Eh, counting up to 22 is not as dramatic as counting down to 0. Sure, I can do the subtraction, but there's a certain ominousness when the cold hard number is sitting right in front of your face. The brain isn't wired to care about the difference between 21 and 22 as much as it is the difference between 1 and 0.

People complain about the massive page count of the book, but one thing that communicates that you don't get in 8 episodes is HOW MUCH OF JAKE'S LIFE has been spent getting to this point (the book also adds several more years between the portal's exit year and the year Oswald even sets foot on American soil). In his…

The problem, as I will keep repeating for anyone who'll put up with me, is that the book actually isn't that much about the JFK thing. King for the most part based all the JFK/Oswald business on real events surrounding the guy. And we don't really KNOW all that much about what he got up to beforehand - the attempted…

That REALLY threw me for a loop. Did they get Cooper to record some alternate-timeline dialogue? Did Cooper talk about "his girlfriend" before coming out at some point and they reused the footage? WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

No problem, that's the sort of thing us computer nerds pay way too much attention to haha.

As to the problem with the "burn through" approach, again, it was my impression AV Club did that anyway. If they DIDN'T already do a series of burn through reviews for these all-at-once releases I would be less confused about why an additional preview-based review was warranted. (To be clear, I'm not saying the…

From the studio perspective I think it is the latter thing. It's a lot easier to see a show working well and have great expectations than it is to actually watch the whole thing and still think it was as great as you thought it would be. How many times have we seen storylines and seasons fail to stick the landing?…

I'm not really sure why those random clips are there, but no complaints about the bedtime stories story. And the Fallon clip finally told me how to say her name. And led me to that GODDAMN AMAZING twerking clip (I stopped after season 2).

That parting line is epic.

You and Avenged Sevenfold and that reviews guy make me want to read this site more regularly.

SECRET. OF THE. OOZE. Deflation impossible.

To be fair, joyriding is not the same as being part of a car theft ring.

But she loves Secret of the Ooze! Move over Tom, we're clearly soulmates. That was my jam (because we had it on video and I always wanted to see the first movie instead if I had the chance because it was the one I hadn't seen 20 times).

Damn, Brett, you are in the wronnnng production if you "aren't a fan of sand". In fact, you sound an awful lot like a character from a completely different famous science fiction property… https://www.youtube.com/wat…

It also ignores the simple fact that the actress got a better job offer. So the producers had two alternatives: Get rid of her without a love scene. Or get rid of her with a love scene. They went with the latter. This isn't a fuck you to the gay community, this is FAN SERVICE because it was their last chance.

All I can say is, I disagree that it makes more sense. Phillip is capable of handling the possibility of someone getting close to the body when he's there to keep it from becoming a thing. What he's not capable of handling is the airport getting swarmed with cops, caught with his car in some lot halfway across the…

He wanted to keep an eye on the body until he was at his escape vehicle. You don't want to be caught taxiing around the airport (or leave your car there) when they cordon off all the lots to search for a murder suspect.

Regina Hall's ABSOLUTELY FREAKIN EPIC eye roll when Dre yelped out "BLACK" at the beginning almost made me to choke to death on my chicken wing. Had to rewind to even catch the nearly-as-funny Rainbow speaking in Dre's voice bit!

"Diane is officially on murder watch after this episode, right?" AFTER this episode? Am I totally making this up or didn't we witness her trying to smother Jack in his sleep one time?

That Junior hand-block was so harsh. I liked that she was fully prepared to shut Junior down, but I would've appreciated a respectful "Junior, you need to learn about boundaries" conversation, poor guy.
