Yeah, but they’re using it in the same sense that black people call each other the N-word; they’re “taking it back.” The term was meant to be derogatory.

Jiminy Christmas, that whole thing was dark. I know Season One wasn’t lollipops and rainbows either but Jessica’s snarky attitude and wisecracks livened it up a bit. This is just miserable. I can’t see myself ever rewatching this again.

I don’t know why this means they would revive Grimm, but I do know it didn’t start actually getting good until its final season, so that’d be fine with me, no matter how unlikely it is.

Oh boy. This is the song (and the band) that chased me out of Christian music. There were actually a lot of good acts and bands in the 90s, and a wide variety of musical styles to choose from.

I’m looking forward to that Netflix doc. The story of the Rajneeshees is absolutely insane. If you’ve never heard it, it’s all true and it was the template for a lot of fictional cults on television (much of The Simpsons’ “The Joy Of Sect” lifted scenes directly from that commune).

I’ve never liked pineapple on anything, really, but the way people dump on this particular pizza topping as if it’s the worst one, it’s like everybody forgot anchovies were once a thing.

Netflix has done well with documentaries — some have even been cultural hits — so I see no reason why a full-fledged series wouldn’t work. 60 Minutes is a high bar to clear though.

Man....the last statement I read from Hawking was a few months into the Trump presidency when he remarked “Greed and aggression seem to be hardwired into the human condition.” It was such a depressing statement, and so is the fact that the last time he witnessed the world was when anti-science sentiment was as high as…

Well, probably not that one. Some things are just too dead.

Maybe they cast female dogs for male roles because they can’t show a dog penis in a family film?

Eventually, every show from the 90s will come in two forms: the original, and the Trump-era revival season with lots of in-the-moment “fake news” jabs.

Ah, that’s why....I’m too old to know this.

Peyton has an album now?

Liv even said “Makeover makeover makeover!” right before the montage kicked in, and for a second I thought “no, they wouldn’t really play THAT music, would they?” They wouldn’t...it was Supermodel.

Alex Hirsch of Gravity Falls fame chimes in as one of the comments to that tweet:

Screw you, I loved Robyn.

Those “new friends” of Rory’s were so forgettable I never realized one of them was Krysten Ritter until now. I remember an issue of TV Guide that came out around that time gave that pair a mention in “Jeers.”

If they don’t display any of the actual traits of vampires, then why are they marketed as vampires?

For a long time Archie was the only major comic publisher in town devoted to the “humor” genre, even if the gags were more miss than hit. Now no one does it. :(

More shows than Buffy have done it....it seems like just about every series with a heavy sci-fi or fantasy premise has suggested the whole thing is someone’s dream at some point. It’s not so shocking anymore.
