Nine’s songs just aren’t that good in the first place? You know nothing.

The world lost when Braveheart won. But then they managed to keep all the truly worthy titles out of the Best Picture category that year, for some bizarre reason.

Only 62 Oscar winners in their entire library = proof that their streaming catalog is 98% straight-to-video litterbox-liners.

There are episodes where the cast gets to portray real people who do outrageous things, and there are episodes where the cast are forced to play goofy caricatures doing goofy shit for an hour. This one was the latter.

Until along comes Shakaar.

And entering rehab for kanar addiction.

“I'm quite a tough nut cracker!”

Oh how I miss Miss Peggy.

The writetrs sort of played it out themselves, having taken away every family member she had. All she had left was Frank, and we know how that always ends.

I sought out the episode last week after the eviction notice popped up at the end of the episode. Part of the deal for not pressing charges against Patrick was a 50-year lease at $500 a month. I'm guessing he followed through if he's been putting up with it for 3 years before coming up with this loan default scheme.…

When I watch characters who basically live in misery for multiple seasons, I end up rooting for them to better themselves at any cost, even if it means there's no more show left. I was with Lip when he put limits on Ian's wish to live with him. He's on his way to a better life, he has to protect that or else why did…

Ah, true. And for the rent they are paying, Patrick is probably losing money by the year on the property. But I would imagine the lesbians would be offering him good money for it. Maybe Patrick jumped down an ice fishing hole…

It's what John Wells considers comedy. "Let's see how far we can bend the characters before they break…"

Well, that's sort of built into the show. It was clear by the first few episodes that this wan't going to be Upstairs vs. Downstairs, and that the Crawley family were to be rooted for as much as the servants & villagers. It's funny to me that people are still calling out this class thing now — if this is still a…

Jimmy only bought the house next door. Fiona tried to take ownership of the house in the fake Aunt Ginger death after Social Services took the kids away, but cousin Patrick filed his fake Aunt Ginger will before they did, and the house became his. But when he tried to evict him, a quick-thinking Debbie made up a…

His exit and return was probably concocted because Allen Leech couldn't commit to a full season due to other work. But like Worf returning to the Enterprise in each TNG film, it's best not to hijack the story dwelling on the why's. He is different, but since he is still in exile from Ireland, it's not impossible to me…

I'm on it! *rubs hands together*

I had a similar reaction — part of the reason the Crawleys are protagonists in the story is that they have done a great deal of adapting to change over the course of the show, in order to survive and thrive in the post-WWI era. Also, should it be a complaint that they are so generous in the care and concern of their…

Kids stream. Only us oldes buy the CD or LP. And we are smart enough to know that most new stuff sucks. You're welcome.

Is there fracking going on around some city where all these dying famous people are? Are they all falling into an earthquake crater? Or have each of them been to Flint recently? I mean, what the fuck?
