I agree that it works for the plot, but given the time period, you'd think they'd have went with a gay rumour. It's just an odd character quirk to run with, is all. No harm done.

I think that's just it. The CGI was as early as the concept of it, so it was still new and futuristic to us. Think seeing N64 graphics then and seeing them now.

More of a religious-upbringing thing, but The Pilgrim's Progress never sat well with me as a kid. The illustrations on each opposing page were always unsettling. People being carried on spits through mountain cracks into hell, the obese man who chooses the curving path (as opposed to the straight and narrow, of…

Hey, Reboot wasn't bad.

I forgot about that! Despite having seen it multiple times as a kid, I chiefly just remember Michaelangelo showing up, as that was my jam at the time.

Is it worth checking out as an adult? Only asking because I don't know if you have an older child you're showing it to, etc.

That's more sad than terrifying, but good pick.

Fuck, I hated that movie.

No it's not, it's a door.

Hell, the Jays had the longest playoff drought in pro sports before last year, in the hardest division in baseball, and now we're the villain. It's kind of cool, don't get me wrong, but going instantaneously from perennial bystanders to the assholes was definitely a transition. For what it's worth, our sports markets…

If it helps, it's only another 60 years, and there will be actual hover-boards by then. (Spoken as a Jays fan who readily admits you guys kicked our asses.)

Cleveland Shows.

I've been vaguely meaning to get into Toronto FC for some time now, though they seem to be more represented by "Fuck her in the p***y" guy than anything else, which is pretty much the reputation of Toronto sports fans these past couple of years, unfortunately.

He's spinning the ball on his finger! Take it! Take it!

ESPN predicted the Blue Jays in five games, and you guys made short work of us. I'm just thankful we got the one. Also, I can't imagine how much it must have sucked on some level to have not won since 1948 and then finally get there only to find out your opponent is the Chicago Fucking Cubs.

A Sportsnet reporter basically asked the new Commissioner, "How much better would this be if the Cubs - who won more games than the Indians - got to play out this historic moment at Wrigley Field and what are you going to do about that in the future?"

To be fair, I think there is some merit to the subjectivity of the degree of the role the drink plays. It just seemed to turn into a conversation about the definition of rape and I wanted to be clear I wasn't arguing against that.

Eh, I'm of the old guard who has only recently graduated from collecting DVDs to joining Netflix, and I'm only 30. My phone is a smartphone with a picture of my then-newborn nephew as the screen, and even that phone has been greeted with a T-Rex impersonation. I'm aware of Piratebay, and the site I was occasionally…

I suppose, though it seems like another limb to the argument of cramming two stand-alone concepts into one episode. From what little I've learned of Brooker, he does seem the cheeky, blithe sort to pull an "Oh, and here's some unjust eternal damnation! Merry Christmas!" As much as that ending soured me to the episode,…

It's Bill Murray, but I like that they both seem to be enjoying this enough to let it continue.
