“Snakes! Why did it have to be snakes?”

Look, we all know people hate the finale and final season, but the Sept of Baelor scene is one of the finest sequences in modern TV history. A masterclass of dramatic tension and pacing. It’s good shit, and the show was full of good shit for several seasons. So, if we’re gonna celebrate stuff, I’m cool with focusing…

Right? Gen X had to grow up listening to Boomers tell us how great the 60s were and how we were all just too selfish nowadays (in the 80s - a laugh, given the “Me Generation” culture of the 70s!).

Spock.  Bones.  Duh.

Spike and Joyce Summers on Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Ooh, now you’re talking. The original French version is one of my absolute favourite TV series, and Mogwai’s soundtrack is brilliant. Vive Le Auld Alliance!

Mumford & Sonderkommandos

“As long as I could remember, I always wanted to be a disaffected teenager.” (Tony Bennett’s Rags to Riches wells up on soundtrack)

The same sort of happened in the first run of 6. Dave Chappelle’s episode was very messy due to the bloated cold open, the lengthy monologue, and some iffy sketches here and there (that Super Mario thing), but the sheer burnout meant that they tried some pieces which they usually don’t do on modern SNL and which were…

Snagglepuss was in on it! Flee to the border!

Look, I know everyone loves the guy. I know he’s wildly beloved, and I know he’s spent many years working hard for liberal causes. I know he’s a big part of our movement... I just can’t stand the guy. Won’t support anything he’s involved with out of sheer principle. If anything, it might Make America Great Again just…

I’d go a little earlier to the cast before that, with Jan Hooks, Jon Lovitz and Nora Dunn. You still have Hartman, Carvey and Miller and you get Mike Myers toward the end. I admit my bias toward Lovitz and Hooks and an indifference toward Sandler. I also don’t think Chris Rock got to do enough on SNL.

There’s many similarities between this and QAnon:

It gets better when you realize that Laura Palmer’s mother and Susan Ross’s mother are the same actress.

I still think Matt Smith’s first season is the strongest NuWho season, despite the Moffatt-ian quirks.

I’d say series 5 is Moffat’s strongest—he actually delivered on a coherent and satisfying season arc, and his go-to trick of playing around with time travel and continuity still felt more like magic and less like misdirection at that point. Capaldi, however, is my favorite Doctor, and I’m with you on series 9 in terms…

I tried the Storm Trooper sauce, but it never quite hit the spot.

Yeah there’s definitely a feeling of “b-sides” to this album.

Yeah the comedy here was from bringing real world reactions and consequences into the commercial’s absurd scenario. And then when it seemed to plateau with that, it brought in the neighbor and the extra plotlines to just keep going over the top. I loved this whole bit.

I have a bad feeling about this.
