A misunderstanding…or not
The problem I have with Lost apologists is that they typically say something that makes sense in order to defend something that really isn't related to it at all. Like, take this. I could be completely wrong here, but I'm guessing this is to defend Lost from all the rabid nerds that are…

Well, true, stadiums aren't modern, but I was talking about the design of the stadium, not stadiums themselves (complete with locker rooms, owner's boxes, and Under Armour).

New to this whole thing and even I'M going to rant on the BSG Finale
I watched the pilot having never watched an episode of BSG and I'll probably keep up with it because, well, what else is there to watch? Most of the big shows are on break right now and this will be a nice companion to Lost.

The kid showing up alive was cheesy, but it wasn't even close to as bad as the whole idea of the ending: "An unstoppable alien invasion is going to wipe out the human race, oh wait, no it isn't. The end."

@AutomaticJack. Yes, thats true, but there still needs to be some degree of rationality to it.

I'm Already Frustrated Over This And Yes, I'm A Gigantic Nerd
You can't prevent the characters from ever being on the island by having them blow up a bomb ON THE ISLAND. It makes no fucking sense. I realize that you pretty much have to throw out any sort of plausibility when time travel is introduced, but this is…

@MikeStrange. See, the thing is, I don't really think counterpoints exist anymore. With newspapers its different, because for the most part, if people actually pick up a newspaper, there's not a very deep selective process to it. People just read it and don't seem to go into a lot of depth involving what side of…

I'll tell you exactly why conservative talk radio is popular. This might sound like snark, but its not, its the truth: it's because old people don't listen to music.

For Sonic Youth, I was mainly talking about their 90s output, which just happened to coincide with the point in time in which Sonic Youth signed to a major label—hipsters shit all over it to the point that they began to be pushed back into obscurity until hipsters realized this and came back to them because of this…

Why Hipsters Really Just Need To Shut Up About What's Popular
This is what always happens. Hipsters bitch that mainstream music listeners only listen to crap and bitch that deserves to be a lot more popular, then said band gets popular and they shit all over them. Modest Mouse, Death Cab for Cutie, The Shins,…

The thing is, everything you just said is pretty much dead on, but I don't really get the point. Leno got all the scandal-ridden celebrities because those celebrities knew that Letterman would take a bunch of shots at them if they went on his show. For painless apologies, celebrities couldn't do better than Leno.

Asking the Wrong Question
Instead of asking Stephen Baldwin to say Jesus doesn't exist, the command should be "Quote Proverbs 22: 16 ("He who oppresses the poor to increase his wealth and he who gives gifts to the rich—both come to poverty") or Matthew 19:33 (Then Jesus said to his disciples, 'I tell you the truth, it…

I don't know, I'd imagine you could include every single joke from at least the last 3 seasons of Family Guy in here.

Lost
I don't know what to think anymore.

To be honest, I hate the whole idea. I'm a fan of his, not a super fan, but a fan and as much as I'd like new stuff, I've never liked the whole Frankenstein, lets-piece-this-together-and-see-what-we-can-do posthumorous releases.

I'm sorry, that WaPo review went beyond stupid into full blown offensive. He DOESN'T have a legitimate point and here's why:

@ Miller, if we are throwing in Aaron Sorkin's worst moments here, I would have to throw in the episode of Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip, where Matthew Perry and Sarah Paulson, the people, mind you, meant to play the main love interests in the show, spent a whole episode walking around jabbing Gay Marriage talking…

I Love Everything About This
I would ask for a Worst Films of the 2000s, but I realize that ship probably already sailed after the weeks of 2000s recaps. So could we at least get Worst TV Episodes of 2009? I could seriously read the A.V. Club tear apart shitty entertainment all day. It's like the Heroes recaps…

Of course. I belong in that group (cue snarky comments).

Lobsters, you actually think Obama is going to lose come 2012? Do you know what's happening in your own party right now? There's a good chance there won't even be a Republican Party come 2012. They are imploding in a way that's really unheard of.
