Imagine how tragic it’d be if Elizabeth remained staunchly “unhumane” until the end and died that way. She obviously has her cracks, particularly when it comes to the kids... so I do think that will come to a head somehow before the finale.

I had a picture taken with Conan once when I met him, and I’m 6'0" compared to his 6'4". My late friend was later asking me about it and said something like, “Gosh, Conan’s so tall! But you’re a tall guy too, I suppose.”

Kind of amazing when you realize he’s probably healthier than a lot of people out there of all sorts of ages. When he announced the news back in 1991/92, I remember people being so sad because they thought he would be dead in a manner of years. Thankfully, that’s not the case today for many people living with HIV.

Someone’s going to die, that’s for sure.

I think it’s the same thing when you like a band or a movie. When it’s small enough in fanbase, you feel like you’re all in it together and you’re the world’s best kept secret. But then when the ratings/sales pick up, along with some critical acclaim, some might be against it and not feel like it’s “theirs” as much…

Yeah, Chris Carter also mentioned something about Scully having “Alien DNA” and how that explains a lot... so... yeah, it makes sense now? Maybe??

Here’s one of his quotes...

I actually enjoyed this season for the most part. Only the first and last episodes were really big “mehs” on my end, really.

I’m thinking many would kill to look like them at their ages.

Right. I didn’t think the age was so much a thing as some of the other stuff she went through over the years. The ova thing I figured what just the eggs themselves, but now I’m remembering the whole surviving cancer thing on top of it. So yeah, definitely confused now.

Strangely touching when William (as “Mulder”) told Scully that “he” knows she loves her son.

That’s my main memory of the local KB Toys store I went to as a kid. Very crowded with the relatively little mall space it had at the time.

I remember some years ago where Grammar floated around the idea of a Cheers-Frasier spinoff that focused on Frasier and Niles’ children and could involve appearances by previous characters from the shows (I think?). Who knows if it was half-serious or not, but that’d probably be the best bet in reviving something there…

Okay, I figured it was along those lines. That and I just remembered she did sing back-up to Crow on her 2002 single Soak Up the Sun as well.

She’s playing a small venue that can fit a few hundred people a mile or two away from me. I might go check it out.

She was known before Sheryl Crow had success though, no?

Ms. Martindale actually resembles my mother quite a bit (and her sisters). That and her outlook on life is quite enviable. And she’s good on The Americans.

The most anticipated transformation scene in pop culture since Anakin Skywalker’s burned body converted into Darth Vader’s.

Depends on what year it ends in, I suppose. I wouldn’t picture this particular song, but something that kind of drones on like Elvis Costello’s I Want You at the end would seem sort of fitting.

I had a passing interest in the occasional song back in high school and college, but that was about it. Then on a whim, I ended up buying the first four albums for $2 each at a Goodwill one time, and I was surprised that I enjoyed a lot more of their material. I’m a sucker for various guitars and synths sounds anyway,…
