Oh, goodness. If they're not careful, they might turn the place into the sleepy and quiet little town it looks like if you just drive by. Scooby Doo did that to Crystal Cove and he and his friends wound up having to wander the Earth in a van solving mysteries to alleviate the boredom.

That would have been a damned sight better at that. Too bad it would take a competent writer to think it up and Steven Muppet not to be show runner.

Great. He's wasting rage on a stupid meddler. What's next? Screaming at the Scooby Doo gang? Also, I half-way expected RED Spy to show up, point at her corpse and say "Here lies Clara Oswald….she lived fast and died a virgin."

Well, it least it's not going to outstay its welcome. That's more than a lot of shows can say.

Well, this makes sense. Chuck Finster looks like an older version of the same panicky, negative boho he started out as, Angelica is a short-tempered execudroid probably neglecting her child, Phil is a lard-ass, Dyl is a stoner and Tommy….well, I think he's probably on an FBI watch list by now.

So, Beatty has competition being a vain idiot. Who knew?

Yep. The official book pointed out that they never saw him coming.

And thus we remind ourselves that no, we cannot exorcise the evil spirit that's haunted this series since its beginnings. The only consolation in watching the failure of the participants to understand that most people want to see Richard Hatch's legacy of sleaze, manipulation and evil erased is that Fat Naked Gay Man

The problem is that there are probably people out there who wouldn't mind becoming sleep monsters if they could spend more time achievement farming on Team Fortress 2.

It ain't like Sheldon is going to flat-out say that he's a solipsistic weirdo who can't connect with people any time soon because that would mean that he's the problem.

"Yes, Survivor. Yes we would."

Which seems to be the reason Ted Forth wants to declare himself Canadian so he doesn't have to go meet his horrible father, nervous martyr mom and oafish siblings.

And it doesn't turn into this horrible display of people rehashing old arguments for no other reason than that they can. Reading the comic strip Sally Forth has immunized me from envying you your Thanksgiving.

Finally. Real-world consequences for Ferguson's irritating behaviour.

Man, am I glad I'm Canadian and don't have to endure your Crazy Cringe Comedy Christmas.

Yes, it is going to end horribly between them. It'll take all of Series Ten to get him out of his blue funk.

And when the whole thing comes tumbling down, whoever's left standing isn't going to learn the right lessons from history. People who believe in Lost Causes ain't with THAT.

Well, the first movie does do us a service. It reminds us of where Schulz comes from: an unforgiving place filled with Germans and Scandinavians where it's either win or die. Less totally-up-their-ass people would shrug off coming in second place but not the square-heads in Uptightland.

Voting blocs have always been fluid so it's good that someone's finally said so. Thank you, Spencer. Also, this is getting damned close to the One Big Tribe thing I want to see.

Starchy's insanity will play well in the new, messed-up Candy Kingdom. Somehow or other, that glob of talking earwax will cause the destruction Lemonhope comes home to.
