That was a good (and unjustly short) run of Exiles.

I’ll go further and say that the writing has been really inconsistent since the jump to TBS: Sometimes great, sometimes OK, sometimes just very...forgettable. There will be times I catch a rerun in syndication and it takes me some time to realize that I’ve seen it before. Then again, some of those episodes I find…

I suspect Lynch might agree with you on that front. It was an “ambitious” failure.

Yes, I get that. It’s just a little too close for my comfort, which is kind of my (poorly explained) point. The problem with this kind of mystery TV programming is that it’s difficult to make a mystery clever enough to outfox the crowdsourcing of an engaged, online audience, without some lie of omission or…

I didn’t think it was corny, but I was really bugged me that the writers/showrunners spent a lot of time in the early run disabusing viewers of the whole “it’s some kind of purgatory” theory about the show, then they just end up doing it anyway.

Honestly, I think they wrote themselves in a corner long before the finale.  If they had been cancelled or just stopped before actually wrapping things up, I think people would regard it a lot better.  It was never going to be a neat resolution.

Please fulfill whatever obligation you have to the theater distribution then just shunt it VOD or streaming. You honestly think we’ll be good by Christmas?!? Goddamnit, I just thought of the headache retailers(or rather, the poor retail staff) will have in staging a Black Friday sale.  No, of course, they don’y NEED…

Closer to 1918, but I get your point!

Well, this is the reason I love this feature. I come here for recommends of interesting or absurd new games to check out and I get a writer grappling with the legacy of Sid Meier and his game-design choices. Well done, sir!

No idea. I just operate on memory, but with the inconsistent indexing and brusque formatting (many pre-2014 Tolerability Index articles are basically cropped to unreadability), even that isn’t a solid lock. I’m sure someone out there must be doing a better job of archiving AVC’s old content than the site itself...

Pepperidge Farm...I remember that! One of my goals here is to agitate for the weird and wonderful articles in the AVC’s archives, ones that aren’t easily classifiable (or slideshow-able) in this new G/O Media-scape, so I appreciate you pointing that out.

I sympathize with your struggle. In my youth, time just stretched out before me like a blank canvas, so killing a day on some time-waster game wasn’t a problem. Now, I find myself portioning out my time for reading, movie viewing, and games in a way where neither takes precedence...only to be frustrated by mundane…

I never really visited the old Deadspin that much—sports has never been my thing—but I am glad that they took a firm stand against the ongoing tendency of smoothing the edges off every damn site in order to turn the whole damn internet into a bunch of content mills.

Honestly, the first THPS was like a secret platformer, because the most fun I had with it was in discovering new places to grind.  The tricks themselves weren’t terribly hard to pull off (usually a bit of informed button-mashing on my part) and chaining them together wasn’t too hard to pull off.  I think by the time…

I’d like to pretend I was too good for the 90s UPN slate, but I remember being pretty invested in Nowhere Man. I do wonder if it holds up...

Now we just need a feature on The Secret Diary of Desmond Pfeiffer and Homeboys in Outer Space...

Pretty much ALL of All Hands on the Bad One is amazing (even “Milkshake ‘n Honey”, which I didn’t like at first, has imprinted on me). It’s probably has probably the best harmony, to be sure, of all their album. It also reckons with the whole “being a woman in this world and also in a male-dominated industry” issue in…

At the very least, if they are mostly or completely finished with the scripts, they could either release them, turn the whole thing into a comic book run, turn them into an audio play type thing, or all of the above.  There are always options.

I’m pretty sure The Lincoln Project (and those performative DNC appearances by Kasich and Powell) is the Never-Trumper Republicans’ attempt to either rehab the image of the GOP post-Trump or to create fertile ground for a new conservative party.

Most of my my life, my father and I have stood on opposite sides of the political spectrum. We’ve argued over many issues and as I grow older, I recognize that some of my arguments as a young liberal were purely reactionary, short on substance and full of pithy sloganeering. On the same token, the one good thing to…
