Oh, damn, Halt and Catch Fire. Another show with a glorious finale. “I have an idea,” indeed.

And, of course, The Good Place: The Podcast went live right after the episode. I haven’t listened yet, but this week Marc Evan Jackson interviews Mike Schur and Drew Goddard. The episode is an hour and a half long... and it’s labeled as “Part 1".

Ah, but how much does he really love his daughters if he named one of them “Hebecca”? 

“As the father of two daughters, I am outraged about [insert issue that, frankly, they should be outraged about no matter what]!”

And for many of that (older) half of the Democrats, “socialist” is practically a dirty word, not a point of pride.

I read Jemele Hill’s piece yesterday, and I noticed that she said Bryant felt he had been “wrongly accused” of sexual assault, not that it was an issue of the perception of consent, as he said in his official apology. Hill was quoting her conversation with him in 2015, when consent was very much being discussed in…

Hell, back in 1994 I was in college down in San Antonio (even did a temp gig in HEB’s headquarters), and the Central Market mythos was already spreading from Austin down to SA.

I got a very strong vibe that Jack will return later in the season, likely in the finale. He’s too huge a character to just pop in for a short, relatively inconsequential cameo. (Someone else could’ve delivered the same info about the Cybermen.)

Yeah, I’m leaning toward the alternate universe possibility, given that the show has been dropping hints about other dimensions this season (though I can’t remember specific examples.) It would also explain why Doctor Ruth seems more hardcore than our Doctor, along with the oddness of the new Master’s behavior after…

Yes. Thank you. I’ve lived in metro Atlanta for twenty years, and I can totally believe it takes place in Georgia.

I haven’t read the book, but I assume that since Bateman films Ozark here, he probably has a lot of connections in the local industry that would make filming easier. Plus, the infrastructure is much more established than in Oklahoma. Just guessing, though.

That actually relates to one thing that bugged me about the courthouse scene. (Note: I haven’t read the book.) Multiple sheriff’s deputies and the prime suspect are killed by the dead child’s brother, all while dozens of witnesses and local news crews watch? That would be wall-to-wall coverage on CNN and Fox News for…

And me. Thank the FSM I’m not the only one to remember those Pace commercials.

Bernie’s supporters aren’t worried about a 70-something socialist from Vermont by way of Brooklyn.

Here’s the funny thing, though. I’m a volunteer usher at the local performing arts center, and the Jojo Siwa tour swung through this past summer. The little kids were all absolutely adorable and, for the most part, well-behaved. Many of the parents, though, were absolute NIGHTMARES. They were either drunk, pissed off…

Trebek was actually born early enough that he’s a member of the Silent Generation, not a Baby Boomer.

Olyphant was delightful, but my god, if they’d gotten Kyle Chandler as Coach? I might not still be alive to type this.

Eh, I’d rather have a cameo by Gardner Minshew II.  

Because I? Do not like raw tomatoes. I do not like their mealy, mushy flesh, and I do not like their squidgy jelly-coated seeds or their thin skin that lodges uncomfortably between my teeth and creates a lacquered film on my palate.
