As a die hard fan, I can only say it’s a damn shame Chris Carter wasted what was left of the fans’ goodwill and the best efforts of the other writer/directors of season 11 (which was largely pretty good) with that complete garbage premiere and finale. All the years he’s had to come up with an interesting new mytharc…

Wow, color me impressed. As a longtime GBV fan and maker of GBV mixes for new initiates, I came on here all ready to scoff, but this is a great collection of songs! High fives for Ha Ha Man and Look It’s Baseball in particular.

Wow, this book looks amazing! A tad out of my price range, but I love Jaime enough to rack up some more debt!

Yeah, that ad needs to go. Maybe they think that wedging a thumbnail photo of a woman harassing a man between every article on Weinstein, Spacey, et al, is somehow ironic good fun? (Hint, AVC: it’s not.)

I think the official reasons he gave were his increasingly busy schedule (Silicon Valley, etc) and, to a lesser extent, certain areas of the fandom giving him endless shit about some of his opinions and taking the fun out of the whole thing. But I’m guessing that being part of the reboot made it weird, too - becoming…

I’m happy for his success and all, but I wish Kumail would revive his X Files Files podcast.

First Sam Shepard, now Harry Dean? I’m not cool with this.

Well, that sort of worked!

I have a friend who feels the same way about Kanye, and it irks me, because he’s a musician & has produced his own stuff, and I feel like he should be able to see through Kanye’s ego and at least appreciate his production talent. But he’s just like “nope, he’s an asshole!” I’m gonna send him this video. He’ll…

But...Toni Basil’s Mickey is itself a cover - she changed the name from “Kitty” to “Mickey.” According to Wikipedia, the songwriters are glam-pop hitmakers Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn. How is she able to lay claim to the rights?

I’m checking in occasionally, but when I try to comment, I’m still in the greys. My discussion is unreasonable, I guess?

Thanks! I’ll try following you back...I actually can’t tell if I’m gray or not because the Kinjamprove Chrome extension only shows the gray for photos.

Man, sad news. It was a Christmas Eve tradition at my house to stay up for Darlene Love singing and Jay Thomas trying to hit the meatball on top of Dave’s tree.

Oof. Wonder if it would help if I followed the staff? Would they follow me back or are they flooded with people doing that and it doesn’t make a difference?

So right now Sean & co. are scrolling through and following all the regulars and non-trolls...yeah, I can see that process getting old quick. Oh well, here’s hoping I get followed by somebody legit soon, but if not, as my favorite solo Beatle album says, all things must pass....

Urgh. I wasn’t even a frequent commenter or anything, but still. This is super frustrating.

I’m also stuck in the greys...I’ve made several comments, staying on-topic with the articles, and yet they’re still pending approval. Should I just be patient or is this a help-desk issue?

Getting the Kinjamprove Chrome extension really does help with reading the comments, but as for commenting.... I think I goofed something up when I was linking to my old account, and I’m not sure if that’s why, but none of the on-topic comments I’ve made here so far have been approved by the staff. Who knows if…

Probably more of a supporting character than a minor one, but Chris on Catastrophe is my absolute favorite right now.

Psyched to hear that Maron’s got a new special, but mainly I just wanted to see if my account merge worked. Am I here?
