And to be fair, any white kid who was into ’90s NYC hip-hop has no excuse to not be familiar with at least a little 5 Percenter philosophy. I should know: I’m one of ‘em.

But the Delos grunts couldn’t see “the door,” so even if they were watching it happen, they’d have just seen a bunch of hosts tumble off the edge of a cliff for no discernible reason...

I’m still very, very creeped out by Jeffrey Jones’ transformation in that movie. It was one of those images that has stuck with me since childhood.

The title of this review sums it up pretty perfectly. Despite a number of revelations happening in the S2 finale, none of them really floored me as a viewer. I think that may be the big drawback of the funky-timeline/mystery-box style the show takes: after last season, everyone was conditioned to expect some big

“Kirstjen Nielsen” sounds like the name of a woman who, when she finds out her son has a black friend, throws away one of his favorite toys and uses it as a pretext to not invite the black friend over anymore.

GAAAAAHH NOOO—Don’t get me wrong, I’m crazy happy for both of ‘em. They deserve it, they’re hilarious, and this is just the next step in what will hopefully be a great career. Unfortunately, subscribing to Showtime solely for a weekly talk show is not on my list of “things to budget for.”

White folks have been on to “Yacubian” ever since that one episode of “Black Dynamite” sent a bunch of ‘em scurrying to their computers to Google a little Five Percenter math.

I’m not certain that’s what happened. I thought that was a room full of hosts who were all in — for lack of a better way to phrase it — the “off” position, not necessarily ruined/“dead” hosts.

I mean, wasn’t he the head of Delos at some point before being kicked off the board? I gotta believe if anyone could commission a secret project to help him fool the scanners, it’s William.

I think part of it is that she isn’t the focus in the same way she was last season. Her embracing of this “Wyatt” role has turned her into much more of a one-note character. She’s occasionally shown some of last year’s character complexity in interactions with her dad and with Teddy, but not enough in my estimation.

I’m pretty sure I’d have rather seen William get offed by the Delos rescue squidder, and then watch Emily try to expose the corporation (whether successfully or not) in the season finale. Ed Harris is a great actor, but his arc doesn’t seem to be yielding much great material these days. I have to believe the only

It’s basically a combination of a root chord, a major fourth and fifth, and a minor sixth. As 70on17 mentioned, various permutations of those chords show up alllll over pop music.

“PRESTO! You’ve got yourself a goddamn pound of tasty gravlax...”

“PRESTO! You’ve got yourself a goddamn pound of tasty gravlax...”

Fun fact: the musical structure for “Hook” is identical to another ubiquitous melody: Pachelbel’s “Canon in D,” a.k.a. That Song From Everyone’s Wedding Ever.

I grew up in southwestern PA, which certainly has its share of racist wypipo. And while I heard several shockingly inventive epithets for black folks over the years, “porch monkey” was never specifically one of them. In fact, I remember hearing that term used more for poor white people who spent mad time sitting

Perhaps...? I have not heard that before.

Like 4 Non Blondes’ Linda Perry? I didn’t know that!

ABC squashed that shit like Delbert the Exterminator in Arachnophobia.... MAN, I really like me some John Goodman.

[UPDATE] ‘Roseanne’ is no mo’. #ByeBecky

I look forward to the rally on the ABC HQ front steps with her and Mike Huckabee. #DearGawdPleaseNo
