Yes Jay and Silent Bob, Earth-1610 perhaps

Yes, the character work is excellent this year, but what has been missing is the cool, mind-bending sci-fi stories. None of the best sci-fi episodes this year are any better than an average monster-of-the-week from previous seasons.

And a much less inventive one - in addition to the planet collecting in TPP, there was all that cool mystery about where the missing planet went, as well as the functioning of the pirate planet itself, the psychic powers that residents drew from inhabitants of collected worlds, the nurse/big bad. Plus the weird…

1. This episode supports the popular assertion that Chibnall should bring back 2-parters. As you say, this episode was packed with interesting concepts and challenges that we had to race through without exploring.

I had one with Kira for a few minutes. (Line of Duty season 4.) 

SERIOUSLY. I love Gizmodo but that article itself was ridiculously sensationalized, and caused this whole thing without any help, thanks to one disgruntled Facebook employee clearly BSing about what was happening.

Agree, though I even put it below 4, and maybe even below Tokyo Drift. No matter what though, 8 was a huge disappointment. Not only did it not have any real showstopper action sequences (the zombie cars and the ice chase didn’t live up to the ones you mention, or the bus, etc), the dour tone was a real turnoff for a…

Fast 4 works by calling back to what made the original great, as well as calling back to the entire plot of Fast 2.

I used to work at a bar in that area too. St P’s is easily the worst day of the year - endless fighting, puking, boyfriends screaming at girlfriends, and it is SO LONG.

He always was.

Just like that except if the golfer could also break his back when a gust comes up.

They’re also unloading Crunch, as in, NESTLE CRUNCH. What the f do we start calling it now?

We can only hope that he ravaged his balls on one or more of those uncontrolled bounces at the end.

Yeah. I’m not a dental professional but I did live in the south. That sounds very denture-y.

Having to suffer these endless teases for the new Black Mirror, but with no actual release date at any point, is a real life Black Mirror.

Counterpoint: please don’t chew on ice.

No apology necessary, good luck with the baby!!

Definitely not trying to pin you as anything! It’s just that you seemed to be mentioning mostly hipper, younger neighborhoods - loop, south/west/north loop, ravenswood, lincoln park, etc.

No offense taken. For all my talk I actually live in Logan Square, and have no kids. But my more family-focused friends tend to live in those neighborhoods, which is why they came to mind.

Jefferson Park? Old Irving?
