It's pretty good. The MBV influence is a bit more apparent than it was before, but not that different. I'm a bit more disappointed that it's not more rocking though; one thing shoegaze really needs is a bit of a kick in the ass as the genre is becoming generic indie too afraid to even mix in noise.

well obviously there's worse examples of overstaying ones welcome. To P&R's credit, the show never really got as bad as those shows did, but it seems like there was a point where the show more or less reached its logical endpoint. I'd say it was Knope becoming part of the local counsel; it was still funny, but it was…

Am I alone in thinking the show has well over-stayed its welcome? I feel like everything they could possibly have said this season was done last season (which honestly felt like a show not quite sure if it will be picked up and wound things down to prepare for cancellation). I've felt bored by this season and I…

not an actor, but Scorsese should've won a Best Director Oscar well before The Departed. That whole movie felt like someone was trying to make the most stereotypical Scorsese film; that it would come from Scorsese himself and net himself an Oscar is even more disappointing.

"I'm not sure he's been truly snubbed any year"

they've introduced some much needed variety, but the really compressed mastering is a bit distracting. I get that it's used to make a noisy band even more noisy, but it doesn't really work well.

I like this episode and it is is mostly funny, but it's one that feels somewhat tonedeaf despite being otherwise very forward thinking for its time. I think it's the tendency to steer into generic Gay Joke territory that dates it a bit.

"I make art…. by which I mean albums worth of U2 intros."

they didn't exaggerate MJ's persona, but they did apply it to a character that was possibly insane.

the Michael Jackson episode was certainly ass-kissing, though I think you're overlooking that "Michael Jackson" was a fat, bald white guy in that episode. Way different approach than the Lady Gaga episode.

probably so, though that doesn't entirely make a case for a sequel to the show instead.

it doesn't have to be more of the same, but a sequel will be. Which is why I think a reboot would be the best solution.

I'm genuinely surprised that I seem to be the only one that would prefer a reboot/remake of The X-Files over a sequel. The ship has clearly sailed on the original series, what with it going up its own ass for the last 3 or 4 seasons and a forgettable 2nd movie. Why on earth would a sequel (be it a movie or another…

I was pretty sure Chronicle was getting a sequel, though it's been a while since I've heard anything.

nope, they said it was under-rated. I'm pretty sure they talked about Signs quite a bit in that movie.

I wouldn't even say the show is different. You can just as easily watch season 8 and see some of the same things that mar the current iteration of the show, but otherwise done so much better.

I like the show, but I think it's a bit too slow moving. Like the plot would inch forward, only to have another flashback and/or sideplot take over for most of the episode, then another character gets introduced….

"I hate every ape I see, from Chimpan-A to Chimpanzee" is probably their best line ever

I think that's a bit coincidental.

I haven't seen the second season, but I think the show didn't really benefit from being a full 22 minute episode show. I thought the pilot episode was brilliant because it was only 11 minutes, but no other episode came close.
