Where did Boom! hurt you? This isn't the first time WOT has slammed it—the show is a perfectly cromulent quiz show that rewards general knowledge (gasp) and punishes ignorance (double gasp!). Maybe I just like quiz shows, I don't know, but it's kind of nice to see knowledge pay off. It's not Jeopardy!, but what is?…

Thank you for the analyses, the affection, the visible care and enjoyment of the series that went into these writeups.

Some or all of these may be stretching the definition a little, but:

So, here's what I'm thinking about "Economics…". It's probably going to sound crazy, and it's likely borderline ridiculous, but I think I could do a decent pro and con writeup for it. (Honestly, the idea occurred to me because I hit upon how I think a "pro" argument would go while I was trying to finalize/think…

Docetism! Life is but a dream.
