That ending was sweet as hell.

Too right they do!

I also kind of appreciate that he has a good sense of humor about occasionally being conflated with a creepy probably-murderer. I very marginally appreciate this, but it's the only thing I've ever appreciated about Fred Durst, so there's that.

Umm.

Probable, yeah. It's been ages since I've seen either (though I might do a proper rewatch as these recaps continue of Season 3).

I don't think it was bad. I think it was mediocre and retreaded old information about the character, like a lot of lesser "Lost" flash-backs. Sun & Jin in particular became victims of this, as much as I like their characters. Juliet's flashbacks were uniformly some of the strongest outside that one outlier, though.

There was one disappointing one from Season 4 ("The Other Woman") but, it aside, they are all As for me.

I continue to have little love for the first leg of Season 3, but "Not in Portland" is a gem. The new characters were sort of hit-and-miss (for every Desmond there's a Nikki/Paulo or most of the Tail Section), but Juliet arrived fully-formed and interesting.

I grow smugger and smugger every year about not getting a tramp stamp in my 20s. Less and less smug every year about most other things, but dammit I was right about that.

Ugh I do not want States Attorney Alicia to continue to be a thing.

I don't blame the other creative members of The Boondocks team for Season 4. They did what they could do keep the lights on. The show had a very specific voice that was McGruder's all the way back to the comic, so I wasn't surprised they couldn't recreate it.

And yet so many people consider it the same thing that I've avoided no baggage whatsoever and accumulated different sorts entirely during conversations with atheists!

This is more how I define agnosticism (I am one, and don't consider myself an atheist, because fuck if I know). It also fits what some Deists who don't follow a particular religion but believe in some sort of supreme being believe. I realize atheism is no more narrow than any other belief system, but I do think it…

Did he die on The Strain or something? I tuned out of it pretty fast, but I was hoping this movie was a "I really need to pay my mortgage" paycheck role for him. The idea of it being a project he truly wanted to do saddens me.

I sometimes think it worked so well for me because we see almost none of the build-up or romantic tension. They go back in time, they are stuck, then boom, they've become a thing, and it totally makes sense and they play it wonderfully.

It's entirely possible for someone who looks like Jane Krakowski to have enough ancestry to claim tribal membership (I can, and I'm a pasty white ginger). Not that it still didn't make me cringe some.

I also didn't follow it consciously, but once the references started coming in, it all came flooding back, and I realized how much of the trial I'd absorbed.

I was Very Pleased. I used to wonder, as great as he is on Mad Men, if he'd ever be offered work on that level again. And perhaps he won't, but Charismatic Doomsday Cult Leader on a Tina Fey show is about perfect for him at this exact moment. It's also entirely possible to imagine this as the natural progression of…

I'm doing a mega-rewatch in mourning of the end of "Parks and Rec."

I don't care for these episodes as wholes, but the Red Sox scene is one of my favorites of the series.
