I don’t think Jake leaves the force and if he did, I don’t think it would be satisfying. There would still be systemic, entrenched, corruption, and his wife, mentor, best friend, and wife’s whole family would still be a part of it.

The Babysitters Club thing is weirdly funny. You know a writer was a fan.

Or he stays over at his girlfriend’s place but uses his legal address in official documents. Or he’s in the process of moving. Or he moves a lot because he’s an unknown actor in a famously expensive city but uses the address of a family member as his mailing address.

They established he used it as a shortcut. Even if his home isn’t near there it could still be a shortcut. 

That would actually be cool.

He did? Why? He never really had to do anything, just grow a beard and stand silently. 

30 Rock: Pretend it’s 1997 again through science or magic. 

It won’t. Steve Carell and John Krasinski have absolutely no interest. 

Eh.

They tried that, remember? Make Andy and Erin the couple, didn’t work. Then they tried Erin and Pete. Didn’t work either. Make Kathy Bates/Gabe/James Spader/Catherine Tate the boss. Didn’t work.

That would be a great idea for an episode. Ted Williams facing Roy Halladay and getting annoyed that the ABs go on forever and every pitch is a heater.

I could see MAYBE a miniseries. A short one. But I expect if Schur’s involved, it won’t have anything in common with the movie except Iowa and baseball ghosts. No baby boomer tension with their dads, no farm forclosure, no choking kid.

Of course he was guilty, in that he threw the game for gambling profits. He wasn’t as involved as Gandil and Risberg, but still.

And honestly so much better. Can you imagine trying to combine a real-life person with a fantasy drama? Especially someone as polarising as Salinger?

There should be an interleague game with the Reds, Pete Rose as the MC. MLB has no sense of humor.

Also, the ghosts save the humans instead of killing them. At least Karin.

Oh it’s polarising. A lot of people hate this movie. The main reasons being baby boomer nonsense, the fact that the timeline makes no sense, the fact that Kevin Costen spends the whole movie trying to atone for not liking the same baseball player his dad likes, as though that makes him a bad person even though he’s…

I think they thought about it? But they quickly realised they couldn’t film anything with the son and daughter after season 1 because the actors aged. So they had that one scene they filmed for the finale WAY back in season 1, and dammit they were going to cram it in there no matter how much it made no sense. 

The problem was, they filmed the ending when it looked like they’d be cancelled in season 1. Where it would have worked, with Victoria being the mother and Robin being the love of his life. It would have worked at the end of season 2. But after that, they stopped writing Ted and Robin in love with each other. It…

The thing is, there aren’t many conservatives who fit in that weird space The View wants. Someone who grew up in a nominally liberal culture and knows liberal institutions (because her family is rich and she went to Columbia) but is conservative (because Daddy). So she can’t go too far on the culture stuff because she…
