This stupid fucking Stewart column is the epitome of burying the lede. If your interview subject WANTS to talk about his crimes - the thing that he is most notorious for - why the FUCK would you keep veering away? Even if it’s just on background and you feel queasy about violating that agreement (which, please)...…

I once dated a smug dude who prided himself on being friends with every single one of his exes. He claimed that if you can’t be good friends, then you’re mean and immature. I tried to argue that forcing yourself to be friends with an ex just to prove your mature is a very immature thing to do, but I got nowhere.

Amy: “I’ll just finish it all by myself!”

Oh, this was god awful. As you say, the whole Lip conflict made absolutely zero sense, with him apparently forgetting everything he learned in the program about addiction and personal responsibility. Fiona’s fall is one (stupid, stupid) thing, but the conflict with Lip is utterly nonsensical.

But his death is his own doing, a choice they were forced to make, not a natural consequence of their violence.
That isn’t ambiguity. It isn’t poetic. It’s narrative cowardice.

I’m not always convinced my attempts to articulate my frustration are valuable, so thank you for the reassurance that they can be.

Ignoring the grades, the criticism by Stephens (most certainly last week) and this week, ignores to my mind, the tragedy and sympathies this series does a very fine job in creating,. Instead the reviewers cynicism upends any credibility while revealing a lack of empathy for human failings Last week’s gorgeous…

If he’s such a great prognosticator, then why didn’t he open the broadcast with, “Everybody should just go to bed right now, because in a few hours you will all want to kill yourselves.”

I think it’s actually Burl Ives’ recording from 1945, not Pete Seeger’s from 1957 (or the Tom Waits version from Ironweed or the original Harry McClintock version used in O Brother, Where Art Thou?).

Yeah, Zack’s review is terrible. But then that’s not a surprise, most of his writing usually is pretty shoddy and weak.

I have never been so disappointed with a review of TVB. This episode was AWESOME - especially to real fans who actually remember events from the first 2 seasons. Oh, and the introduction of the PP mole makes Copycat’s betrayal far more interesting than what the reviewer suggests. Is Copycat working with the PP? Is…

“...before leaving Arturo’s body in the Pontiac 442...”

Dr. Mrs. The Monarch: How long have we got until they regain consciousness?

A vegan, an atheist and a Crossfitter walk into a bar. How do I know? Because they told everyone in the first two minutes.

A crying emoji in a tweet from an actual news station in a story about someone dying violently just seems so incredibly grotesque.

“How would you like to die today, motherfucker?”

I would totally watch Captain America: Civil War Gazebo.
