Well, that's kind of the point though. Near the end you get to look back on what has survived for posterity. It's not about buying the current games. It's about enjoying what came before with the benefit of our collective hindsight, being able to know which weird little game someone championed is worth it.

Yeah, that's definitely part of it. That and the fact that its us of kind of surrealism and sometimes magical realism set it apart from what normally passes for quality television.

Eh, Six Feet Under was incredibly uneven, and True Blood was often fun soapy vampire schlock until it disappeared up its own ass.

Nono, I mean, Sue and Reed. The idea of hooking Sue being black and hooking up with Reed Richards would make a lot of people blow up.

I dunno. The adoption angle seems kinda weird to me too. Like they just decided to make them adopted so that they wouldn't have to depict an interracial romance.

Eugene Mirman's done proppy bits. The napkins and stuff.

Well, he can't go on Grindr now can he?

Basically Hubbard copied a cross from a Mission in Arizona. Hubbard claims to have 'discovered' it in the fifties, but the Church only really started using it in the late sixties. Hubbard basically ordered Auditors to dress like priests and to wear the modified cross so that they'd look legit.

Basically Musk and other members of the paypal mafia funnel money to startups run by that clique. Thiel's really the center of it, but his whole clique, which Musk is a part of, basically started when Thiel decided to befriend reactionary students as a reaction against what he perceived as a postmodern feminist…

Actually, Musk hangs around with a pretty unsavory crowd. Musk is tight with Peter Thiel and Keith Rabois, who have pretty fucked up politics and ties to far-right weirdos like Curtis Yarvin. It's really hard to find this out by looking at Wikipedia though, because wikipedia leans pretty hard to the right.

He was actually undergoing chemo during the shoot, and radiation during the editing process.

Mmmmno. Interstellar was garbage that thought it was important, and the AV Club review pretty much sums up why. vOv

I was thinking more of the Guess Who's Coming to Dinner sketch wheres Scott blacked up.

Glee recaps are interesting and it seems like there's always something to talk about, even if it's just the unique panoply of ways the show is a horrible mess. Grimm is just kind of there. It's competent, not brilliant, middle-of-the-pack nerd entertainment. I really doubt recaps would get that many eyeballs.

MMkay.

If anyone isn't down with Big Finish I will literally fight them with knives. As in, like, I have knives and will fight them.

Ugh. Am I the only one who hates Chas having anything super mystical going on? I always loved how banal he and his family life were in the comics, barring that story about his mum being an evil hedge witch.

Well, John is the Laughing Magician in the comics, a figure that's similar to the hanged man in that it's associated with inversion, misrule, sexiness, overcoming much greater powers through sacrifice and loss, and Kevin Bacon.

Eh. Bad drag, in and of itself, can be really funny if it's done right. I'm thinking of KITH's Kathy and Cathy sketches. Especially the final one where it's revealed that all the AT&Love women are actually gay men in drag and they have to turn in their company wigs. '

If I'm guessing, I'm guessing that Grimm didn't get great pageviews, and Constantine doesn't either, but it's someone's baby because of affection for the comics.
