Here’s my favorite bit of utter stupidity that I read in the spoiler space this morning -

But their precious unassailable morals! Surely they must be needlessly defended again to anyone who will listen!

I mean all this criticism of Lorne Michaels is more than valid and he should be call out about it but the article kinds of skips over that all that Kattan alleges happened, did so because Heckerling propositioned him and…

I didn’t rewatch the series, and I admit I was grateful for a couple of the flashbacks.
