Do people actually believe that Law & Order in any way represents reality? Because if enough of them do, then that is a bigger problem than any TV show depicting heroic cops.

I dunno, like, whatever.

Maybe you’re too young to know, but it’s human nature to slide into self-reverential nostalgia as you enter the back stretch of life. Boomers did it, Gen X may be doing it, and in twenty years, you’ll be doing it too. 

I don’t think I’ve ever heard Kevin Smith shit on a film. Granted, I limit my exposure to him talking, but he seems pretty positive about every film he discusses.

It’s people trying to sell stuff to us GenXers.  Don’t worry, we’re still apathetic and haven’t sold out...much.

Anything asserted as canonical can be undone at the stroke of a pen, and while copyright might prevent me from distributing my own version of a story, the copyright holder can’t prevent me from deciding which version or parts of a story I consider canonical.

So that’s y’all reacting to “spoilers” from Fire and Blood (which I haven’t read and don’t care to). I mean, it’s obvious what happened with Otto, the kid, and Mysaria, so it seems odd that they would call it a spoiler and make the assumption that I’ve read the book and not just, you know, paid attention to the…

It didn’t look like it.  Daemon left just when it was heating up.

A shout-out to Mark Mothersbaugh’s work on the score for this episode. I rarely notice the scoring, probably because the cast is usually talking a mile a minute over it, but the driving strings underscoring the extended sequence where Colin Robinson discovers and then enters and investigates the hidden room was some…

Back when AVClub was still as clever as The Onion, they would have put the photo of the Worst Person You Know meme up for this newswire bit rather than Schneider’s putrid mug.

I mean, Rob Schneider sucks, but he’s not wrong in this instance. That was a really embarrassing/cringey moment for a comedy show.

I remember an episode where at the end they ask him “How ya doin’ DJ?” and he says “I haven’t said a single word in like a week and no one even noticed!”

They are now a Cousin Oliver and shaggy dog from completing Sitcom Death Spiral Bingo.

Despite the best efforts of...[checks notes]...Twitter randos and YouTube comments sections, the billion-dollar franchise will most likely succeed.

‘a lot of people’? If you want to find some assholes on any topic you can do some searches on Twitter and find them. But you need a bit more evidence to claim that there is a really large number of such assholes out there. Most people out there don’t even care about this TV show coming out.

It’s definitely weird that the older I’ve gotten the more things that I was made fun of for liking have gotten popular. It’s like the opposite of Abe Simpson’s ‘with it’ rant.

Makin’ your way through Middle-Earth Westros today takes everything you’ve got
A child bride and some incest sure would help a lot
Why don’t our eyebrows match our hair?
Sometimes you want to go where all the dragons know your name...

There can be only one:

Dip sausage in ketchup??? WTF
