So…
…he's directing? Is that it?

I was juuuuuuuuuuuust about to, but now I won't. And I'm usually okay with spoilers.

Yeah! And so long as they keep premiering, then promptly canceling, such great shows like Terriers and Lights Out.

Brock hasn't become a wuss. He's become the show's primary dad. What's more masculine than a dad?

That would be the "plot coupon" structure. It's a rather lazy form of storytelling that's most often found in fairy tales and kid's stories, because it's simple and direct enough for its young audience. "Go here and get this, so you can go here and get this." You can hang a lot of crap on it without trying too hard,…

It's kind of like if you're watching a shitty movie, and someone says, "You know this is based on a true story?"

Shoulda been
Betty Draper's dad

Man, we're learning all kinds of stuff about that motherfucker today.

She's all caught up in that Pellicano case, apparently.

Don't forget some magical spirit sending messages through riddles in order to get another damn sword, or something!

Too much stabbing.

Scientology
I believe he and his brother (the oldest kid from Malcolm in the Middle) were the ones to convert Laura Prepon. I'm not sure if I want to support mid-tier Scientologists - only top tier ones for me, like Tom Cruise and Will Smith.

Girl? Gage Creed?

Looks like my post got eaten… Did the movie version include the wendigo at all?

Member that kid from Ender's Game who would queue up a video of a giant wiggling penis and lay it in his lap so it would look like it was his?

I like to think most desperately poor people behave like Charlie Kelly from It's Always Sunny. That makes it a lot more delightful.

I watched She's Having a Baby the night before I started watching this show. The comparison between McGovern then and now is ridiculous.

In the first trimester, it is possible to knock the fetus loose from the uterine wall. Hence why women in the first trimester aren't supposed to go on roller coasters and such. (They aren't supposed to go on them at any point in the pregnancy, really, but I'm told the real threat is in the first trimester.)

Red Hot Chili Peppers songs?!
THIS IS AN OUTRAGE

This makes me think of the time someone told me Brandon Routh would make a better Superman than Bale would Batman, because Routh had black hair, like Superman, whereas Bale's was brown, unlike Batman.
