I swear all I talk about in these comment sections is George Meyer, but this excerpt from an interview with The Believer is too good to pass up:

SIX MONTHS LATER: Ryan Coogler Departs "Black Panther;" Cites Creative Differences

That one's all Ridley, baby!

It's funny, of all of Lindelof's collaborators, including Brad Bird and Ridley Scott, his best by far has been Tom Perrotta, the guy who writes books about the profound sadness of living in the suburbs.

Meg lacks Patti's whimsical touch.

Canada does bad teen drama better than America.

It was real. She was trying to make a statement, of which I cannot remember.

"We're Back!" was written by John Patrick Shanley, of "Moonstruck," "Doubt" and "Joe vs. the Volcano" fame (OK, "Congo too).

People seem to have forgotten that Kevin has insane, vivid dreams. Season one is loaded with them. No reason this can't be another one.

This episode makes an interesting companion piece with the season one finale, where Kevin has a vivid dream involving him being locked up with his dad and Patti informing him they're traveling companions now.

It really felt like a deleted scene from a Tom Perrotta novel. There's a certain mundaness laced with dark, sad humor that's his forte.

Super-influential Simpsons writer/executive producer George Meyer once described the show's sense of humor as nihilistic and this episode is a really good example of his belief. The American government, the billionaire industrialist and Cuban government are all horrible in their own ways and the only thing you can…

I was tense during all the Kevin and Laurie because I was worried they'd start making out or something.

I like Watto too. I actually felt bad for him in "Attack of the Clones" when he's just sitting by the side of wall with the remnants of his shop, trying to repair his droid. He's been through some hard times.

That's So Grievous

I'm going to move this in a more productive direction: Jesse, who's your favorite crazy alien that appears in the prequels?

I had no idea Red Letter Media was considered holy writ to some people.

You're a brave man, Jesse Hassenger.

I love that every time us Americans make a Godzilla movie, Japan has to make another one, to show us how to REALLY do it.

I'm one of those weirdos who gets excited when that piano starts tinkling because that means something super sad is about to happen. Now I get to look forward to the pedal steel.
