One of us may have to watch Alien again to get to the bottom of this. I nominate you!

Upvoted for the richness and texture of the commenter's inner life.

By making unholy shit-tons of money for the networks that give them to him.

No.

Wait, what? Mother received the distress beacon from LV-426, awoke the crew, and /then/ Ash got his orders from the company, no? I thought it was ad hoc in that way.

News outlets confuse "being first" with "providing thoughtful reportage to an engaged audience". When those outlets are nested inside huge broadcasting concerns, this is the result.

Aaaaand with that: thanks, NBC. It's been nice knowing you. Enjoy the rest of this, your Darkest Timeline.

The entire domestic remake was the poor man's The Office.

I am jealous of the fun you have ahead of you.

Yeah, this show is so unrealistic.

Troll? Dumbass? Both?

I googled, only to find that reality was once again way ahead of my mockery:

That's been an open question for a while now. At least they've had some high hopes for DC (or thereabouts) for most of this season, which gives them a reason to push on. But prior to that hope, it made zero sense that they abandoned the prison it in the first place.

Negan, in the comics, is a guy who has weaponized the arts of seduction against zombies.

Free-range Operating Thetans

Crypto-Mormon was always the weakest villain in the silver age Batman canon.

Meh, they've already explored Larry and he's basically left her life now. His fling with Polly is easy to write off - namely, she came to her senses. The Larry subplot was a notable drag in S2. They're smart to cut it.

For the blockbusters, just donate at their site and then go torrent the pre-synced riffs. Everyone wins… sort of.

Which, as bummers go, is severe. I miss the riffing of movies I'd actually want to see, or at least aren't painful to look at. Something like "Supersonic Man", with its actively repellent score, has zero rewatch value for me (couldn't even finish it the first time). At least the terrible MST3K movies had fun skits…

If you hate that, you're going to loathe Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny. It has another entire, thematically unrelated, and even worse short movie inside of it! It will incept you with inanity.
