Finished the first season of Orphan Black. SPOILERS: I feel really messed up about what happened to Aynsley. What happened to Cheryl from The Wire was more tragic on its face, but I was really disturbed to find out that Aynsley didn’t actually deserve what Alison did to her. Well, she didn’t really deserve that in the

Don’t hate the villain, hate the Villanelle.

I’m glaad they gave Brooklyn Nine-Nine some recognition. The way it’s dealt with LGBT issues has been especially on point this season.

The Naked Gun.

In other words: “I refuse to know what I’m talking about!”

I thought The AV Club’s comment sections were pretty liberal, but I guess that changes when people criticize The Simpsons. What an odd effect that show has on people!

You seem really angry that people care about cartoons. I can’t imagine how enraged you must have felt when everyone was sad about Fry’s dog on Futurama.

There was moshing at a They Might Be Giants concert I went to long ago. The band was very confused.

I’m trying to remember how much nostalgia for the 70s there was in the 90s. Did they revive any TV shows? The only thing I can think of is the Brady Bunch movies. There were also classic rock stations, which play grunge now.

I was going to comment that I decided I’d pretend David Lynch was directing this, but I see that Jalopnik wrote a whole article on that subject, so forget it, just forget it.

I don’t trust them with this kind of thing ever since they said there would be a second season of The Brink and then later they were like “Nope!”

Renee sure seems like a spy, but if so, that stuff about wanting to join the FBI was rather clumsy. If she were really trying to infiltrate the FBI she’d already know she was too old. Maybe she’s just planting the idea in his head so when she does something similar it won’t come out of nowhere.

I vaguely remember it being the US government. Maybe people in the Department of Defense? The 9/11 attacks were so much like a movie that Hollywood screenwriters were consulted to guess what else might happen. It sounds pretty stupid but everyone sort of lost their minds back then.

The pilot episode of The Lone Gunmen, which aired less than a year before 9/11, had a hijacked plane almost crash into the World Trade Center.

Huh, I’d always thought he left Comedy Bang Bang because James Corden stole him.

I liked this episode a lot more than the reviewer did, but maybe that’s because I’m hoping for it to be good even though its lead actress is a bad person. (Does Roseanne Barr have anything to do with the writing of the show? I get the impression that the creative side has been taken over by other, presumably more

Well now, at least for me this is a twisted maze of... irony? I don’t know yet. Let’s unpack. I thought they were being serious, so since I’m the type of person who wants to avoid all spoilers, I was planning on not watching this video. Then the video itself was spoiled by this article, so I went ahead and watched it

I had the same experience with Jane Austen’s Mafia. I thought there was something wrong with my eyes until then.

In other news, I appreciate the username “Einstürzende Joe Biden” even though I can’t decide whether it’s good or not.

Is this one of those things where a major actor in a project loudly proclaims they’re not going to continue being in the project but it’s actually a ploy to get paid more?
