I’d say The X-Files started it - although in that case it was a series-wide myth arc rather than a new arc each season. Buffy is kind of what pioneered the structure of a network genre show for sure. Tere are probably earlier examples that are slipping my mind.

I used to think that before baseball went to the imbalanced schedule, and now I have to watch the Padres nineteen times a year.

Looks like Jason/Michael is ending up the common point in two love triangles throughout this season (unless Rosario Dawson is truly out but gods I hope not).

While last week’s episode was a really well-done and emotional episode, it was also nice to get a less heavy and more “normal” (as much as Jane the Virgin even has a “normal”) episode this week. Not that this one pulled any punches—the moment where Jason thinks he’s remembering something was intense—but this one felt…

Rafael said in the last episode something along the lines of, “DNA test confirmed it, it’s him.” Then again, Rose has all these connections so maybe she’s got a DNA testing technician on the take, but I doubt the writers would use the same exact twist, they seem too good for that. Whether he’s been brainwashed by…

really kicking myself for not working “Infinity War” into that headline

If Rosenthal retires the next batter he faces, his ERA will “fall” to 189.00

Impossible to achieve, but I do I feel the theoretical synergy of Zion going to Utah deserves mention.

It’s incredible how something that presents the risk that ketamine does can be worth it in this kind of circumstance. I don’t think it can be understated how well those that had to dose them did that none of them had any problems.

I’ve never stopped being worried about Britney. She is FAR from stable. Her performances and public exposure are very carefully controlled, but if you pay attention you can see that she’s not healthy. The fact that she she remains under legal/financial control of her father is very telling, and her “boyfriends”…

Seconded. Also, less Juliette Lewis.

More Archie Panjabi in everything, please.

Disney bought out a lot more tickets than I was expecting.

Details of note (at least to me):

yep, it almost sounds like it could be “revenge porn” ish...  unless these middle school boys are tech savvy enough to hack her phone or the other teachers phone to access it... someone can find out how it got distributed.

A hearty fuck-you to the men who decided to display this picture in full during her disciplinary hearing.

Man its a good thing Italy didn’t potentially derail the career of its last great talent of African origin. And Juve wouldn’t have any experience with monkey noises being directed at said teen phenom.  They’d probably have learned something from that situation 

I love that these idiots think straight cis men are going to transition to being women just to be good at sports, even though almost no women get rich playing sports and your average dude is NOT good enough to beat the best women in the world.
