I think Trump’s election convinced a lot of these people that anything is possible. I also think some of them (like de Blasio and Gabbard) are actually running for VP, and using these debates to showcase their talents.

The new comment system is really annoying. The only plus side (probably) is that now when wild loose ninnies argue with me I’ll almost certainly never know or see it. It’s so much easier to bookmark a post and return directly than it is to use the new notification system (which doesn’t bother to label anything), if…

I blame Fortnite.

It’s always a golden retriever!

Yeah, I thought all that stuff was great. I cried a lot during the final episode. Far more than I expected to!

You have to understand that we have an incredibly skewed and inaccurate view of these types of dynamics from our vantage point in the present, simply because no one records the instances where everything is fine. History tends to note and explore the extremes in the continuum, not the mundane day to day existence. I’m…

Actually, until the twentieth century, the world operated on such a strict don’t ask, don’t tell policy, where certain topics were simply never discussed, that sexuality was far less policed than it is today. Same sex relationships and behavior we would consider bisexual was remarkably common for many centuries, not…

Oh, good point, Myles. I can’t believe I missed that. Now I see why they gave you a PHD. Still, the basic problem in that meeting with Tastee and her lawyer was that Cindy had disappeared into the ether, which was clearly not the case in the final episode. And it’s Tastee’s lawyers who only need to make one or two more…

I feel this way about a lot of Switch games. I had to buy a pair of reading glasses from the drug store as my first Switch accessory. It drives me crazy.

There were several times over the years I came very close to dropping this show. In fact, I did drop it a few times, but kept getting talked back into it by tweetstorms and reviews. I’m glad I made it to the end. This was a good final season.

I haven’t seen this yet, but I am very excited for the return of both Oliver and the Hiphopopotamus!

I’m from San Diego, we lived in Mexico for almost a decade, and even now we’re in New Mexico. I’ve spent my entire life on America’s southern border. I don’t believe in open immigration. That’s crazy. No country on Earth has that. And the countries we hold up as examples of civilization working at its finest, like…

Counterpoint: never having to hear that terrible, grating song again is the best part of Orange is the New Black finally coming to an end.

Which is actually quite similar to the problem with Battlestar Galactica. They literally opened every episode by saying the cylons had a plan, and the more obvious it became that no one involved with the show, including the cylons, had a plan, the more frustrating it became. There’s nothing unfair or unreasonable…

And especially if she’s from another country. American reruns have pretty much saturated the globe. You never know what’s on the air anywhere. I was just reading some thing the other day about how That’s So Raven is currently one of the most popular shows in Brazil.

I liked the ending. I could tell someone was going to die, but I thought it was going to be her dad, so I was pretty happy when it turned out to be Logan instead. Unlike her dad, Logan didn’t add much to things, and is imminently replaceable.

Well, to be fair, you invite dissent when you say Lost, which was easily the most divisive ending to anything (and I mean anything, not just television shows) ever. I mean, really. The fall of the Roman Empire generated less global static than the final season of Lost.

Home Movies was one of the first things I thought of, too.

I’m fairly confident that the correct answer to this will end up being The Venture Brothers, but ok, of the things that actually exist now...

I’m obviously biased, but I have trouble imagining a better 1950s lobotomy story than Bojack Horseman’s The Old Sugarman Place. The bar has been set pretty high on this particular subject.
