitter and Pete Townshend paging Ryan Murphy.
